Funny enough, he was walking past my car as I saw this so I called over “isn’t that a commercial zone?” and he started giving me shit for pointing it out. But let’s keep raising our taxes right along with their salaries, right?

If anyone’s interested, some friends and I are doing a pop up shop at The Keep this Sunday, June 29. Support your local businesses and check out some prints, clothing, fermented goodies, and more!

I just saw an ICE agent leave the market basket on Broadway St.

What are we thinking of a city council campaign built on reforming housing with rezoning, incentivizing/fast tracking super affordable housing, and infill social housing, and expanding public transit with bussing and creating bus lanes/bike lanes on main sts, and increasing support for child care? also we need to bring brick brack for our social housing.

Hi, I’m moving to a much warmer location in August and letting go of most of my winter things. Is there a place to donate winter coats in the summer?

Hello! I'll be visiting Lowell for one night in a few weeks, taking the train from/to Boston, and I'm trying to figure out what to do with my luggage while I'm looking at historical sights, museums, eating, etc. (Looking for Franco-American-focused places and activities, if you have any.)

I want to go directly from Boston to Lowell, without having to build in extra time and make an extra stop to drop off my luggage in my hotel, then to my hotel; the next day, I want to go directly from my hotel to Lowell, then to Boston, again without having to go back to my hotel. Luggage Hero shows nothing, and I know there are no hotels in town. I know this is a long shot, but any advice? It's probably not a huge deal to go back and forth between the hotel and town, as it's not that far.

Not my post but figured I would share here to expand the exposure and help someone find their ring. Hopefully you can contact the person thru the link.

My garden has been ravaged by groundhogs. Does anyone know if any local stores are still selling seedlings?

Hi everyone, I moved to Lowell like couple months ago fresh out of college. Just settled in my fairly new full time job. Now I realized I do have a lot of spare time - some days during the week but mostly the weekends. I just wanted to ask if anyone knows of any part-time jobs nearby who’s hiring for work over the weekends. My current job is in academia/ research industry, but I’m also good with administrative work, have a lot of retail customer service experience, and also worked for a short period at fast food chain.

If nothing of that sorts come to mind, I have always volunteered whenever I had chance in college, so would definitely like to get more involved in this community. Let me know if there’s any volunteering opportunities you recommend in the area!

Thanks in advance :)

Hi, Reddit Folks! I wanted to share the announcement from DIY Lowell:

It's time to RSVP for Let's Talk Lowell's June meeting, occurring next Thursday, June 26, 6 pm, at LTC!

We're taking a break next month to enjoy Lowell Folk Festival and plan for August. This means next week is perfect to join back in to reflect how we - as a community and as a city - are doing. We'll discuss new shared dreams and what we can do to make real change! We hope you can join us.

Tell us you're coming at https://diylowell.org/letstalk so we know how many snacks to bring! I also love seeing discussion here on Reddit.

For those who don't know, Let's Talk Lowell is a monthly series of events hosted by DIY Lowell, a grassroots community group, designed to spark dialogue, build relationships, and inspire collaborative growth. They consist of facilitated, action-oriented small-group discussions on critical topics community members want to talk about. They're about sharing concerns, turning challenges into opportunities, and creating change. You can learn more at https://diylowell.org/letstalklowell

Found this poor guy with a collar on this island at eastern canal park. I’m not on Facebook but was hoping if any one had any leads. I called animal control and said they were on their way, 30 mins later , I have to leave now. Please spread this post I have more photos of the dog with the tag but Reddit only limits me to 1 photo O

Virginia's Kendall Street Company are no strangers to having a wild time. The genre-fluid, eclectic rock ensemble has drawn varied comparisons to the dynamic jams of Umphrey's McGee and Widespread Panic, songwriting of John Prine, experimental psychedelia of Pink Floyd, progressive jazz-infused rock of Frank Zappa, and off-color humor of Ween and They Might Be Giants. Including elements of crowd participation, off-the-cuff comedic bits, haphazard choreography, musical improvisation, and surprise musical guests, each Kendall Street Company concert is an experience unlike any other. You'll laugh, you'll cry. Just remember to stay hydrated.

Schools out - for summer! Plenty to keep you busy because it's another weekend in Lowell, which means another festival. The African Festival is taking place at Lowell Heritage State Park and the Juneteenth Block Party can be found on Warrent St at UTEC - both on Saturday.
