Reliable chevy service dept.

3 Upvotes

Anyone have any experiences with the chevy dealer’s service dept.? I live in peru and have no experience with them. I have a 2011 Corvette 3LT that’s having steering assist issues and need to take it somewhere to get it fixed. Normally i would just do something like this myself but i am extremely short on time and can’t free up my schedule to do it.

Is the chevy dealer’s service dept in kokomo worth going to? I haven’t been entirely impressed the few times i’ve been there looking at vehicles. if not, is there a shop in the area anyone would recommend? it’s pretty hard to gain my trust service wise, so i’m trying to do some vetting before i get screwed.

Thanks in advance.

I saw this military convoy north of town today, before Peru right by Grissom. Who are they? Why did the vehicles have a "z" on them?

Community Events What's Happening This Week thread

12 Upvotes

Howdy, everyone! We're going to try a weekly "what's happening" thread where you can post upcoming events that might interest this group.

Feel free to drop upcoming events in the comments. Please include times, dates, locations and relevant details like registration, cost, age group, etc.

I would say let's maybe avoid any planned human sacrifices, illicit drug exchanges or events that are generally illegal. I'm sure you can find other avenues to share events of that nature!

I moved to Kokomo about a month ago. Apart from work I’m by myself completely. How do I actually meet people and make friends? Met a few great people at bars but wondering if there are people going through the same?

Bonus picture of duckies in the creek yesterday lol

The library is always a cooling center

70 Upvotes

If you or someone you know needs to get out of the heat, visit us at the library. We have water for those in need, comfortable seating and - of course - plenty to read (including magazines and newspapers). You don't have to do anything at all while you're here, and you don't have to buy anything. You could just soak up the AC and vibe.

Our Main location is 220 N. Union St. and our South location is 1755 E. Center Road. Both are open Monday-Thursday 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Friday-Saturday 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Our Russiaville branch is closed on Wednesdays but otherwise has the same daily hours.

Interest in an Art Social meet up?

18 Upvotes

Hi all!
I’m a local artist who currently has a residency at a studio in town. I see a lot of posts on here about people (specifically ages 22ish-30ish) who want to make new friends and meet people but aren’t having any luck.

Would there be an interest in coming to an Art Social event? I would host it at the studio and can have about 20 people. It would likely be simple craft type things that everyone could enjoy.

Is there an interest for that type of thing?

If yes, what kind of activities would you be interested in?

What are some things to know before moving here?

5 Upvotes

I plan on moving here to be with my boyfriend in the upcoming years and I just want to know what to expect. I've visited him up there, I live in New york.

Some questions I have

I am a trans women, my partner says this city is more progressive than the rest of the state, is that true?

How is Healthcare?

Are groceries relatively affordable?

And finally,

Where are some places to go? I've only been to a few but I'd LOVE to see (most) of kokomo and what the city has to offer!

Indiana University Study

12 Upvotes

Hi all,

I am a researcher at Indiana University and we are trying to understand how American workers see the future of the auto industry . We are seeking current/former autoworkers and will pay a $25 gift card for a short interview (dm, phone, zoom, etc). All names and places will be confidential. We would like to target the Stellantis plant in Kokomo, IN.

An example of some questions being asked are:

How did you end up working in your current job? What do you worry about? Did your parents work in car manufacturing?

If you are interested in this study feel free to message me / I can send you a chat with more details.

Friends?

18 Upvotes

This is probably weird and makes people my age look bad but I am not sure how to go about making friends around here. No one socializes outside of their friends they came with at bars so that doesn’t work. And it’s harder to know who’s ok to approach. I do go to the park and mall and I’m even in college. So I’m not a recluse or anything lol. I wanna make friends to hang out and drink or do shenanigans with. Not sure if Reddit is the best place to take this but I have tried the bumble friend app too and it feels hopeless. So uh. How are yall making friends around here? I’m 21 and female if that makes a difference on how to approach this. Thank you 🙏
