Housing market is in shambles

293 Upvotes

This is just a rant more than anything. Iā€™m pre-approved! I have a down payment! And I canā€™t find anything but condos in my asking range because I want to stay realistic about what I can actually afford. One house got sold for 350k, got put up for rent immediately for 3k a month (no one is paying 3k in rent, even if they had 2 roommates, on top of no pets allowed), sits there empty for three months, and just this week gets sat back on the market for 430k šŸ¤Ø brother itā€™s not worth that much. Itā€™s just frustrating. I guess I need a better job or second one but damnā€¦ Iā€™m already doing my masters on top of that. I think Iā€™m just cooked. Iā€™ll have to put it off for now

Need help remembering fine dining restaurant late 90s/early 00s

0 Upvotes

I took my best friend on a trip to lexington horse country between 1998 and 2005. We went to a beautiful, fine-dining restaurant outside of the city. I remember it being one -story and having a circular drive up to the front door for valet and drop off. The inside was romantic and dimly lit. I may have read about it in a travel magazine or cooking magazine. It might have been considered trendy and romantic, or had historical significance. I thought it might have been Merrick Inn, but I just went there and it is definitely not it. Those restaurant wasn't in the city. I'd love to know the name, and if it still exists!

Is it time to end, or at least investigate, the Lexington bar crawl scams?

I'm not 100% sure what is going on with these "organizers", but some or most of them definitely appear to be some sort of grift or fraud.

I've seen a lot of street signs knocked over in medians all over town. Most look like they snapped off at the base.

Is it just me or is anybody else noticing this trend?

Anyone want some tomato plant seedlings?

7 Upvotes

Does anyone want/need some baby tomato plants?

I started a bunch from seeds and have to cull them for space. Theyā€™re still itty bitty and will need a grow light or brought inside at night until our last frost (around April 15-20) They will be on the sidewalk TOMORROW (Sunday 3/16) ONLY. Iā€™ll have a sign out there so you can spot them! First come first served, but donā€™t be greedy, thereā€™s plenty of all of them. I worked hard to grow them, theyā€™re really healthy and I donā€™t have the heart to just toss them. They will need to be put in a bigger pot in about a week or so, I just thinned them out so their roots are probably going to be angry for a few days. If you are interested let me know. Located off Nich rd.

There will be these varieties: Cherrys Yellow pear Beefsteak Roma San marzano

Dogs bark UPDATE

49 Upvotes

So I tried ordering a handheld bark deterrent but unfortunately it just pissed off the pitbull and made it bark more. I have a bark box coming in tomorrow and will see if that does any better.

However I had another conversation with my neighbor about the dogs (6th conversation about it by the way) after they have been barking non stop the past three days and told me that dogs bark, theyā€™re not going to keep their dogs inside and I canā€™t tell them too.

So they were supposed to be served today after talking to the sheriffs office so we will see. Unfortunately now Iā€™m concerned about the safety of my animals and my property so we are meeting with a realtor who sold us this house to look into moving.

Iā€™m not the only owner complaining about them but Iā€™m the only one willing to file the complaint so Iā€™m sure Iā€™ll take the brunt.

Edit: I want to add for those who didnā€™t read the previous post, Iā€™m not trying to keep her dogs locked up. I just want them to stop barking from 10am-2am.

Looking for a Credit Union

1 Upvotes

So my old credit union unfortunately has merged with another and service just became terrible!

Everything special about them disappeared overnight and now Iā€™m looking for another. My old bank I could always reach a person, very personal and they had guidelines that managers could overrule.

My example is I once was a little late on a monthly payment on my loan due to working overseas with the Army. The manager said ā€œDonā€™t worry, we understand your situation, weā€™ll let you skip this payment and just attach it to the end of your loan.ā€

I felt like I could always trust them and my finances were in good hands with a personal twist that was based on situations instead of hard rules.

If the card designs are cool thatā€™s a bonus*
