South Bend Giant Halloween decorations stolen from Twyckenham Hills

Not my story, copied from nextdoor,com

Calisa Doll-Jones

Hi, friends. This is a community post. Last night, we were robbed of our outdoor giant Halloween decorations. We live in South Bend, IN, but on a side road in an older neighborhood on the edge of the city. Some people very carefully stole Inferno Man's head and BOTH of our new-to-us pumpkin ladies. I am posting this out of anger and sadness for society.

Inferno Man is 12 feet tall. The ladies are each six feet tall. It took a great deal of work to steal these items. You can see that these were all very strongly tethered to the ground and were literally screwed into the earth to keep them in place. We also have a Ring Camera and a tracker on Inferno Man. This goes beyond a funny prank. It is a crime. These items were expensive and can't be replaced. They will not be replaced. Michael and I put these up every year for the kids in our community, and for my love of Halloween. People stop and take pics with them, and one year a little boy dressed as Inferno Man as his costume because he loved him so much. Last year, I made Michael his own Inferno Man costume because we love him so much. We live near an elementary school in a quiet neighborhood. Some idiots ruined it for everyone.

Yes, I filed a police report. Yes, we took all of the measures to keep them safe in our yard. Yes, the remaining pieces have been put away so they can't come and steal the rest. And yes, I will be posting this in all of the local social media areas.

I am offering a cash reward for the return of these items, no questions asked. I can be contacted through messenger if someone would like to return them to us.

South Bend Bringing the WILDWOOD: Fan First Screening to Movies 14 (October 19)

8 Upvotes

Just made a call to request the Wildwood early screening in South Bend, and you can do the same by calling (800) 246-3627! Sharing in case anyone else is interested, right now the nearest pre-screening event is Noblesville. We've been looking forward to it for years. We would love to attend the early screening, but worst case we'll wait a few more days.

May not work, but on the phone they told me Iron Lung only made it here at all because of people calling in, so it's worked before!

Have some out of town friends visiting me in SB. Thinking of taking them to the Michigan shore, and then into a town for some lunch or early dinner. But then wondered if because we are past main season, if things will still be open. Thanks!

Ear/nose piercing

0 Upvotes

I am looking to get my nose pierced and add ear piercings. I want to just get a kit and do it myself to save money, but that feels ill-advised. Is there any place y'all would recommend that doesn't charge an arm and a leg for the jewelry or allows me to bring my own? Or any home piercers willing to work with me?

What can we do when we feel powerless? - Join us for Philosophy Club

20 Upvotes

With the midterm elections approaching, I've been thinking a lot about what it means to have power in our own lives, especially when important decisions are being made that affect us, but there doesn't seem to be much we can do about them.

I suspect I'm not the only person wrestling with this!

So for this month's Philosophy Club, we're exploring the question: What can we do when we feel powerless?

We'll draw on different philosophical perspectives to explore what it means to have power, the difference between acceptance and resignation, and how we might act meaningfully even when we can't control the outcome.

As always, this is an opportunity to think through some of life's big questions together. You don't need any background in philosophy, and you certainly don't need to have the answers!

When: Monday, October 19, at 6:30 PM
Where: Classroom C in the Community Learning Center at the downtown South Bend library

Philosophy Club is free and open to everyone. Come think with us!

People of praise - thoughts?

11 Upvotes

So I’m somewhat new to SB and throughout my journey of meeting people here have met several who have tried to tell me to join a church (I don’t really associate with a specified religion but do enjoy going to masses/spiritual gatherings) and have heard a ‘people of praise‘ group brought up a lot. after looking into it some I have found mostly articles about Amy coney Barrett, but also lots of references to it as a cult. From the people I’ve met personally the things I have taken away are that it’s a hyperconservative mostly catholic group. (?) The aforementioned People I have met are not ones I would especially like to associate with (because of the previously mentioned hyperconsteravtism) but am still curious to find more out about what the specific practices are! and if there are any people who might’ve left the group either recently or a long time ago.

Winter gear recs?

10 Upvotes

Hello. What shoes do I need for walking around in the city in the ice and snow? I am a Californian originally and have never been very happy with any winter gear I have found. I have some Croc boots but they are really hard to get on and off and leave me with blisters if I go more than a short distance. I walk at least 4 miles most days. Insulated Muck boots have been recommended to me. Is that what I need? How about a coat? Do I need a long wool one? Recs for gloves and any other gear are welcome. Thanks!

South Bend Looking for potential roommates in South bend!

11 Upvotes

Hii!!

I'm looking for a new place for sometime in January/February and was seeing if anyone else was interested!

My budget is kinda in the air due to possible promotion so I'm just looking for interested rn.

I'm 20 Non-binary (They/them) and AFAB if that's relevant to anyone. I would prefer a women/AFAB roommate.

I'm super extroverted and love people. I think I'm pretty easy to get along with, and would prefer someone who also interested in actually being friends.

I'm untreated ADHD so I can be messy in my personal space but I value keeping shared spaces clean.

I don't have any animals RN but I work at a shelter and would love to bring home a cat one day! I would be totally okay with any animals.

Shoot me a message if you're looking for something around the same time!!
