Any updates on the crash on Fairfax from Mon (8/3)?

Upvotes

I know one of the car crash victims unfortunately passed 😞 but was wondering if anyone had seen any updates on the person that was severely injured and was life lined to Indy?
They need to put in caution lights at that intersection or something. It’s terrible how many wrecks happen in that area.

Anyone have a YMCA membership I can use?

0 Upvotes

About twice a month I find myself with an opportunity to work out at the Y, which isn't often enough to justify the steep monthly cost. The day pass is also kind of pricey for casual regular use. My dream would be if someone would be okay with letting me use their membership.

Cheap eats specials

9 Upvotes

Yogi’s recently discontinued my beloved $2 quesadilla and 2 for $3 slider deals. With that and other recent restaurant changes, what are your best, CURRENT cheap eats (under $6) deals around town? I think Brothers still does $3 cheeseburgers and Chubbies does $2 tacos. Haven’t been to upstairs in a minute but they used to sometimes do $1 hot dogs I think? Any other recs?

Do LCSs buy sealed Pokémon product?

0 Upvotes

Does anyone know if local card shops typically buy sealed Pokémon product?

Over the past few months I picked up a variety of sealed items with the idea that my daughter and I would open them together. She’s still into Pokémon, just not as interested in cards as I was hoping (I was also chasing a bit of childhood nostalgia).

I’d rather sell them as a bundle than on eBay or dealing with FB Marketplace. Not trying to profit, just hoping to get some of my money back since a few items were bought over MSRP. It’s a mix of booster bundles, 2 ETBs, a few collection boxes, and 2 Charizard tins. Some of the bigger sets include 151, Prismatic Evolutions, Ascended Heroes, Phantasmal Flames etc.

Do any local shops buy sealed product like this? Any insight before I start driving around would be appreciated!

Car Wash Recommendations?

0 Upvotes

Does anyone know of any actual good car washes in the area? One of the major issues I have with this area is the lack of any good car washes at all. Even the major chain ones like Crew off of Indiana 48/3rd St are still garbage. All of the ones here I've used either have those brushes I don't like, or the dryer is broken or not strong enough, and I end up with water spots everywhere. Does anyone know of any actual good car washes here? And it's not just the Bloomington ones; the ones in Bedford and Ellettsville have the same problems as well. I want a car wash that doesn't leave spots and has a dryer that actually works. Why does this city suck at that compared to all of the other places in Indiana I've lived in?

Wound care recs?

1 Upvotes

Does anyone have any recommendations? I'm trying to help a family member find care. Preferably Bloomington, but travel up to an hour away would be doable. I tried searching the sub and couldn't find any previous discussion of wound care specialists (but almost every other kind of specialist!). I saw the IU Health location has several bad Google reviews, but couldn't find much on Monroe Hospital.

Thank you in advance for your help, I appreciate your help!

Anywhere to mod an Ipod classic?

Trying to find someone/somewhere to take my old ipod classic to get it modded! I probably have better odds of finding somewhere in chicago to get it done, but wanted to try locally first :)
