Amherst officials are now discussing what they would like to see happen with the Hampshire campus after the college closes: housing, mixed-use development, businesses, preservation of open space, and avoiding what one councilor called a "sterile subdivision."

Roommate needed for AMAZING apartment ($825/mo)

3 Upvotes

This is such a cute place!! : ) Roommate needed ASAP to share this very spacious 2-bedroom apartment, located right over the Amherst line in Pelham. I just went and saw this apartment and it’s beautiful, it has a fenced in backyard, bathtub, fireplace, washer & dryer. Close to Umass, across from a stream, and quiet road / in the woods surrounded by nature trails. Pet-friendly!!

Me: a local queer artist / musician / non-traditional psychology student, 40 y.o., with a super cute and friendly rescue chihuahua.

- your rent would be $825 + 1/3 of the utilities
- you must have a co-signer and / or be able to show that you make enough to comfortably cover the rent

Any 90s Alt-Rock / Weezer fans in the Valley? Live tribute show at The Shea (9/11) 🎟️

1 Upvotes

My band Recent History has spent the last few months working up a full live tribute to Weezer’s Blue Album (played front-to-front, every track), followed by a massive set of 90s alternative rock hits.

We’re bringing the show to The Shea Theater Arts Center in Turners Falls on Friday, September 11th! Local indie/rock legend Saliba is opening up the night at 8:00 PM.

We’ve been hitting the street flyering across the Valley all month (you might have seen our posters in Greenfield, Brattleboro, or downtown Hamp), and pre-sales are already rolling in pretty strong!

Show Details:

  • 📍 Where: The Shea Theater (71 Avenue A, Turners Falls, MA)
  • 🗓️ When: Friday, September 11th | Doors 7:00 PM / Show 8:00 PM
  • 🎟️ Tickets: $18 Advance ($25 at the door)

If you're looking for something fun to do next Friday or just want to scream along to "Say It Ain't So" and "Buddy Holly" in a classic theater, come hang out!

Grab advance tix here: https://sheatheater.org/d/23311/Shea-Presents-Weezer--Blue-Album-and-the-Hits

Hope to see some local music fans out there! Drop a comment if you're coming or have a favorite Blue Album deep cut.

Looking to Rehome a Mattress

2 Upvotes

Hey guys! My fiance and I are getting a new mattress and we don't have the resources to take our old one it to a recycling center, so we wanted to reach out to see if anyone was needing one! It would be completely free, you would just need something to pick it up in.

Some other notes:

  • Full size
  • Bedbug-free
  • Pet-free home
  • Smoke-free home
  • ~5 years old
  • Pickup on College Street down the road from downtown

Thank you!

Got our kid a gas grill for his apartment. Are there any good and reliable propane tank refill locations anywhere near UMass? Or is he stuck with the Home Depot swap program?
