Thought on North Central Michigan College

Hey everyone. I am interested in North Central Michigan College since they have a program I like.
How is the college? Any experience or things/advice to share about the college?

I’ve driven through Petoskey a few times, so I know the area a little bit. (I live Downstate).

I love the outdoors, is there any cool nature stuff to do that is away from the tourists and more off the beaten path? I know there’s a nature preserve next to campus.

thanks!

Looking for last minute photographer if possible!

Hey guys! My partner and I are getting married at the courthouse on Friday (5/17) at 230 PM. We were hoping to maybe get a handful of professional-ish pictures done to commemorate the event. Obviously it's kind of a shot in the dark, but since it's probably only an hour or so we were seeing if we could get lucky and find someone last minute. Fingers crossed!

Thank you!

Uber/Lyft

Hey everyone

We have people regularly running DoorDash and Instacart, but the Uber/Lyft pool is nearly nonexistent despite those being “available” here.

Just curious why that is… seems like it could be pretty busy and lucrative at least in the summer months. Is it too many long distance one ways (like Harbor Springs to Bay Harbor and vice versa) that discourages drivers or something?

Anyone have any firsthand knowledge? Thanks!

I know daycare is ROUGH in this area. I’m paying nearly 2,250 a month for my two kids to go to Blackbird. What are y’all seeing out there for pricing? Because I’m being bled dry lol

Living in Bay Harbor

Can anyone speak to living in Bay Harbor. I’m considering moving to area for retirement but my wife and I don’t know anyone. We both love golf so BH seems like a good option.

Most houses require you to be apart of Bay Harbor Yacht Club and it’s not cheap. But it appears there are a lot of activities that would allow us to meet new friends

Any feedback on living in Bay Harbor?

Best place to sit and do computer work after 5?

I just moved here, and I have an internship that ends at 5pm each day. I am also writing research all semester, so where are the best places I can sit and work outside of my apartment for a few hours?

I’ve noticed most of the coffee shops are closed by 6, so that’s not really enough time to get into anything. Back where I moved from I had a bar that I would sit at, but that wasn’t super strange for the atmosphere of the place.

I’m open to suggestions! Thanks in advance.

So the police stopped a car and spotted meth and other narcotics. First random drug bust this year. So glad the drug problem is getting smaller, yes ?
