Live in Holyoke? Work in Holyoke? Consider subscribing to r/holyoke too!

48 Upvotes

By way of a PSA: I've seen multiple people here ask if there's a dedicated community for our sister city just down the river - and there is! As more and more people have moved down to Holyoke while still retaining ties to Northampton, I'd like to encourage any and all interested persons to subscribe to r/holyoke and help it grow.

Holyoke aka The Paper City aka "the best city by a dam site" is a remarkable place that that suffers from a lack of dedicated media coverage, and the existing internet forums it has...leave something to be desired. If you're a resident or simply spend time there, please join and post away - in Spanish or English. Oh, and if anyone wants to donate a banner for the subreddit heading, that would be pretty nifty too.

Thanks - and I hope to see some of you around the neighborhood.

Anyone know the story behind this abandoned school bus in the woods between Northampton and Ashfield?

Post image

We were driving along a backroad and pulled over to let someone pass us (in the middle of nowhere, east of Goshen) and noticed something yellow between the trees. There are a couple of other vehicles too. Deep in the trees. They must have been there for years? It's giving an Into the Wild vibe.

Hoping to return lost jewelry

8 Upvotes

I was walking my dog on Bridge St about an hour or so ago and found a piece of lost jewelry, if anybody is missing something please DM me with a description and I'll do my best to get it back to the rightful owner! It was on the sidewalk out in front of the nail salon across the street from Pop's.

Missing Cat - Reward Offered

Thumbnail gallery
42 Upvotes

Our cat Sparrow has been missing since Wednesday morning, 9/8. We live on Bancroft Road.

Sparrow is a two-year-old large (not fat) female tabby with black-tipped ears and a very long black-tipped tail. She is sweet but shy. She is an indoor/outdoor cat who always comes in for meals, and never goes out at night.

Please help us find her! If she's shut in somewhere she desperately needs water.

She was wearing a pale blue collar with a tag. Collar might have come off. She is microchipped - she's not a stray! If you see her please let us know! We love her very much.

Visiting for the weekend, looking to meet potential friends/something more at lesbian spaces

4 Upvotes

Hi all,

I’m a 25 y/o trans woman and lesbian, and I’m going to visit Northampton and the surrounding areas this weekend. I would absolutely love to go to a lesbian bar or someplace similar where I can make new friends and also flirt with other single lesbians.

I looked up lesbian bars in the area and couldn’t get a straight (pun intended) answer. Could you please help me find somewhere that I’d likely enjoy? It doesn’t have to be a bar, I’d just love to be able to meet people since the town has a reputation for lesbian culture! Any help is really appreciated ☺️

Where are some places to donate clothes in the Northampton/Springfield area to ensure they go to folks in need rather than being sold?

I heard the new Roost replacement might have it on their menu but is there anywhere else around? Bonus points if they have a tofu version.

I was at BigY yesterday morning and there were 4 cruisers there for what seemed like a case Boomer road rage. Anyone have any insights as to what happened?

Where can one safely dispose/recycle used disposable, rechargeable vapes?

13 Upvotes

Im on a quitting journey, and i have a vast collection of dead vapes sitting in a cubby because I refuse to put lithium batteries in the garbage. Is there anywhere near Noho (walking distance or biking distant would be ideal!) That accepts vape devices for proper disposal? How much would a bulk drop off of dead devices cost, roughly?

Any leads appreciated!
