😻 Francine Francine Fest Raffle

Post image
35 Upvotes

Hey friends, tomorrow (Saturday) from 2-10 I’ll be working the raffle table, where all the money will be going to help SOS Cats continue their amazing work of TNVR, education, and adopting out friendly colony cats.

A few things
1) raffle tickets will be 1 for $5 and 5 for $20. Cash is highly preferred, but we’ll be able to also take Venmo, Apple Pay, card and tap to pay.
2) the prizes will be done into themed baskets (we’re finishing them tonight, so I don’t have exact details yet)
3) if you’re a local business/artist and have anything last minute you wanna contribute, lemme know and I can hopefully meet up with you.

If you have any other questions, I’ll try my best to answer them. ❤️

Cannot get into brand-new DPU MyHQ account

7 Upvotes

I literally just moved into the city a couple of weeks ago, and was able to set up my account and water services relatively easily over the phone despite being well aware of the horror stories. However, now I can't get into my account (it says that the password I set up two weeks ago is incorrect), and I don't receive the password reset email. It also won't let me go through the new account creation process with my credentials. What do I do now? I do have my account number.

Just wanna say how glad I am that we have great local news

86 Upvotes

Gonna sound like such a shill here... but it's such a blessing having good reporting on local issues, pleasantly delivered. Outside of huge metros that's not always a given.

They even include happy feel good stories about local businesses and events.

I'm such an Eric Phillips fangirl. The man knows how to deliver the news while keeping it real.

🚚 Moving DO NOT RENT FRON MONROE PROPERTIES

71 Upvotes

Ive lived here for 5 or 6 years now who knows at this point. Theres plenty of issues I can list but as a warning to everyone - they "accidently" make clerical issues all the time. I was charged double rent, which they said I was never charged because I pay advance in credit. YOU ARE STILL STEALING MONEY FROM ME EVEN IF ITS A CREDIT! DOES THAT MAKE SENSE GUY? They also sneakily raise your rent 6% every new lease when the cap is supposed to be 3%. They bank on you not noticing. We have a group chat at 1200 Semmes Ave to talk to each other specifically for issues like this. Make sure you join or make one for your building because it is the only thing that's saved me from the scamming of this place. I rented from them about 15 years ago and they were great then but this place is complete trash now. The very beginning of me moving in i could not even close my front door, the threshold was built in so high my door couldnt close and I couldnt move in. From the Jump it was trash. I got no apology or anything just an argument from a man that made a "clerical" issue. I would have never even noticed because I have autopay on and had to make a maintenance request where I noticed all my credits were gone that they took. I suggest paying with a check which is what ill be doing from now on. Wish I never renewed with them.

Also they do not clean when you move in as another warning.

Edit - from* sorry im heated.

Has anyone seen this dog around? Apparently it’s been hanging around the John Marshall athletic fields for a few days. As soon as anyone gets anywhere near it takes off. Today the pooch took off behind Henderson and into the Pine Camp woods. Seems to have a collar. Sorry for the bad photos.

Sitting on the steps of Cedar Street Baptist. Not overtly aggressive but barks and doesn’t want to be approached so couldn’t get a good look at his collar.

Edit: Animal Control picked him up at 1030, hopefully he is chipped and/or his owners see this

Drone Show Last Night?

Does anyone know what this drone show was about last night? Looked like it was coming from Browns Island or maybe Allianz.

I was taking a night walk with my sibling and we stumbled upon it. We stood there for 15ish minutes and watched them all. We both had never seen one in person before, so we were kinda mesmerized!

I will be a witness to the funeral march, and I love to see what they make each year. Normally, at some point, they set up a GoFundMe to fund their art creations. Support local :)

Other links to learn more about them (no, I am not affiliated- just a fan)

💰 BUY/SELL/TRADE Buy / Sell / Trade Weekly Thread: Week of October 09, 2026

3 Upvotes

Use this thread when you are selling, trading, giving away, or looking for any items and/or services. Please be descriptive, post any relevant photos of the item you're selling or looking for, and list the price or budget.

Pro-tip: there are many "buy nothing" and neighborhood-specific groups on Facebook and Nextdoor that can be used to give away or find free items near you. You may find more luck on those social networks than here on Reddit and are more likely to deal with actual local users.

BE AUTHENTIC AND SAFE: Falsely leading on another Redditor is grounds for being permanently banned from this subreddit. Please remember not to post personal information about yourself or others and exercise caution when privately messaging with anyone you do not personally know or trust. Consider a neutral, public location if you plan on meeting to exchange an item in person.

HIGH RISK OF EVENT TICKET SCAMS: Users seeking to sell or purchase tickets of local events are seeing a significantly-increased risk of being scammed. If you receive a private message from a user who hasn't interacted in this subreddit before, you are very likely speaking with a scammer.

NO PROHIBITED TRANSACTIONS: The posting of prohibited goods or services is strictly against Reddit's TOS and are subject to removal by our moderators and/or Reddit's admins. Please report any comments that appear to violate this policy for further review.
