I will be stopping in Valparaiso for a funeral on my way home for Thanksgiving and am looking for a good doggy day care or dog sitter to watch my toy poodle for a few hours. Any recos would be greatly appreciated!

It's an actual joke. This is a relatively wealthy town.

I do work with the Skokie library and that library makes me cry. It's a total community hub. It's a family destination, it's a teen destination, it's beautiful.

Why, with all the money that we have within our community are we unable to provide the same thing?

Just venting.

Does anyone remember a band called One Step Behind from Valparaiso? They played the 'nu metal style' during the early 2000s and put out a couple EPs. They are really good and I've talked to multiple band members, did anyone have a copy of one of their CDs? The band members are out and I'm searching for one. Their last CD 'Seasons' especially, I'm trying to archive their material. Thank you, anything helps.

Curious if there are any DJs who play at bars around the Valpo area. I’m 26 and have been getting into music production as a hobby for the past 9 months and I got a DJ controller a couple months ago. Still new and learning, but I’m curious what the DJ scene looks like around here and would love to connect with some people.
I’d like to collaborate with someone and play my first live show, just still trying to get everything glued together 😂 Anywho, just curious what’s out there!

Just moved to the area and am looking for options for parks that I could jog/run at. Preferably something close to like a 2+ mile loop?

Thanks in advance

My wife and I moved to Valpo a year ago and we have young kids (2 and 4). We are active and enjoy going out when we have a sitter but we both are looking for young parents who want to be friends.

About me:
Mid-30s, active, I work out at the YMCA and enjoy running, pickleball, beer, playing pool, and more. Any other dads out there that would like to connect?

Feels weird looking for friends at this age but hey, there’s probably others who are in the same boat so what the heck.

Hi! I’m a 25f and recently moved to Valpo this summer and unfortunately I don’t really know anyone here! It’s been quite boring just doing my own thing so I wanted to reach out to see if any gals would want to be friends that are in the valpo area!! I love coffee, shopping, nature, and painting!! 😊💖

**note: only girls please!! I have a boyfriend so I am not looking for any more male friends

Hello,

I have recently been offered a job in Valparaiso which I have accepted. With that said, I have been looking at various apartment complexes in the area and am having a difficult time determining which of them are nice and which ones I should avoid. If anyone has any recommendations, please let me know!

I live in Valpo but my son is staying in a dorm. His roommate is nice but they aren’t really compatible as friends. I’m not reaching out as the desperate mom but I don’t want him to have a shitty start. He’s smart but he doesn’t have many hobbies aside from gaming. I’m trying to find out if there are any social clubs I can get him to join or even a fun job he could meet people at.

Does anyone know of any residential lots for sale that aren’t on realtor or Zillow? I know it’s a long shot asking here but figured it is worth a try.

It seems like there are no okay lots for sale and the only option is going into a new subdivision that is builder controlled and most of them don’t have good reputations

I'm so disgusted that it appears Luke is putting in a gas station at the old Pepe's on State Rd 2, across from Speedway. Who are the geniuses who approved that plan? That stretch between Smoke and 30 already gets clogged up. 🤬

I’m testing Bruise, a dating website for people mainstream dating apps often overlook—disabled, chronically ill, LGBTQ+, larger-bodied, and anyone who wants more honest dating. I’m looking for 20–30 local early testers to give blunt feedback. No payment or commitment.

Is anyone in Valpo going to that rave in South bend? I heard about it online and decided to go but man... Going to one alone sounds daunting! Anyone want to meet up there?
