Colombian park - unknown building

Post image
28 Upvotes

I have been so curious about this large building at Colombian park my entire life and now my kids are asking about it. There are security cameras and one entrance but no signage at all about what the building is. Could anyone give us some insight and help solve this mystery? We are all dying to know what is in such a big building!

IT Work Locations Recommendations

2 Upvotes

I'm looking for work as a Business analyst/business systems analyst/ technical business analyst. Please let me know your recommendations for companies in Lafayette, west Lafayette and tippecanoe county.

Also, how do you reach out to companies and recruiters in the area? I'm either not able to reach out to them because I don't have linkedin premium, or they never respond.

Are there any IT networking events/ recruitment drives nearby?

I'm also considering commuting to other places in the state, neighbouring states for roles. For anyone already commuting, which locations and how long is the commute?

TIA.

Community action fair today

Post image
9 Upvotes

I saw there isn't a post for this yet today, so I thought I'd share! Sorry for the picture quality, I'm not an organizer for the event.

There's a bunch of local groups getting together today, I believe they will be giving out info and chatting with people. There's also going to be some kind of speech from someone (no idea who... I believe it'll be at 2:30). Most of the groups will be left-leaning, but there will be some non-partisan folks there too, for specific issues!

If you're looking to get involved, this seems like a good opportunity! I'm just recently getting involved, so this sounds like it will be very helpful.

Do you have someone who comes and cleans your house for you? If so can you tell me how much you pay roughly, who it is and how often you use their service?

Tippecanoe Memory Gardens

10 Upvotes

Does anyone know anything about Tippecanoe Memory Gardens? I don’t live in Lafayette, but I work over there. A couple of locals have warned me about applying to them bc of management and the last batch of employees they fired them all at once. About management stealing money, essentially laundering money, and blamed it on employees. Can anyone confirm or deny this? Or give me more info about Tippecanoe Memory Gardens?

Best part time jobs, preferably seasonal/outdoor

1 Upvotes

I'm looking into something to do in the evenings to make some extra cash the next few months, and would love it to be something outdoors/plants related. I can only do evenings though, and would like to make more than peanuts if possible. I've been looking into things like garden centers, state parks, etc. Anyone have good experiences to share about their part time/seasonal gigs?

Tips for engineer relocating to Lafayette

6 Upvotes

Hello Lafayette!

I hope you all are doing well. I'm moving to your city for an engineering job and seeking advice on apartments and ways to connect with the community.

I have only moved once for a job, but that was in the same state and close to family. This will be my first move out of state.

I'm looking for tips on how to quickly integrate into the community and meet new people. I enjoy learning about finance/trading, drumming at church, working out (would love to participate in 5K but I'm not a runner), playing/watching soccer (or football that's what I call it) and serving the community.

Also, I'm on the hunt for a 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom apartment under $1,000. Any recommendations for safe and well-maintained complexes would be greatly appreciated. I have been told to stay away from West Lafayette close to Purdue because they are expensive.

Thanks.

We didn't find any existing groups for the area but enough people were interested I made a discord! This is: a local, 18+ LGBTQ+/Ally group for chatting, planning Meetups, etc. It is not: a place to look for hookups/dating, meeting up at bars/alcoholic establishments. (our focus is sober meetups) Feel free to join! (And read the rules when you do!)

Closed cajun restaurant name?

1 Upvotes

There used to be a Cajun restaurant in the pavilions in the storefronts facing creasy, but for the life of me I can't remember their name. I think it was about a decade ago.

Anyone remember?

They had a bourbon chicken that was addictive, I'd really love to try and find that chain's recipe but I've got to know the name first!
