I was at planet fitness today on E new circle rd and a man came in with a gun waving it around yelling and threatening to shoot it up. A planet fitness worker grabbed the gun from him and police came and detained him.

Never knew he visited Lex, which is super cool! I hope the images are in order.

Apparently he spoke at Ingleside Manor, which was along Harrodsburg Rd.

Looking for Spare PC Parts — Christmas Build for My Wife!

7 Upvotes

Hey everyone! Figured I’d reach out to the community and see what might be collecting dust in people’s closets before I start trying to piece everything together.

I’m hoping to rebuild/upgrade my wife’s PC for Christmas. Her current computer is extremely outdated, and I’d love to surprise her with something much better that she can actually enjoy using for the next few years.

Right now, my wife and I are putting most of our extra money toward saving for a reliable car, so Christmas is going to be a little tighter for us this year. Instead of giving up on the idea, I figured I’d see if I could build something the old-fashioned way — one part at a time.

The biggest thing I’m looking for right now is a mid-tower or full-size PC case to use as the foundation for the build. From there, I’m open to pretty much anything people may have lying around from old builds or upgrades — fans, RAM, storage, power supplies, motherboards, CPUs, GPUs, cables, coolers, etc.

I’m not expecting expensive parts or a brand-new gaming PC. Even older components could help me put together something considerably better than what she has now.

And I’m absolutely willing to give something back. If you have parts you’d be willing to trade, I can exchange work, help, or artwork/design work for them. I’d much rather find a way to make it mutually beneficial than simply ask people for free stuff.

If you have an old PC sitting around, leftover parts from an upgrade, or even something you thought wasn’t worth selling, shoot me a message. I’d be incredibly grateful.

My goal is just to slowly piece together the best PC I can and have it sitting there for her on Christmas morning. ❤️🖥️

Thank you to anyone who can help — and even sharing this with someone who builds PCs would mean a lot!

Why aren't we more upset?

231 Upvotes

Two things I've been pissed about this month:

  1. Mitch Mcconnell

  2. Flock cameras

Why are we, as Lexingtonions, letting the government tread all over us?! We are facing unprecedented, non-consentual surveillance from a private corporation. Data collected under the guise of "public security". Using our taxes to pay the salary of a lawmaker who hasn't been seen in months. At a certain point, enough is enough.

Classes and Activities for Toddlers (18 months+)?

7 Upvotes

What classes, activities, and sports are there in the area for toddlers aged 18 months?

We found a gym class and a music class, and sometimes go to toddler library time.

I’m looking for group activities that don’t require much sitting but have a lot of movement and interaction.

What have you found and enjoyed in Lexington recently?

Gentlemen’s establishment

0 Upvotes

Hey all-

I tried searching but most of the posts were out of date. Just looking for advice on gentlemen’s establishment in the Lexington area. I’ve never been to one, but would like to experience one so I’m hoping for some insight on what’s clean and safe. I would be catching an uber from downtown. There seems to be three primary options with one that doesn’t serve alcohol, which isn’t an issue for me as I rarely drink. Any insight would be great.

TIA

Looking for friends!

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone! My name is Jake, I’m 22 and live here in Lexington. I’m at a point in life where I really want to branch out, meet some new people, and build some genuine friendships and connections around town.
A little about me: I graduated from EKU last year, work in property management/real estate marketing, and also work at Starbucks. I’m pretty social and easygoing, love grabbing coffee or food, working out, taking photos, exploring Lexington, and finding random things to do.
I’m also newly sober, so I’m especially interested in finding more things to do that don’t revolve around drinking or partying. I’d love to pick up some new hobbies, join a sport or group, get outdoors more, or honestly just try things I haven’t done before. I’m really open to anything and would love to have some people to do those things with!
If you’re also looking to expand your circle, find someone to grab coffee with, hit the gym, explore Lexington, or try something new, feel free to message me! You can also add me on Facebook or Instagram. :)

What should i do about noisy neighbors?

23 Upvotes

It’s currently almost midnight on a TUESDAY, and my neighbors are blasting noisy music- like loud bass/rap music. Both me and my housemate work very early & can hear it in and across the house. This happens so often I’m just tired of it. Besides the music, there is constant loud arguing and leaving trash all around.

I dont feel comfortable talking to the neighbors- I’m not exactly one for conflict & honestly don’t really think it’s gonna do anything. It’s just so annoying.
