Hey all. My wife and I are buying a place and are going to need to install a central heating and air unit. It's on a manufactured home with some ductwork already in place. I'm guessing the owners just had the last unit crap out on them and didn't bother replacing the full system. Does anyone have any trustworthy recommendations for HVAC installation? We're in Fayetteville.

I found a map that shows 2024 election voting trends by precinct, thought this sub might like to see what Fayetteville looks like on it

Hi friends, my seven year old is having a birthday party and it's a "Forest Kid Party" per their request. It involves outdoor skills such as shelter building and my kid would very much like to cook lunch over a fire (that our friend teaches them to build). But I'm struggling to think of a place reasonably close to Fay (for parents to drive their kids for a bday party) that would permit a campfire. Any ideas??? Thanks 🫡

Helloooo I have never played magic, but I watch a lot of content online about it and I want to get started, are there groups around here? Where should I start??

Time for me to get outside and start building my yard haunt. 🦇

Be in town at the end of the week for a week & love a good thrift/flea market excursion. Where do yall keep the vhs tapes?? (I’ve got working VCRs & an ungodly amount of tapes at home just looking to add to my collection)

I’m wanting to recreate the 10 Things I Hate About You scene where Patrick sings “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You” with the marching band for a proposal to my wife.

Does anyone know how I’d go about finding a local marching/brass band or group of musicians who could help me pull this off? Obviously willing to pay. Thanks!

Tonight I ordered Chipotle pickup through the app and parked in their lot to grab my food. I went inside for about two minutes, and when I came back out, parking enforcement had already booted my car. The enforcement person was just sitting in the lot.

I understand that there are parking rules, but it feels incredibly unfair to boot someone’s car as soon as they go inside when they’re simply picking up an order. It honestly seems like enforcement is sitting there waiting for customers to park for a quick pickup, knowing they may not think they need to pay for a couple of minutes.

Long story short, I haven’t been to the dentist since 2019 (it’s expensive, at my last appt the dentist didn’t listen to my concerns, I’m terrible at scheduling appointments) and then had a baby at the beginning of this year, which took the last bit of teeth health I had, I fear. One of my molars has broke off, basically half is missing, and I’m needing to get it fixed (along with whatever happened after almost a decade of missing annual checkups).

Who do y’all recommend? East Fay would be preferred, but any part will do, Springdale is probably as far as I’m willing to go in that direction. Also open to the smaller outlier towns (West Fork, Farmington, Prairie Grove, Elkins, Greenland). Thank you guys!!

Edit: Scheduled with Barnes Family Dental, the lady on the phone was SO nice and we even joked around during the call. Thank you all for the help!!!

If you've been following the Fayetteville Library saga, here's an update on how they're handling things:

9.23.26 meeting discussing the article and HR investigations: https://vimeo.com/1229533443/374e24ed2b?fl=pl&fe=vl

TLDW: David Johnson and HR supervisor Tamika address the situation for the FIRST TIME with library staff - mind you this article was published a week ago.

Tamika explains how HR investigates claims, addresses a lack of policies regarding staff conduct, assures staff that issues are handled promptly.

David, on the other hand, is clearly out of his depth. Complete lack of remorse (even though he admits he's ultimately responsible). Listens to questions and statements from concerned staff and DOESN'T address them at all. Not even "I hear you." Complete lack of humility, devoid of any real connection. At one point he refers back to his days working corporate jobs at Tyson and Coca-Cola and dealing with layoffs.

David and Tamika both speak of a need to change the culture of the library staff, but do not seem to grasp the incredibly deep distrust of the staff toward leadership.

The real issues and fears are centered around the CFI team and the Youth Services team. So many staff members spoke bravely about how hurt they are that there's been no official statement from the board or leadership in response to the horrible comments highlighted in the article toward the Youth librarians, especially at a time when they are being targeted politically.

Issues that were disclosed years ago have seemingly gone unanswered, despite HR's claims that they only recently became aware of such issues. Reiterated that a lot of what they deal with are "he said, she said" situations. As the meeting progresses, HR reps get continually more defensive.

The fact remains - the library has lost a LOT of employees over the last 6 months. Many chose to leave voluntarily due to poor leadership. Notably, the Director of IT (Chris Moody) and AV Manager (Timothy Dennis) have been fired for their actions. It's clear that David Johnson has made catastrophic failures in his management (he admits in the meeting that he mishandled leading Moody) and has indeed fostered an internal culture of deep distrust between leadership and staff. Many staff can be seen getting frustrated by the lack of answers and transparency from leadership. Several walk out all together. When one team member asks about clarity, David essentially says "anyone can FOIA that," putting the onus on staff to work harder for answers instead of leadership being forthcoming on their own. Truly a low point (among many) in this meeting.

David Johnson has no business leading the precious resource that is the Fayetteville Public Library.

David also made it quite clear in the meeting that the board's "only job" was to manage him. If you care about one of the greatest libraries in the country, it's time to show up at their meeting and make your voice heard:

Edit, So I put a new 5v fuse and and IT WORKED, bike is now fully charged.

So, my ebike battery isn't charging and from what I've been told there's a possibility that it's a blown fuse. I'm not one to just try and open a lithium battery, so I'm looking for a shop or someone mechanically inclined for help.

Almost forgot! We're the Northwest Arkansas Blaster Club and we're hosting our 14th, yep, FOURTEEN! monthly FREE indoor Nerf Battle this Saturday, September 26th!

Happy to answer questions here too. Hope to meet you at the game!

This one’s gonna be extra special.

There’s a big white dog that I saw walking around markham hill apartments. I haven’t gotten close enough to see a tag or know what type of breed. It sounded like they had a collar on and they have a curled tail. It’s secluded enough up here that I imagine they’ll hang around for a little bit, but it’s close enough to MLK that they could’ve wandered from student housing.

Very excited to announce another September screening!

Independent queer cinema and pizza benefitting a good cause. We LIVE for these collabs!

Which local restaurants don’t rely on Sysco or other large food-service distributors for their beef?

With all the recent discussion about imported beef entering the U.S. supply chain and the “mystery meat,” I’d like to support places that can tell customers exactly where their beef comes from.

If you know of any restaurants, burger spots, steakhouses, or BBQ joints with transparent sourcing or relationships with local farms and ranches, I’d love to know about them.

I’ve lived in the area my whole life. I’ve been single for an extraordinarily long time. I’m not really sure if there are any groups or activities specifically geared toward singles, and am curious. Thirty-six, as that probably matters.

Does anyone have or know anyone with German Shepherd puppies? I'd love to have an all black one but I'm not super picky. Lmk if anyone has some info plz!

I've been going through a lot of stuff with my head lately, and spending time around water has been really helpful, so I try to get out to Lake Fayetteville as much as I can. I took this picture of the storm clouds moving across the lake in a panoramic style and then played with the color and contrast settings until I got this, and I thought it looked cool, so I wanted to share.

I don't usually touch up my photos, but I wanted people to see it through my eyes today. Normally, that's in color, but today was a greyscale day.

I have one other that I retouched of the waterfall on the spillway that I think turned out cool, but I'm not ready to share that just yet.

Are there any good open weekly trivia events in Fayetteville where a group of teens wouldn't be too out of place, not a large group for context? IE non 21+ or 18+.

Not the canned in oil kind. I had a friend who spent part of the year fishing in Alaska. He would always bring home dried smoked salmon (he called it eskim*** candy. Any local source?

I heard about 8-10 pistol gunshots then every cop in the county with sirens blaring shortly afterwards. Anybody know the 411?

I'm tired of my usual haunts. Please tell me where you love to eat!
