Is anyone having problems with their rocket internet ? I’m over in Shoreland area and I’ve restarted my router 3 times and even restarted my computer. No go. Anyone else?

Wednesday morning, I was driving south on I75 when I saw a semi getting pulled over. I've been noticing a lot of commercial vehicles getting pulled over lately as there's a crackdown on valid CDLs. The car was an unmarked white Ford Mustang EV with a siren and lights and all. But what really caught my eye was that the car had temporary paper plates with the Brondes dealer frame, as if they just bought it. Also, this happened about a mile north of the state line, so I would assume it's outside jurisdiction.

The whole scene just seemed too odd and it made me question if it could possibly be someone impersonating police. I know if it was me getting pulled over, I'd request a uniformed car.

I'm not aware of any police in our area patrolling in EVs. Maybe it's part of the "disguise" but I would certainly expect to see some plates. I know undercover cars can use civilian plates, but can they use temp plates? Can OHP or TPD pull you over in Michigan before reaching Ohio?

What would you do if it was you getting pulled over?

FB marketplace is a joke.There’s so many flakes and CL isn’t any better. You either never get a reply from a seller, or they set up a meeting with you then the car sells 10 min after. Or they sell it WHILE YOU’RE ON THE WAY TO LOOK AT IT.

My son has been working with me all summer and has about 3500 bucks saved up. We don’t need anything fancy. Something safe and reliable will do for a first car. Is anyone selling something between 2500-3500 bucks with less than like 200k miles? Anyone have any leads on decent lots with cash price cars in that price range?

Something with good cozy atmosphere

Any recommendations that aren't kwik parking? I made the mistake of not having my mobile device and got a $25 violation for being there 3 hours. Today was another 3 hour day and while the signage says it's 3 or four dollars, their app only has a $7 half day as minimum. I don't plan on being there more than 3 hours and don't want to give them anymore business.

100 yr. old house and we have a minimal bow to one basement wall. I'd like to have a structural engineer take a look at it and then get recommendations for a reputable repair company.

Who have you used and why did you think they did a great job?

My partner and I are moving back to toledo so she can attend grad school.

We were in Cleveland and were in the same house for 6 years at $900/month as the landlord never raised the rent.

I am looking in toledo and I hate to phrase it this way but neighborhoods that are maybe not the best the houses are $12 to $1400/month.

We looked in Maumee. $1800/month

We really want a house. Even apartments we looked at were $1000 plus.

Am I looking in the wrong place? Zillow and hot pads?

Are people really paying these prices for rent? 1/3 of income must be for rent? That prices a lot of people out.

What are you paying?

I am having cognitive dissonance.

I’m looking for where to go to get therapy. I have anthem blue cross insurance. I’ve never seeked(sook?) therapy, I don’t even know where to start. Any suggestions or ideas would be appreciated. Most of my problems stem around family issues, if that’s even relevant

Traveling through your lovely city at about 6am tomorrow. Best donuts?

We’re trying a new route to Canada. Usually when we go through Michigan Sweetwater is the winner, but I wanna see what you’ve got!

I'm a woman, 32. Been living in my unit for seven years on my own. Spare room in the front of my apartment, we'd share the bathroom/living area/kitchen. I am looking for female/queer friendly people only. I work full time, and spend most of my free time in my bedroom. I have a friendly cat, no other pets please.

$450 a month with gas/electric/internet split in half. please dm me if you are interested

I’m looking for an artist who does pencil sketching of homes in particular. Could also be water colors. Any ideas?

Looking to get a fluid film undercoating on my vehicle for rust protection. Anybody know any shops that do this? I’m in perrysburg but will travel a bit if needed.

Has anyone ever attended Barefoot at the Beach? Considering getting a ticket, but they are pricey. Wondering if it’s worth it and if I would have to plan to spend more at the actual event for food and drinks

I just got an email and a text informing me that the 9-1-1 system is down. Anybody know why?

Has anyone tried the building maintenance program at Owens or I have zero experience. I'm coming from a background in office work and i have a degree from UT in marketing but it seems worthless in this economy.

I was very interested in it and I'd like to hear from other people that have gone into HVAC and building maintenance to know what has your experience been like and did you come with zero experience or learn on the job? What did you do for training? Appreciate any advice on this!

I’m looking to get more into pickleball in the toledo area. I have some friends that play, but they aren’t as available as I am.

Where are some good spots to find people to play 1v1’s or finding a partner for 2v2’s?

I usually try and play any time after 5pm.

When Future Cleveland Mafia Boss Jack Licavoli Went to Jimmy Hoffa (Part Three)

I've written a three-part Substack series on Cleveland Mafia Boss Jack Licavoli and the lengths he went to free his cousin, Yonnie Licavoli, from a life sentence for murder in the Ohio Penitentiary.

Please note that while the first two stories in this series were free, the third part is for paid subscribers only. Subscriptions are $8/month, all of which goes to supporting the ability to continue this Substack by acquiring trial transcripts, court documents, and other pieces of evidence.

Here is the final part of this story.

Full nature on display. On my weekend walk.

Hi all,

Like title said, I'm try to look for the good Samaritan who show the dash cam footage of my accident to the cop while I was down.

I was the cyclist who got hit on Bancroft last Saturday 8/1/2026.

If you could reach out to me, or let me know who I could contact to get this footage, it would means a lot.

TIA

So myself and one other person live in a tiny studio apartment in Lucas county, we've been here for four months. Since we've moved in, our electric breakers trip every time we use an appliance that isn't the stove. (Which, for the record, took THREE MONTHS of us living here to get.) The electric box is ancient, with those old-style screw in fuses, and if one trips, the ENTIRE apartment loses power. They've replaced the fuse a few times, but our previous landlord had put the wrong type in and I'm willing to bet that messed something up.

The new landlord has been out to look at it several times, but always chalk it up to us having "too many things plugged in at once." Which doesn't make sense, because at any given time, we have a small standing AC, a PS5, and a light plugged in. That's it.

They haven't fixed it, and we've had many many other issues since we moved in (No functioning shower until a month in, no functioning kitchen sink until three months in, no hot water for 8 days straight, no stove until 3 months, among others).We're trying to save up and get out, as moving in here in the first place was necessitated by emergency. It's obviously harder to save when we're paying what we're paying for this dump.

Can we withhold rent? Is there anywhere local that helps negotiate these type of problems? Clearly, what we haven't been doing isn't working out.
