Ok, I’ve got one: where’s a good, inexpensive shop that’ll put new tires on my old (1980) Honda motorcycle without totally emptying my wallet? Nearby is best, but I might be willing to travel a bit for an exceptional deal.

+1! We went Thursday evening, and everything was great. Reminded me of Krog Bar but with cocktails instead of wine. Service was great, and the food even better! We will be back!

T_S – thanks for the background, and I agree we need to do our research, and also attend school board/SLT/PTO meetings to keep things from going too off the rails.
I lived in College Heights when the whole re-configuration was going on. I didnt have kids but it did make sense to my financial mind, that College Heights with 90 kids should not be a K-5 school. I think the ELCL is a great solution on that one. Since I didn’t have kids I didn’t pay attention too closely, except for if my house was going to zoned to WP (which would boost the value back then.)
I like when a govt actually tries to save money (see: USPS closings) rather than keeping thing open, because that’s the way ‘its always been.’ So, I was hoping the best from Phyllis and the re-configuration.
I have some opinions about 4/5th that I’ll leave go until I get more info, and I’ll def continue looking to DM for a good opinions from the citizens like you.

I heard this story on NPR this past week about Beyond Meat, which may be the vegan pretend stuff you already have.
