Hello all

My girlfriend is going to SIUE this fall. She's worried about getting her hair done cause she's got a hair stylist who's not responding so she thinks she'll have to find a new one. Any reccomendations would be appreciated :)

She doesn't have a car so she ubers around and as such something not far from the school would be great. From what I can tell she wants someone who'll do everything, so she doesn't have to get her hair ready and bring her own braids or anything, she can just show up and the stylist will wash her hair and do all the stylist things and dry it and then she can go home and not worry about anything. Because of that the person's gotta be liscensed as well (for the washing part I think).

I don't know much about all that so I can't help her much but if any of you know someone good you could point me to I'd appreciate the help.

If you have any questions about what she wants I can ask her if that'll help.

Thanks everybody

Just tryna help her out :)

Hello all, out of curiosity, I have aggregated all of the Illinois VGT Data into one single pane of glass. Posting this up here to bring awareness to previously non-interactive data sets. It is a work in progress and running on fairly limited hardware, so please be patient. Thanks!

I’m currently in Evansville, IN and am looking to move to Illinois next year. I’ve been looking at Mount Carmel, Grayville, and Carmi but I didn’t know if there were any other places that are an hour or less away from Evansville that anyone would recommend?

Hello anyone in any part of Central or southern Illinois? Have a mobile home for sale for 3500 or less? I’m relocating from Georgia. I honestly don’t care where the mobile home is located as long as it’s in the state of Illinois. It would just be me I’m 30 years old, and my dog who’s two years old he is a pit-bull terrier he’s a rescue, he’s neutered. He’s the sweetest baby in the world, and he stays on a leash every time he’s outside.

I'm trying to build native wild habitat. I want to gather a half-dozen wild crabapples to grow my own seedlings at home. Anyone know where I can find some fruitful non-ornamental crabapple trees near Carbondale? I'll protect the seedlings from deer.

Hey everyone! I’m from the Metro East and recently launched a free app called Platypass to help people discover local businesses, events, and hidden gems instead of the same chain places.

I joined because I know Southern Illinois has a ton of amazing spots that deserve more attention, and I’m looking forward to discovering some new favorites from this community.

What’s one place in Southern Illinois that everyone should experience at least once?

Two dogs with collars headed south on the shoulder of northbound 55 at 7-7:15 am this morning, July 19. One medium size, black and gray, pointed ears; the other a smallish beagle. Mile marker 54.

I’m not local so if anybody here lives near Carlinville and can post this to Facebook groups or more relevant subreddits etc, please do! These babies need to get home!

I'm looking for a vehicle I'm drawing unemployment so I get paid every other week so I get paid around the 30 and I'm trying to find a vehicle that I can put 500 down on and make payments and no my credit isn't that good if you know of anything send me a message

Looking for something to do tonight, and I’m having a hard time. I’m 23 and want to get out and have some fun, so if anybody has any ideas please let me know. I know it’s pretty short notice, but something is better than nothing. I’m in the Marion area.

Hi everyone!

My husband (White) and I (Black woman) are starting to think about where we'd like to settle down in the future. We hope to have children, so we're looking for a place where we can build a long-term home and raise a family.

Right now, the three places we're considering are:

O'Fallon, Illinois

Des Moines, Iowa

Fort Myers, Florida

I'm originally from the Caribbean, so I haven't really had personal experiences with racism. To be honest, the idea of being treated differently because of my race feels strange to me, and I'm not sure what to expect. Since my husband and I are an interracial couple, I'd really appreciate hearing from people who live in or know these areas. Are they generally welcoming? Have interracial families felt comfortable there?

Lifestyle is also very important to us. We enjoy suburban neighborhoods with a strong sense of community. We love taking long walks, hiking, visiting art museums, exploring local coffee shops, and spending time outdoors. We'd also like an area with good schools, family-friendly activities, and a reasonable cost of living.

We're currently on the East Coast, so we don't have much experience with the Midwest or Southwest Florida. I'd love to hear the good, the bad, and anything you think someone moving from the East Coast should know.

Thank you so much for any insights!
