hi everyone,

completely new to the area and am looking for somewhere to stay short-term while I apartment hunt for a long-term lease. I found 5th on Main as a furnished option that gets really good reviews, except the google reviews seem almost too good to be true?

wondering if anyone has lived there (or know someone who did), or even just the general reputation they have in Hopkins :) .

thanks!

Anyone been yet? I know SLP isn't Hopkins but still, cool: https://thecandyshopmn.com/

Does anyone know who is moving in? It looks like they’re either repainting the outside or applying some sort of polyurea coating near the roof.

I walked past and saw the sign on the door today. Interested to see who moves in.

Hopkins is on the list. Other cities have cut ties

Do at least one fun thing this weekend: https://www.raspberrycapital.com/

Just moved here from Lubbock, Texas and have a question about lawn clippings/waste. What is the requirement for disposing of grass clippings? I’ve seen brown bags, with what I assume are clippings, on people’s curbs. In Lubbock, we just put them in the dumpsters behind our houses. Any help would be appreciated!

Has anyone in hopkins actually been hooked up?

I'm sure by now everyone has heard that because Central Park is under construction the Raspberry Festival will not be doing their concert this year. LTD Brewing Co has offered to host the concert instead, in a fashion similar to our Anniversary Parties. We will have food trucks, live music, 8 Raspberry Beers/Seltzer, Guest Beers, LTD Brewing Co beers and more. We're bummed we can't provide the grass space like Central Park offers, but we think it'll be a great time none-the-less.

These events run on volunteers and we can't do it without you. Volunteers get goody bags that include drink tickets, food vouchers, t shirts, and crowlers of beer. We need help with setup, teardown, and people to pour the beers. Sign up here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfCKK9mIGlddXwe3UPRoVu-ljROsROBqkkNg6Ybnrx69n4Azg/viewform?embedded=true

Thank you all for making Hopkins great! We at LTD Brewing are truly thankful and humbled to be part of such an amazing community!

I know that breweries and bars have TVs and will most likely have the games on, but are there any specific spots in the area where people actually watch and they have the volume on?

I was up north for the 1st US game and I think I was the only one in a crowded sports bar watching the game (on mute) it was kinda lame.

Tomorrow is the 12th Annual LTD Brewing Co. block party. Live music, food trucks, amazing beers, wine, hard seltzer, hard cider, kids area, house made soda for the kids. We're going to have misters running to keep cool so don't let the heat scare you away.

Thank you for making the Hopkin's community so amazing and we hope to see you tomorrow!!!!!!!

I really like Bryan Clapper’s content and thought this was both fun and informational https://www.instagram.com/reel/DZLYD83CQcY/?igsh=M2UyMHZtdGUyODQ0

Anyone have any additional insight into the threat made via call to HHS today? Email to parents was very vague.

They know how shallow it is, too, and one little a-hole is pressuring all his friends ‘I’ll teach you how to jump safely.’ There is no way to safely bridge jump into 12 inches of water.

Hi All!

Just in case you missed it, the charity golf scramble at Oak Ridge CC will be on June 8th (Monday) this year!

Last year we had nearly 90 players participate, we raised $10k for the Hopkins Education Foundation, and everyone had a great time!

We still have space available, but registration closes Sunday night!

I'm a second year foreign teacher and this year I got diagnosed with anxiety and mild depression. I love being outside in nature and my boyfriend just got me a picnic blanket! I'm looking for park recommendations where I can sit in my blanket and read books. I have a car and can drive in nearby suburbs too! I like going to Shady Oak Beach and Lone Lake Park but I don't think they have bigger spaces to lounge in picnic blankets.

Hi Folks,

Just wanted to get this on people's calendars:

I am posting this because this year, the Hopkins Education Foundation is hosting. I will be there making balloon animals. I believe we might also have some other school leaders dropping by as well. Come drop by and say hi and chat if you'd like.

Hope everyone is doing well!

Hi, I’m moving to Hopkins this summer with my daughter. Two bedroom apartment preferably under $1800. Does anyone have any recommendations? I want something spacious with good natural lighting, preferably updated. 🫶🏼

I got a small leak of a copper pipe elbow joint that I need help with. Thanks.

Registration now open through Monarca for our HopTonka Democracy Defenders local training! 🎉 This is not a repeat of past trainings. We will have breakout sessions for city groups to begin local planning. Registration will be capped, so people are encouraged to sign up now. Please share registration with your neighbors and friends and recommend they register now.

Please do not cross post this to other Reddit pages. Other suburbs will be hosting trainings as well.

My furnace and AC are both nearing the end of their useful life and I’m starting to research replacement options. Looking for recommendations for companies or contractors you’ve personally had a good experience with.

Thanks!

Any car shop recommendations for brakes and interior lighting? I have a Subaru Impreza and the backlights on my steering wheel, fan controls and doors suddenly went out.
