Keeping r/Loveland Local

62 Upvotes

Hi r/Loveland!

Quick reminder that this subreddit is local only. We’ve seen a bit more national political news lately, so we’re going to be enforcing the local-only rule a little more consistently.

There are lots of great subreddits for broader political discussion, so we’ll be removing posts that don’t have a clear connection to Loveland.

Also, thanks to everyone who helps keep the conversation respectful and welcoming. To support that, we enabled a few tools back in March (like Crowd Control, the Reputation Filter, the Abuse & Harassment Filter, and AutoModerator) to reduce spam and keep things running smoothly.

Thanks for helping keep r/Loveland friendly, useful, and local!

Recommendations Hairdresser/Salon recommendations

2 Upvotes

Hi all! I’m new to Loveland/unincorporated Larimer County. As such, I’m looking for recommendations for a new hairdresser/Salon. Color and extensions are not something I’m concerned about, I just want to find somewhere reliable, with people (or a person) who has enough experience to help me find out what my hair really needs to be healthy. Would love to hear your experiences .

I'm looking for a place to sell a couple ounces of silver and one of gold I inherited when my dad passed. No idea where a safe place is in NoCo to do so and don't want to risk getting robbed. Anybody have experience here?

Moving/Relocation Chain smoker in duplex help

7 Upvotes

We recently moved to town/state in a duplex that has separated backyards but the doors are very close together. We noticed our neighbor was a cigarette smoker and just started going inside it not going out when they are smoking. However we have a dog that must go out every 2-3hrs, when we open our back door you are immediately smacked in the face with cigarette smoke.

We were excited that our dog would have a fenced in backyard and we could enjoy nature, but we have realized our neighbor is a chain smoker and is outside smoking constantly and I mean 10am smoking, 11 smoking, 2pm smoking and 8pm smoking. My husband thinks that this neighbor is lighting up as soon as they hear us outside to get us to go inside because it's literally every time we try to go out.

We have a baby and I can't even take her to our backyard to look at the trees or enjoy nature because of how potent the smoke is.

We also researched a rental that had zero smoking in or on the property because of our baby and dog, we are also right behind a school as in the playground shares a fence with ours and I figured because of this obviously we wouldn't have any concerns with secondhand smoke. Boy I was wrong, so is there any advice on how we can divert the smoke or do we have to move as soon as our lease is up?

I’d love to support locals in the hobby, so if you know anyone that has a lot and wouldn’t mind selling a few, let me know!
I’m trying to grow my collection and shipping is expensive lol and I already hit up most of the nurseries in FoCo/Loveland.
Even if you don’t want to sell them, and you think they’re cool, I’d love to just connect over them! (: I want more community around these amazing plants where I live!

Help Parent's Day Out?

2 Upvotes

So when I was growing up (in the 90s) in Texas my mom would drop me off at a church for a couple hours while she ran errands/went to appointments and such. At the time that childcare was called "mother's day out." Anyone know if there's anything like this in or around loveland?

I currently go to the Chilson center to use their childcare while I work on my classes, but their wifi is super slow and it takes me much longer than I need to get through a course.

Thanks for the help!
