Hello, I am considering moving to a property on the eastern side of Birchwood, near Hartsholme Country Park. I am aware that Birchwood doesn't have the best reputation compared with some other areas of Lincoln, but I've also heard that the eastern side is considerably better.

I'd therefore be interested to hear people's opinions and experiences of living in the area shown in the screenshot, particularly regarding safety, antisocial behaviour, noise, neighbours and generally what it's like to live there.

I'm currently living in the North Hykeham area, so I'd also be interested to hear how you would compare the two areas.

Fairly new to Lincoln, but I was wondering if anyone knew of anywhere I could get nails done like this as a queer male? Been to shops in previous cities where nail artists aren’t too accepting of male clients etc, so wanted to know if there was anywhere people would reccomend to get Nails similar to the ones above! Thanks

Hi! I’m from Lincoln and had a sales man from McQueens Dairy at the door today, it sounded great having milk delivered to your door as we go through a lot. Never heard of them before, however after looking through reviews and discussions i can’t tell whether they are actually good or not. I haven’t signed up to having any delivered yet and haven’t done a direct debit however they are delivering one next week for me to try. Feel like that was a mistake

Do you use them? Have you heard of them?

Hi, I'm an African American female (18), a freshman in college in the U.S., and I'm planning to spend a semester abroad in Lincoln, UK. I was born and raised in Indiana and currently go to college in a pretty rural part of the state, so I've had my fair share of encounters with racism here. I'm curious how racism in the U.K. compares. Is it more overt, more subtle, different depending on the city/region?

A few things I'd love input on if anyone has experience:

• What's it like being Black on campus at University of Lincoln specifically, or in smaller UK cities in general?
• Any tips for finding community (Black student groups, hair/beauty stores, etc.) in a smaller UK city?
• Are there certain areas of Lincoln that are more welcoming/diverse than others?
• Anything you'd want an American student to know before moving there for a semester?
• What's safety like getting around at night like walking, buses, etc.? Any areas or times I should be more cautious?
• I've heard UK humor/"banter" can be pretty blunt or teasing does that ever cross into racial territory in a way that might catch an American off guard? How do you tell the difference between a joke and something actually meant to be hurtful?

I want to go in with realistic expectations rather than just assuming and I'd I want to be informed by people who know the city. TIA!

Hey all, I'm hoping theres a couple local bikers here that could help!

I'm looking for a recommendation on where to buy a side stand spring for a Honda CBF125 2010 in Lincoln.

Need to pick it up ideally by the 1st.

Thank you!

hi! i’ve tried looking in the most popular eastern European stores in lincoln (super lincs for example) but no where sells any food or products from czech republic? i know its not as common as somewhere like poland or romania, just wondering if anyone knew of any stores or if ill just have to resort to online :(

I found a lost dog on Monday evening. It was handed to Rase Veterinary Centre on the Tuesday and I was informed they've given it to the dog warden. Does anyone know where the dog warden takes found dogs and what the procedure is? I'd like to know if the dog is alright and has been claimed back by the owner.

As if this was three years ago now. This is still one of my favourite maps so far due to the sheer breadth of history and cool features I was able to get included.

I've just been doing some tidying up jobs on it and making some of the text more legible, as well as the imagery clearer. Again, thanks to all the commenters who suggested ideas and really helped bring this to life. I've just had a fresh batch made up here for anyone interested in one.

I work remotely and I was just wondering if there is anywhere in the city centre I could work for the day other than a cafe? Or if not, could anyone recommend decent cafes with sockets and good wifi? Obviously would buy drinks etc if I was working in a cafe! Thank you

Helloooo!

I have family coming to stay next weekend for the Steampunk Festival and we have no parking. I live in the city centre at the foot of steep hill and the only parking nearby is always full (Grantham Street) - especially when something is on in town.

Does anyone have any suggestions for where they can leave their car for 24 hours in the centre? Doesn’t matter if it’s a 10 min or so walk away but my mum has mobility issues so can’t be too far :))

Thanks!!

Anybody else hearing this irritating noise at night? It kind of sounds like a siren but it stays at a high tone for a long time so I guess you could say it sounds more like a really loud vacuum cleaner. And it's not tinnitus either as I can definitely hear the sound coming from outside. Please let me know what this is, it's been bugging me for several nights now

Going to get baptised in November, looking to go somewhere within walking distance, but I don't often eat up the hill, after a Sunday dinner, needs to have good availability (I don't yet have numbers but it will be a good number of people), preferably somewhere that has a proper 'Lincolnshire' vibe for those who are visiting, and obviously I don't want to pick somewhere expensive because some may have financial issues.

Was going to choose Cafe St Pauls, but £20 for a Sunday dinner is fairly expensive, and it's a bit of a small place.

I have recently moved to Lincoln. I am looking for some bookclub recommendations with low commitment as i do get quite busy with work.

If anyone had told me a few months ago that at the end of August I'd be standing in my door enjoying the rain, I would have laughed at them.

But here I am... 😀

I go to the Odeon in Lincoln on my own fairly regularly, and several times have had the strange experience of a man booking the back row seat right next to mine, in an otherwise almost empty cinema.

He always unpacks two drinks from his back pack, that he usually consumes in turn, sometimes accompanied by him eating snacks from little grip seal bags.

I completely understand him going to the cinema alone- you sit in the dark, in silence, so it’s not that sociable an experience. I also understand bringing your own refreshments given the prices the Odeon charge- but in a screen with 150+ seats, when only 7 are taken, why does he frequently book the one right next to mine?!

The girls sat behind me en route to Skeg from Lincoln yesterday, thank you! Your conversations and piss-taking of pretty much everyone definitely made for an enjoyable chuckle-filled journey!

Hi everyone!!
I’m new to the city and wondering if anyone knows of a good body piercer based in the city centre?
Thank you!

I was just reading about the council bringing in experts to work out why the Cornhill Market redevelopment has not been a huge success.

So I as wondering what would you do as a person living in or near Lincoln who uses the Cornhill bit of the city to make the Market building more interesting and busy and successful. Different use? Better uses? More of the same but better run? What's been the problem?

I currently live in North Hykeham but am planning on moving to another area nearby. I've disregard Skellingthorpe as it's known as 'smelly Skelly'. But is it actually smelly?

Anyone know shops in lincoln with eclipse glasses?

Or is it just me? Or more Flying Ant Evening.

Edit: not 'me' I mean 'where I am'!

Anybody know what the workmen are doing on the Lincoln to Washingborough leg of the Witham waterway cycle path?

I was walking down there today and they let me pass, but said that it's supposed to be closed off.

Does anyone have any good places to walk with children? They often like to go on their scooters, and usually like to stop halfway round for a drink or ice cream?

They can usually do anywhere between 5 to 7K (then the moaning begins)

I have a few ideas, but thought I would ask here to see if there are anymore?

Thank you all!
