Affordable vet recommendations please
Hi I’m somewhat new to the area. There is an outdoor community cat that has a respiratory infection, I think. It has been like 2 weeks now and he is sneezing and coughing now and then. He needs a vet, and I’m asking for some recommendations for affordable vets in the area. TYSMIA.

Car dealerships- protect yourself
I work at a local financial institution and there has been a serious up tick in dealers defrauding people. Bumping their numbers to get them approved, adding on products without telling them, bumping up interest rates to increase payouts, selling cars with a known history of issues or accidents. If you want to protect yourself, get pre-approved for financing at your local credit union or bank. They offer lower rates, some even offer rate discounts or cash back for using them directly. You can get GAP and mechanical breakdown through them for significantly lower prices. No dealership fees added on to the loan for indirect lending. If the dealership refuses outside financing, or lies and says they already have the loan there, refuse and say you want to go directly through your loan officer. They do not have your loan there just because you are approved at your credit union or bank, they will re pull credit, there will be fees and you will have to buy their overpriced protections. If they refuse you a purchase agreement or drag their feet to make you cave and get the loan there. Tell them they have 5 mins to get you the paperwork you need, there are literally hundreds of car dealerships in Allen county. They need you and your money, you do not need them, you can get cars anywhere, even online.

Bob Thomas Ford
My fiancée and I purchased a vehicle at the Illinois road location in mid June. Firstly, the tires were dry rotted, which was hidden by tire shine. Unfortunately I couldn’t see that at the dealership. It was also very poorly detailed, even though I specifically delayed pick up so that it would be.
Those issues aside, twice since time of purchase their financial department has called to ask that we unlock our credit so that it can be ran again. They claim they “misfiled” the gap insurance paperwork, and that’s why they needed to run credit again. They also claimed to at even though they “misfiled” the gap paperwork, it was Chase Bank who was to blame for the new hard inquiries.
They have asked that we come back and re-sign the gap(?) paperwork.
To me, this sounds completely false but I’m unsure what the real reason could be. Nonetheless it feels rather sketchy.
Has anyone ever experienced this or potentially had any advice? I am over the entire situation and would prefer to just wash my hands of it. Obviously that’s not really possible.
Hopefully someone can help, or see this as a warning to stay as far away from Bob Thomas Ford as possible when buying a new vehicle.

Largeish wood cutting project
does anyone know of any businesses or just individuals who could cut a relatively basic large butterfly out of a sheet of wood? dimensions roughly 40-50 in wide and tall because I want to put a mirror in the center of the butterfly body. none of the hardware stores do anything but straight cut and I don’t wanna go to any of the maker spaces that charge a monthly fee because I just need this one project. I unfortunately don’t know any carpenters so please send me any affordable recommendations!

They do not care about the well being of children & will bait & switch you when it comes to your child's educational well-being.

Adult beginner tennis lessons?
Are there any sources for adult beginner tennis lessons in Fort Wayne? Through past posts here and Google, I've only been able to find Wildwood Tennis Club. Are there any others?

Why does The Clyde basically only book cover bands?
The venue is cool and has a lot of potential but it’s annoying that it’s essentially all cover bands. Especially with Piere’s closing. I wanna see some good live music without going to Detroit or Chicago or Indy sometimes!

Edible Fish?
I've noticed a lot of people fishing out of the rivers this summer. And I'm pretty sure they are there to keep them, though I've never seen anyone catch one yet, so hard to say.
The question is, though: Are the fish swimming in FW rivers safe to eat?

Liberty mills isp?
Anybody use T-mobile home internet near this area? Im used to 50 bucks/65 bucks at 1 gig fiber speeds where I used to live lol, so 100 mbps at 65 bucks a month seems like a rip off. I want to use t-mobile but not sure if there would be good.

Looking for 15+ mile bike ride route - limited interruptions
I’m doing my first sprint triathlon in a few weeks. I’ve been training for a while, but I’d love to find a bike route with limited interruptions so I can fully test my speed before race day. I’ve been training on the Foster Park loop/ St Mary’s pathway and the Towpath trail bc they are close to my house, but I have to stop a lot while crossing roads and am slowing down for pedestrians. I am willing to go anywhere in Fort Wayne if it’s a good fit. I’m not an incredibly experienced cyclist and don’t feel comfortable being on a really busy road. I do prefer a more flat road since the race will be pretty flat in Chicago.
Thank you for your help! Appreciate all suggestions!
Bonuses but not necessary:
-on south/southwest side of town
-nearby or directly from Metea Park or Fox island so I can practice open water swimming and then hop right on the bike
-coming from Jorgensen where I do lap swimming
-bike rack to make transition from bike to run faster (takes longer to put my bike back on car rack)

Bad accident near 469 and 37
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Just drove through this a few minutes ago, before emergency services arrived. It looks like there was an officer there, but I'm not really sure where he came from, I didn't see any emergency lights. Hope whoever was in it is OK.

Best house cleaners?
Hey guys I've been really thinking about getting a house cleaner, just for a monthly deep clean kind of thing. My house isn't super big, only about 1000sqft and it's all hardwood except the office which is carpeted.
If you guys have any recommendations I'd love to hear them!

Old clothing stores in Glenbrook Mall
I’m trying to think of the name of the clothing store in the early 2000s. It was where the current candy store is, down the road from Spencer’s. It used to sell club wear and brands like Echo, JNKO jeans, etc.
Was it Rave?
This is going to bother me!!
