My grandmother wove this piece and it's been stuck in storage. I'd like to finally get it on a wall, but it needs a custom mount and I don't know who to hire.

Details:
• 30.5" wide x 107" long, about 20 lbs
• Thick roving, long knotted fringe, stones woven in, and two small wood pieces that need reattaching
• My ceilings are 107" too, so the top ~20" needs to run onto the ceiling and turn the corner with a rounded bend, not a sharp fold

If you make armatures or mounts for fiber work, or know someone who does, send me a quote. Students and recent grads are welcome. Happy to bring it by in person.

DM me or comment, thanks!

I really like going through the car wash.

I used to like Hoosier Express on 2nd because they had that car slot machine where you could win a free wash, but they killed it (and they put up a sign saying it would be back soon but it’s not).

New one next to Culver’s on west 3rd is trash. Water World is trash. KB Washworld on 46 in Ellettsville is nice. I try to stick to touch free.

Where y’all going through the wash?

There are countless articles detailing the years of mismanagement the health department has suffered through. I won't repeat all the details here, but here's some background: https://bsquarebulletin.com/health-administrator-fired-plans-wrongful-termination-suit-against-monroe-county/

My question is WHY? Monroe County is home to a semi-respected university with a School of Public Health. The county has money, countless educated people live here and vote and serve on relevant boards and committees. Why, despite all this, has everyone just stepped back and allowed this big obvious slow-moving disaster to snowball? There must be a reason, someone please give me the dirt.

Hey all! I moved to the area with my wife a couple months ago and need to find community. Looking for friends or recommendations for places to connect.

33(m), non-religious, married, have 2 cats and plenty of house plants. I like to paint/do art, play drums, play sports (I don’t watch/follow sports), hike, fix/make stuff, game (Helldivers 2 and sandstorm insurgency have been games of choice lately). I’m down to grab coffee, a drink, have a fire, hike or just hang out

I'm totally blanking - the burrito place that used to be above Soma and what was the vinyl store behind Soma in that little nook and also a middle eastern restaurant???

Has anyone heard of what shops are doing flash events for Halloween/ Friday the 13th!? Was looking for somewhere in Bloomington or surrounding areas. Thanks!

I was informed on my last post that it was actually a waxing gibbus last night and not a true full moon, but tonight we definitely got that beautiful, full Hunter's Moon. Shot on my OM System OM-3 with the OM System 600mm lens and post processed in Lightroom.

I know there’s the big 18+ event happening but I dont wanna mingle with freshman lol

Taken with my stupid samsung s wtv phone. Art is dead.

Greetings!! I have lots of baby/toddler items, all nice and in good condition that I would love to donate to an organization that will disperse to those who need it. I have boy and girl clothing ranging from 2T-5T, a freestanding gate system, a crib, lots of toys, etc. I do not want to drop off to goodwill as I do not support their business model and don’t really have time for a yard sale nor am I looking to profit off these items. If you know of anyone who may be able to use such items send them my way as well. Thank you!

Edit: I very much appreciate all the helpful recommendations!!! May you all have the best Tuesday ever!! 😃

We’re one week out from Election Day! For anyone doing last minute research, I know it can be hard to find quality resources, especially on state & local races so I wanted to suggest a great place to start.

To see all the races that will be on your ballot in one place, along with information on the candidates, I highly recommend Vote411.org

It is a site run by the League of Women Voters—a group that has long been a reliable source of non-partisan election information. Every election, they send questions to all candidates to compile into guides for voters—and the overwhelming majority of candidates participate!

Their site makes it easy to find out what your candidates stand for. You simply enter your location to see your custom ballot with information on all of the races. You can read through candidate responses, select the candidates that you like, and when you’re done you can send your finished ballot to your phone or email.

If you are in Bloomington you can vote early all this week and on the Monday before Election Day at 501 N. Morton.

They are open from:
8 am-6 pm M-F
9 am-4 pm Sat. Oct 31
9 am-12pm Mon. Nov 2

If you can’t vote early, make sure you are ready to vote on Tuesday November 3rd & know where your polling place is. (You can find this on Vote411 too!)

Happy voting people! Get out there!

I have a dog that I like to take out with me. He’s been in The Upstairs a few times before and can handle the noisy and crowded atmosphere very well. I’m a bit timid and don’t approach people very well so I use him as a means for starting conversations and meeting people. I would like to know of some other businesses (if any) that are okay with (well behaved) dogs that are social hangouts.

I use him to help with my social anxiety. He is not a service dog and I don’t claim him as one. He’s just well-trained.

I’m not the best when it comes to researching each individual that shows up on the ballots/knowing who will even be an option, so I’d like to hear what everyone thinks about candidates, or how people responded to the vaguely worded questions towards the end.

I’m more left leaning!! But I hate voting straight democrat, because I know that’s not always a good idea since some people may be better than others, and I know some republicans like to run as a dem to try and get voters.

Just wondering if anyone here has insight about good places to work as a CNA, I know, sometimes hospitals can often under staff CNA’s, but unfortunately, I’m not finding much clarity online about the ratios at these healthcare facilities. Which is honestly what makes or breaks the job.

So if anyone does know, even just a little info would be appreciated, thank you so much.

I was hoping to catch the 1 bus on 10th St and then switch to the 4W at the station. Obviously the 1 (red) isn’t going to make it all the way north and back to my stop on schedule (2 minutes). Does anyone know if the 1 gets so behind that it skips entire loops? If so is there anywhere to keep up with when that happens? Should I be using a different app?

Does anybody know or have a link to whatever is going on with Fullerton Pike (again)?

They finally got the road opened up again, only to close it further down the way. Looks like the area just passed the round about by the library down to Rockport is closed.

Hi guys I was wondering what the best pumpkin patch is around here? I’m from northwest Indiana and have always gone to County Line Orchard but I’m not sure if the Bloomington area as anything like that here. Preferably a place that isn’t just a pumpkin patch and sells things like treats and apple cider!

The City of Bloomington will resurface South Liberty Drive from West Third Street to the end of the City-maintained roadway on Thursday, Oct. 29 and Friday, Oct. 30, weather permitting.

The work will take place overnight from 7 p.m. to 3 a.m. and will be performed by Milestone Contractors as part of the City’s annual pavement maintenance program.

South Liberty Drive will remain open during construction, but motorists should expect temporary lane restrictions, flagging operations and brief delays. Access to businesses and properties along the roadway will be maintained, although brief interruptions may occur as crews complete paving operations.

Motorists are encouraged to use caution when traveling through the construction zone, follow posted signage, and allow extra travel time.

The City of Bloomington appreciates the public’s patience and cooperation as these improvements are completed to help maintain and improve the City’s roadway infrastructure.

For the latest information on road, sidewalk, and parking restrictions, visit bloomington.in.gov/inroads. For questions or additional information, please contact the City of Bloomington Public Works - Street Division at 812-349-3448.
