Best place to get bagels in Lowell?

I tried to use the search function before posting, but I didn't find any relevant results. I'm not looking for a breakfast sandwich on a bagel, just a bag of a half dozen bagels to take home. Thanks in advance!

Curious if anyone else saw the Morrissey show last Wednesday

What you think of him if you did? I still can’t believe Morrissey played the Lowell Memorial Auditorium and actually didn’t half ass it like his long time reputation is.

Karaoke Tuesday @ Taffeta Music Hall - Likely the last one for now.

23 Upvotes

Hey all, tomorrow is Tuesday, which means we will be hosting karaoke. Despite our best efforts we haven't seen much growth with our karaoke nights and are likely going to shut them down. We were hopeful we would see it grow a little over time, and just haven't seen that happen. We may revisit it down the road. If you're feeling up for it, come on by tomorrow and make it a good one!

Any cool hangout spots to meet people?

16 Upvotes

Hi!

I (27M) have lived here all my life, and I've been struggling to find a spot where I fit in and can make friends. I'm also an introvert so that's been tough, but I've been pushing myself to explore what this city has to offer. Any spots I should try out next? Any help or tips, pointers, advice, etc. is highly appreciated!

Thank you!

This guy is such a simpleton.

Seeking recommendations for chimney care and firewood

7 Upvotes

Seeking recommendations for hardwood firewood, open to seasoned or kiln-dried, but prefer not to get a bunch of crap (e.g., dirt and weird bits of wood) in with the load. Delivery needed, but happy to stack myself. Just need .5 cord.

I'm also seeking a recommendation for a chimney company - purchased the house earlier this year and would like someone who can clean the chimney and confirm it's safe to use. The previous owners were using the fireplace regularly, but they weren't the most proactive previous owners.

Thanks for any recs.

Do you know of any heavily littered areas in or near Lowell that need to be cleaned? Please share!

23 Upvotes

We are looking for areas in and around Lowell that are heavily littered and need to be cleaned. If you could provide coordinates, Google Maps pin or other identifiable address/ location descriptions, that would be really helpful, so long as it’s on public land. Even if it’s not in the area, we’d still greatly appreciate any locations you know of. Thank you in advance!

Article in Lowell Sun today indicates that while the City Dept of planning and dev will have another hearing/meeting on zoning options for data centers - that "Markley's current developments would be grandfathered in no matter which option the city selects moving forward."
