5.2. C. Robinson / M. Gitschier - Req. City Mgr. have the proper department provide input on a path to request the State implement criminal penalties on unlawful, improper usage of ALPRs by authorized users.

It’s been about a month since I been hearing helicopter noise especially at south Lowell now this the first time I heard it at belvidere. Maybe I’m just being paranoid but as anyone been hearing the same thing or have a clue on what’s going on?

If you haven’t seen, Boston Music Awards release their 2026 nominees, there’s some great Lowell representation this year. Yes, Taffeta Music Hall is in the best venue over 250 capacity, but Lowell Festival Foundation and Lowell Folk Fest have been recognized as well as the incredibly talented Dom The Composer. I have to imagine there are more that we aren’t aware of. Please shout out any Lowell connected nominees below and be sure to go vote! Let’s get keep growing and supporting the arts in Lowell!

Hello!

Hoping someone can point me to a local seller for a baby blanket either crochet or knit. I went to the Chelmsford farmers market yesterday looking for the woman I bought one from a little while back but she was not there.

Rehash is a shoegaze / indie rock act from Florida that's generated a good size followings. We're excited to host them tomorrow (Monday 10/19) with The Flooks and Sundots, with local act Lovewell. We know Monday's can be tough, but if you're into this type of music, this is one of those bands that you should see. You may not get to see them in a small room like ours again!

Just this entitled old white lady double parking and blocking the entire street downtown and not giving a shit if anyone is inconvenienced so she can go into the pizza place.

Was there easy on street parking within walking distance? Absolutely.

These people suck and I hope she gets the day she voted for.

Recorded this morning.

Good morning Beautiful Resisters!

Please join Indivisible Lowell as we host the 4th #NoKings Rally today at Kerouac Park from 12 -2:00 pm. No Planet B, a band with an important mission, will kickoff the rally. Next, we will hear from inspiring speakers who will encourage all of us to vote early and hep engage others. And then our favorite folk-rock, jam-band will play again.

Dress warmly, bring a chair, sign, and a friend!

Peace,

Indivisible Lowell

No Planet B has a mission: Write and perform uplifting songs that inspire people to take action on the climate and biodiversity crises. With a folk-rock, jam-band sound and whimsical tunes that encourage audience participation, the band focuses on the urgency of environmental threats, while keeping alive hope and the possibility of a better way.

According to Facebook posts they'll be on 1st Street today instead of Davidson due to an event at LMA needing the parking lot.

Avoid Fletcher if you can, LFD using hydrants there and may be blocking traffic.

I hope everyone is okay!

My best friend crocheted me this Lagiacrus plush for my birthday this year. I usually keep him on my backpack but when I got up for work this morning he wasn't there. I work in Lawrence, MA and live in Lowell and I've looked for him everywhere I can think of.

I'm really heartbroken about losing him, this is the only photo I have. I've checked the lost and found and security desk of my workplace and I have no idea where he could be if he's not here. Please DM me if you see him anywhere, this week has been so hard and I just want my little guy back.

I saw this kitty with a collar through the fence in the parking lot at riverview, its not possible to access the tracks and i was concerned about a train coming, i called non emergency after animal control didn’t pick up and they said they’d send somebody out. Hopefully if this is anyone’s missing kitty you will be reunited soon 🐾 ❤️
