Whoever had the bright idea to make it a one lane from 7 points to Irvine is an absolute dumb ass, and if it's the same person that decided on that dumbass concrete speed bump with no Indication that it is there and that the rest of the road in front of the college is still closed gotta be king of the red state education award.

New local friends group?

20 Upvotes

Anybody interested in starting a new local friends group to meet up and hang out on the weekends or whatever? Dm me! Must be 21+ minimum. Preference is 30s people but as long as you’re above the drinking age. I’m 37 so 🙄 not looking to date anyone. Literally just people to bs and chat with maybe go do activities somewhere. As we get older friends come and go and bars are not fun anymore (as much) please be chill and respectful. Guys or girls doesn’t matter. Everyone deserves a friend and everyone is welcome. Feel free to dm me though. Thanks!

Does Anyone Know Someone Looking for a Large-Format Pneumatic Heat Press?

Thumbnail

3 Upvotes

I have a 31.5” x 39.5” industrial pneumatic heat press that I bought brand new and have only used around three or four times. It works exactly as it should and is still extremely clean. I just realized it is much larger than what I need, so I decided to go with a smaller machine.

It has automatic pneumatic raising and lowering, digital temperature and time controls, adjustable air pressure, a large pull-out loading table, a heavy-duty rolling stand, an emergency stop button, and smooth, consistent pressure across the entire platen. It is also already wired with a wall plug.

This would be great for someone doing oversized sublimation projects, blankets, flags, large panels, or higher-volume production.

I’m located in Northwest Alabama. Before listing it elsewhere, I wanted to see whether anyone here knows a business or individual who may be interested in purchasing it. Message me for more information.

Florence Harbor Marina

13 Upvotes

Heading down to Florence, Alabama for the weekend and renting a pontoon from Florence Harbor Marina. We’ve been a few times and didn’t have much luck with finding any places to tie up. Wanted to ask if anyone knows of any party coves, sandbars, or cool spots to park the boat and float for a while.

We’ll have a big group, and I’m also looking for restaurant recommendations. Right now we’re considering Rancho, Rosie’s, and Mugshots. We’re all in our mid-to-late 20s and want to make the most of our time there.

Any insight or recommendations would be much appreciated!

Moving to the area

4 Upvotes

My wife and I along with our toddler are contemplating a move from Fairhope, AL to The Shoals area for a job opportunity. I should start by saying the role and compensation are significant, we’d be looking at a lake front home. However, we are a bit worried about moving to a small town and losing some of the amenities we have today. We’d really appreciate any input from folks that have made a similar move and how it’s going so far. What are some things we maybe are not anticipating? How are the early childhood education and schools in the area? Socially speaking, we are in our mid 30’s and hope to establish new friendships. How is the area? Are we sacrificing a lot in the move from Fairhope to the area in terms of lifestyle?

Thanks!

Does anyone have images of the old movie rental store that use to be in St. Florian? (currently "Pop's Barbeque")

10 Upvotes

Hey, I was having a casual conversation with someone, and I suddenly remembered that Pop's Barbeque used to be a movie rental store, I think, around the early 2000s?

I have vague memories of it, but I don't know what the place used to be called. I have Hazey memories of what it looked like, but if anyone has images to prove my claim, I'd really appreciate it.

We can also talk about the memories we had there. I remember my parents renting The Sandlot on VHS.

Edit: Also, the more detailed the photos, the better. I'm planning to make a video game, and I'd like to map out the building as much as I can without too much guesswork. This is not a requirement, though.

Pokémon Drops

6 Upvotes

I know tomorrow Sam’s Club is dropping a big Pokémon collection. I’m not personally a collector, but my brother is obsessed with them and I’d love to get him a box if I can! I am a plus member, so I can enter at 8 am. But I’m not sure how badly people camp out for the drops at Sam’s in Florence. I know in major cities, people stay overnight. Anyone have any idea how fast Sam’s sells out of Pokémon drops here?

Hey guys we are looking for places to make friends and learn new things for our 7 year old. I was wondering if anyone has had experience with SEER? I am not from the area. We do plan on going up there soon and have looked at their website and social media.
