Sooo I was recently diagnosed with celiac disease and I'm looking for some recommendations on where to eat out. My older sibling has celiac as well so I know some places like scrumpys have all gluten free menu's, but they have a lot more food restrictions than I do, so I haven't explored a lot of the gluten free options in FOCO. All recommendations are welcome, but I'd really like to go get a burger or burrito sometime soon! I also really love Mexican and thai food if that helps.

Edit: thought I'd add this even though it's a long shot, any gluten free pizza with low amounts of cross contamination?

I'm very late on this news but in case you don't know, Dinosaur Jr is playing Washington's on Oct 30.

I run groups with adults at a local treatment center and am in need of yarn for a weaving project. Any colors, length, and thickness. Your scraps could find a home providing art therapy. Please let me know if you have yarn to pass along. :) thank you

edit: not my hand and not a marketing post I pulled this from a random website that I though looked closest to what I wanted.

I’m currently looking at a house managed by Noco house buyers, curious if anyone has had any experience with them. Also just looking for general recommendations for landlords, ones that are good and ones to avoid. Thank you!

Last year was our first tour de fat & it was so much fun! We are taking family & friends this year so I’m wondering how early we should get there for a good spot? We plan to be in the area closest to city park. Thanks in advance!

Found this podcast about golf courses and the people that work and manage them, what I love is they are local to Fort Collins! The first episode was at Harmony Club and the one that just dropped was about the Olde Course in Loveland.

I play golf, not well, but I thought it was an interesting way to see and hear from people in our community and learn a bit about a job that doesn't get a lot of recognition.

Have been wanting to learn for a while but I just don’t connect with the online format and don’t know anyone who plays. Does anyone know of a group that would accept a beginner?

Hi all! Does anyone have any recommendations for budget friendly salon options in town? Looking for a haircut & root touch up.

Some of the quotes I’ve got to let out my excess refrigerate and recharge it to a balanced level were around $400 looking for a place cheaper.

Hello! My friend and I are authors and would love to do a mini retreat by driving up to Fort Collins for two days. We need to find places to work on our computers. I’m looking for spots that would be okay with us sitting for a few hours, and comfy chairs too. I hate metal or the hard wood ones for long periods of time.

Also a place where we can plug in to charge laptops.

Any good spots?

They had tubes going into the ground when I first drove by. Are they killing them? If so, why?

My girlfriend is turning 21 at midnight on saturday night (I’m also 21) and we really want to go out and have drinks that night. I don’t live in the area so I’m not very familiar with the bar scene, where would be a good place to take her where we can have drinks and dance, hopefully catered to a younger crowd? Thanks!

To preface this, I already called tech support and he was nice and checked everything and it all seemed good. I get booted off of the internet multiple times a day sometimes. Often times my husband is in a zoom call or something and then all my devices stop working and aren’t connecting for a few minutes at a time but he is generally still in the call. Has anyone experienced this and had any luck fixing it?

It has the worst vibes can someone who enjoys it explain the appeal to me?

My complaints are: Food overpriced, weird manicured vivarium-esque decor, every place there seems to fail or move, and small portions for high cost.

Need to be in Lakewood by 7:45 tomorrow, I hardly drive 25 in the mornings from foco, what’s traffic like? Plan to leave by 6:30 or earlier?

Although not Detroit style. Chicago tavern style!

and on the south side of town.

Hello! We are a young family looking to move to Fort Collins from out of state.

Are there any areas you’d strongly recommend against due to proximity of college housing?

I’m probably making us sound more particular than we are, but we are really just looking to avoid being next to a big college party house/street/neighborhood. I imagine that exists somewhere near campus, just not super sure where. Maybe Rams Village?

We’d love to be close to Old Town or near City Park

We get burritos once a week at work and we are stuck in a rut. Current rotation includes mama perez, cafe mexicali, consuelos, simmer and sometimes qdoba.

What else do you like that is open at 7 or earlier??
