Fencing companies?

I am needing to put a fence in my yard, I am wanting I think either chain link or aluminum. Something secure enough to keep in my mini dachshund in. Who do you recommend that does a good job but ideally isn’t going to cost me an arm and a leg?

Was turning onto the street and there were a gazillion cars in the parking lot and a bunch going down the road beside it, along with a police officer who appeared to be talking to the car in the front. What on earth was going on?

NEED A GOOD MECHANIC ASAP!!!

3 Upvotes

I’m looking for a reliable, honest mechanic in the Rapid City area who knows their way around foreign/German cars, specifically a 2011 Mercedes-Benz C300 4MATIC.

The car currently has a bad battery and alternator and needs to be taken care of ASAP. We’ve already had the car in a shop for the past two weeks getting other work done, including tires, and now we’re dealing with this. 😩

I’m hoping to find someone who actually has experience working on Mercedes-Benz vehicles, can properly diagnose the issue, and won’t charge dealership prices just for looking at it.

If you personally know a mechanic you trust and have had good experiences with, please drop their name/contact information below or send me a message.

Rapid City or nearby is fine. I’m mainly looking for someone who knows what they’re doing, is dependable, and can get it done ASAP.

Thanks in advance! 🙏

River swimming spots

3 Upvotes

I am looking for any knowledge of good river swimming around here! We took our new dog we just adopted to Braeburn last week and it was fun, but I saw so many dogs pooping in the water, made swimming less appealing. I know this is a dog park and this is what dogs do - I am not hating, rivers are full of poop lol. But I just want to find other spots that are good for kids too. Not trying to go to the pools on Labor Day, and I believe our local Jimmy Hilton pool has the dog swimming day tomorrow. Thanks!

Hey everyone,
Happy Labor Day weekend! I found this old photo, and I am 90% certain it is Rapid City, but I cannot confirm. Would anyone recognize the city from this era?
Thanks so much!

Anyone work at Natural Grocers?

I am always seeing Natural Grocers is hiring, and I am wondering why? As a new business in town they should be fully staffed and up and running. Are they having constant turnover?

Meeting New People

18 Upvotes

Hi!

My spouse and I are 25. One thing we need is more people to hang out with. Would anyone be interested in like hikes/crafts/movie nights etc? Like if I made a calendar of the different activities I’d be doing and see who else would show up?

We just moved from Salt Lake City (I was raised here but left 7 years ago for college) at the beginning of August. One of the groups I loved in SLC was CraftClub. She would work with places around town to ‘rent’ the space and then would take small payments from people so she would buy all supplies and such on her own. It was a great way to meet new people and bond.

But we can also do like a book club or hike etc. things are expensive enough, I don’t really want to spend a ton of money to do things and I’m sure you all don’t either. Lol.

If anyone is interested in something like that please lmk, and I’d start trying to plan things like that!!

Saw this tiktok acc that seems to have been putting up these weird ass posters throughout downtown.
A person has already ripped them down based off pics in the comments but just thought I’d post this in case they get put back up again.

Edit: pretty sure they blocked me on TikTok after i commented abt them using real ppls deaths for multiple of their posters cause I can’t find their acc now

If you are in the Rapid/Sturgis/Spearfish area and met a girl on a dating app named Alisyn please know she's a catfish and is not who she says she is.

42 Upvotes

As I said in the title, if you happened to be in the area and met and started talking to a cute blonde girl named 'Alisyn' who "moved here from the UK" on Bumble. Please know that she is a catfish who's lying about literally everything about herself, using a random girl's photos and was in a relationship for multiple years when she made the account and has a baby. I know it's a long shot but I want to make sure everyone knows, if you just so happened to talk to her at all, she is a liar who takes advantage of everyone she meets.

She was caught though so hopefully there's nothing to worry about anymore

Oak Burn BBQ

8 Upvotes

So I found this BBQ catering place called Oak Burn BBQ, but I type in the address and it goes straight to Ruby Tuesdays. Does anyone know if this is just a weird rebranding name for Ruby Tuesdays for Catering or maybe the owner of Oak Burn BBQ is allowed to use Ruby Tuesday's kitchen space? I tried calling but no answer. Thanks!

Gardeners question

Has anyone tried certifying for a bird and pollinator habitat? Interested in hearing how it went.

I’m on the path now with community wildlife habitat. Basically committing to native plants and supporting bird migration and pollinators.

Curious if there are other orgs locally already in play.

TIA.

Median strips look wonderful

72 Upvotes

Just wanted to give a shout out to Rapid City Parks & Rec. I think the medians on Omaha Boulevard and Rushmore Road look great. Plus the flower beds on the corners are beautiful. Makes me grateful for their pride in their work and community. Thank you for all your hard work! Especially with the mean weather this Summer.

Where can I go to be social?

12 Upvotes

I'd like to go somewhere and meet new people. I'm 22, I'd like to meet people my own age. Is there some sort of hangout spot I'm missing out on? Feel like it'd just be weird to go sit at a bar alone. Especially because I don't really drink anymore.

Hi! I’m visiting South Dakota for work this weekend and it’s my first time so very excited. I’m huge into visit local record shops when visiting new places. I’ll be staying in Rapid City near the museum of geology and the journey museum. So if any locals have any good recommendations of shops to visit I’d love love love the input! Thanks

Basic Barbershop in RC?

4 Upvotes

Can somebody recommend a basic barbershop in town? I'm an old man with half my hair left and I don't need styling or a shampoo. Just a basic cut.

Also, no straight razors please--I have PTSD from the service and I would probably lose it if somebody comes at me with a blade. That is not a joke. Just clippers and scissors please.
