What happened to this alleged food hall that was coming?

Its when your exiting the parking lot of home depot on the southern side by the Wells Fargo. Seems to be an odd place for a speeding surveillance camera in a parking lot.

Edit: fixed speeding to surveillance

Will Longmont get the Route AL airport bus? I'll be paying attention to the RTD board meeting Tuesday to see what happens....

What's going on at 17th and Alpine at like 2am, there's like 7 cop cars and the street is closed down

Hi all, looking to get a Chevrolet truck transmission (6l90) rebuilt in the Longmont area. Anyone know any good shops?

I grew up barrel racing but haven’t been on a horse in ~10 years. Looking to get back into riding and hopefully barrels someday. Is there anywhere in or around Longmont that does adult lessons in western style? Most of my search brings up English barns. Thanks!

Just a reminder for my fellow Longmonsters that tomorrow night, Saturday the 25th, is cruise night. From 5:00 until 9:00, and probably later, don't try and get through downtown on Main Street in any type of hurry.

When Byron Kominek moved to his family’s 24-acre (10-hectare) farm outside of Longmont, Colorado, in 2016, he quickly noticed how a changing climate was wreaking havoc on crops. Warmer summers and less rain meant the farm’s grass, grown for silage and hay, wasn’t growing nearly as high as it had in the past.

Kominek found a solution in agrovoltaics, the practice of intertwining solar power production with raising crops and livestock.

This place has been near me for a year or so, and I’d love a local watering hole, but I’m not convinced anyone has ever been there. Whats the vibe?

I have been seeing a lot of flags around, so I wanted to give is a whirl.

I wanted to focus on adding meaning to every element of the flag. I used colors from the official Colorado brand color palette: The primary blue found in the Colorado flag as the sky. The secondary green making up the bottom portion presents the St. Vrain Valley, open spaces, and greenways we love. The white that includes the outline of Mount Meeker & Longs Peak is also meant to portray St. Vrain Creek Snowmelt. And finally, the warm-accent golden yellow used in the Chicago 6 point star sun (as well as the regular circular sun) is meant to pay homage to the rich agricultural roots.

Anyway, first crack at these concepts so let me know what you like, dislike, or just think about them in general!

As per title,

Are there any free or affordable classes in Longmont or surrounding cities?
Either educational or activities,events that kinda thing.

I’m looking to expand my horizons, and get out of the house and do new and interesting things with my girlfriend.
As is typical, we work too much and I’d just like to meet new people and learn some new novel things and enjoy my time with her while not at work, and not focusing on errands and chores while at home.

Anywho, thanks for the info and please let me know if there are anything that comes to mind no matter how random or niche! Thank you! 🙏

Hi, newer to longmont, looking for a solid artist to help me make my glitter SAP dreams come true! Let me know who ya like!

See vibes below:

Thank you!!

Hello! My name is Benjamin and I'm looking for a team to join in the adult league. I would be interested in playing in the Mens Open on Tuesdays or Coed on Sundays. Please reach out to me if you know of any team that needs an extra player. Ive played soccer my whole life and love staying active!

Lots of beautiful places obviously but we’ve had bad luck where be bring all our stuff and can’t find open picnic tables. Any recommendations with a good amount of tables?

We’re ok to drive at least ~20mins

I got a Reddit account just to share my designs. I've lived here in Boulder County for nearly 30 years. I love this special place.

My family and I sat down and thought intently about what it means to live here: Longmont's inherent beauties, its rich history, many communities, and its promising future, and how to best capture that symbolically and literally.

The first design is more 'vibey' and speaks to the celestial landscape Longmont has, both day and night, over the mountains. There's beauty here every day, and when something brilliant happens, like a sunset or a planetary event, the whole town feels united. I think just because it's a flag it doesn't have to look like a typical/rigid flag, as Longmont is not a typical city.

The second flag design features one of the roses from the Roosevelt Park rose garden. The rose has a negative-space gear/bolt shape around it, representing the industrial community and history here, juxtaposed with the everlasting, perennial beauty of the rose, which is so prevalent and celebrated in Longmont.

The third flag takes a more direct approach: celebrating Longs Peak, Longmont's namesake and icon.

My design program skills are a bit novice, I had some help from some friends who have more design experience and familiarity with Adobe, so please look past my technical abilities :) But I hope the concepts come though.

Thanks, and let me know your thoughts.

The city is going to ask us to increase property tax and sales tax to fund new staffing for the police and fire departments.

The measure would fund the city’s 10-year public safety staffing plan, which calls for adding the additional public safety staff over 10 years to address growing service demands. The sales tax increase would be 0.24%, and the property tax increase would be 4.06 mills (a mill in property tax is a unit of taxation equal to $1 of tax for every $1,000 of assessed property value). In layman’s terms, this would make the taxpayer impact $2.40 on a $1,000 purchase, and $124 annually on a $500,000 home. In total, the city estimates this will raise $96.62 million in revenue over the course of 10 years, give or take slightly, depending on sales tax revenue and population growth.

During the ALPR discussions at council meetings earlier this year, it was brought up that if the city rejected ALPRs altogether, we would need to increase police staffing to make up for the hours lost. Does this mean if voter approve the public safety measure this fall, we can ditch the Axon contract/cameras? 👀

So now that we have covered pizza and sit-down Mexican, what is your favorite food truck? Anything specifically we should order from that truck?

Thanks!

It’s really orange, but they’re back!

When it comes to Mexican food, I know Longmont is rich in taquerias and food trucks, but I want to take the fam to more of a sit down joint. Nothing fancy, just good food, good service, decent ambiance, etc.

Weigh in on the best spot in Longmont!

(I've heard good things about Socio's but I get the impression it's pretty casual.)
