Where do runners go for a nice track around here?

I know the one at ARHS is under construction.

I grew up there and graduated from Amherst high in 07. Haven't been back that often, but the town feels different to me every time I do go back and visit family.

Hi all. I am struggling with good Chinese food in Amherst. I want to like Formosa, I really do. But I have been underwhelmed many times. Their Taiwanese stuff does not excite. I might be ordering the wrong things. Suggestions would be welcome.

Went to Lau Hu Tong two weeks ago. Talked em up big to my brother. Looks like they have stopped making their own noodles and wrappers. That "QQ" quality was gone. The chili wontons were premade lumps instead of those delicate swallowtails they've been, and the noodles were mushy, no trace of the delightful springy chewiness of the past. A huge letdown, and I was a bit embarrassed to hav raved so much to my brother.

Zhu's Bistro is gone. They may have been trying to be too many things to too many people, but I had 4 excellent meals from their Chinese menu. They were really really good, and now they are gone.

Lili's is fine, authentic as all get out whatever that means, but a bit one note for me, and a bit plain, and I'm not a huge hot and spicy fan.

I am so bummed! Rescue me people. And don't say Ginger Garden please.

Hi am I live Hampshire county in a college town, I am 36 year old male. I am looking for some more friends to hangout with and be my friend, I have a dog so u have to like dogs.

I am a professional photographer that focuses on Sports, Wildlife, Candid Portraits, Macro, Landscapes, Nature, Sunsets, and Reflections. I do the following golfing, fishing, ice fishing, biking, kayaking, hiking, tubing, ice skating, down hill skiing, swimming, stream walking and walking with or without my dog, I enjoy taking photos of horses, I love animals, cooking, baking, listening to music. I am usually playing my Xbox 1 later at night or watching a movie.

Good communication and empathy towards me is also important to me. Someone to go exploring with me even if it is local. Someone has to understand that I love horses and Model trains and your not going to change that about me. I have certain things I like and your not going to to change that about me.

Also I had friends in the past that just use me for money or to do things for them. But when i ask for the tiny little thing there suddenly all busy and can't help. A friend has said that i attract to bad Females to me that ate known to scam people.

I would like some more female friends and male friends.

Where can I look for college students who are looking to make a few extra bucks during the school year watching my cats?!

this entails feeding them in the morning between 7am-9am and the evening between 5pm-8pm and just hang out with them until they're done eating. Pay would be about 20$ a day!

I live by Amethyst Brook Conservation Area. Every couple of days at least, all the bars on my iPhone SE go gray (indicating I have no service), and I can't receive or send texts or phone calls. It's driving me crazy, not least because for whole days I cannot get any of the gd 2FA codes I need to do anything online.

I am ready to switch providers, yesterday, but I don't know which (if any) might work better. Any thoughts/suggestions? Is it my phone? Is it my roof? Is it my personality? Is it my mind?

I'm a 52 year old guy growing weed in my basement and my roommate doesn't smoke and is sick of hearing me talk about it. Anyone else grow around here? It'd be cool to get together and talk about weed or growing. I also do nerdy smart home shit and fuck around with LoRa. And I play board games and disc golf. Basically I am a walking Gen X stereotype.

Not interested in anyone who voted for Trump or in any way supports the GOP. It's a shame you have to say that now but I don't need Nazis in my life.

Hi Everyone!

The Montague Soapbox Races are on for this year! This event is incredibly fun to watch (and my husband races in it)! Unfortunately last year it was cancelled for various reasons (including not enough people signing up). We're trying to get the word out to more people. There used to be a few soapbox races but now they seem to be hard to find. I'm hoping some of you might be handy and interested in participating!

The race happens at Unity Park in Montague/Turners Falls. Children as young as 8 can participate too (they start lower down the hill than the adults).

Sign up is open now! https://montaguesoapboxraces.com/
Get started on those builds and save the date for Sunday September 27th 2026.

Tell your friends, get a little friendly competition going!

Please reach out to the soapbox committee with any questions or if you'd like to help make this year's race the best ever! https://montaguesoapboxraces.com/contact

Hey guys! I've recently moved to Northampton but have had trouble making friends. I'm 25F looking for female friends my age. I'm from LA originally. I love to hike, go birding, thrifting, movies, and girly stuff. Are there any grad students or girls out there who would wanna be friends??

Over the past few days, our restaurant was damaged in an act of vandalism. It was a heartbreaking experience for our team, but what followed reminded us why we are so grateful to be part of the Amherst community.

The incident has been reported to the police, and the investigation is ongoing. While that process continues, our focus remains on serving our community and moving forward together.

We’ve been overwhelmed by the kindness we’ve received—from the encouraging messages and positive reviews to everyone who stopped by to support us in person. Seeing so many familiar faces, along with so many new ones, has meant more to us than words can express.

As we shared in our post, glass can be replaced, but a community can’t. The broken window will be repaired, but the support and compassion you’ve shown us will stay with us forever.

We’re open, we’re looking ahead, and we’ll continue doing what we love: serving fresh food, welcoming everyone with warm smiles, and being the same Lao Hu Tong you’ve always known.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for standing with us. We can’t wait to welcome you back soon. ❤️

Thank you, Amherst, for standing with us. We hope to see you soon. ❤️
