I drive the entire length of Wadsworth every day and it kills me how many lights there are, Wadsworth should be a road, not a stroad - it's parking lot avenue as it stands, none of services along Wadsworth are accessible to the neighborhoods directly adjacent to them. Arvada could do a lot more to increase accessibility for cyclists and pedestrians, despite having made great strides in recent years.

Hey all, I'm an out-of-towner considering a move to the Denver area. I'm 29, female, queer, very into the outdoors, less into nightlife but appreciate a good coffee shop/bar/restaurant/etc.

What is the general vibe of Arvada? Would you recommend it?

Hi all, I'm the new mod of r/Arvada and just wanted to say hello!

Since we all live in Arvada I want this sub to become a place where we can talk seriously about issues facing the community or laugh about our inside jokes. To that end please avoid advertising your business or pet project here, but feel free to ask for feedback from the community.

If you have any ideas for rules we should have or community engagement with this subreddit please let me know, I can use all the help I can get.

See you out there!

Hello everyone!

I’m a genealogist & I am trained in discovering local Colorado family lineages and stories through historical records.

LINK TO INTEREST FORM: Family History Interest Form

This is the interest form I put together for anyone interested in learning more about their Colorado family history. I research & create family trees, historical road trip itineraries, ancestral maps, etc! It’s a super cool way to connect with your own history and great knowledge pass down to future generations.

Here are some things you can discover from my research:

• Newspaper articles about your ancestors (Crime? Scandal? Who knows!)

• Your great-great-great grandparents’ names

• Physical descriptions of your ancestors from census records and war draft cards

• Six full generations back of your family tree

• Photographs of your ancestors you have never seen before (Found in Newspaper archives, I have subscriptions)

If you are interested, please view the interest form at the top with some examples. 🙂Instagram w/ reviews: heritage.hunters

If you have any questions, please feel free to send me a message! For those of you with ancestry outside of Colorado, please send me a message. I’d be happy to help you or direct you to a better suited genealogist. Thanks!

Hello! I moved to Arvada earlier this year and am looking to get more involved in the community. I've been looking into art classes, yoga, wellness groups/mental health related stuff. Anything to get me out of the house! Any ideas or groups people would suggest for evenings or weekends?

Howdy neighbors! I know everyone is abuzz with the fireball from this morning after 4am, but my wife and I saw a brilliant fireball that showered sparks as it fell facing south from Ralston and Kipling at about 8:40pm. I was wondering if anyone with a door or other cam happened to get a shot of it?

Hey Arvada folks- we just adopted a little terrier mix over the weekend and the worst happened. As I was opening up the door to turn on the sprinkler this morning, he slipped out and bolted.

He’s a three legged fox terrier mix, 25ish lbs and responds to Little Man. He’s super skiddish and was last seen around 80th and Wadsworth (near the King Soopers). Wearing a purple collar and chipped.

Animal control and non-emergency policy line are aware and looking and we’ve had a search party out since 8:30am. Please let me know if you see him!

Did anyone get video of the wedding party fight outside of Gallery 1874? Arvada you are poppin' off tonight...

We get it, you think someone is stealing your nudes and the police wont do anything about it.

The simplest answer is usually the right one. You've gone to multiple authorities with your story and they all say you need some evidence. You have none. Maybe it never happened, maybe it's all in your head.

Based on what your posting you sound seriously deranged. Please, get some help from a mental health professional, I'm worried about you.

All the best,

A Friend in Arvada

A newcomer has arrived and is looking for a place to rent. What are the best ways to find listings of rooms to rent, apartments, studios, etc. maybe even in the neighboring cities. Anyones help is much appreciated.

Does anyone remember the name of an old Mexican restaurant that used to be where the TCF bank at 80th and Wadsworth currently is? They had a nifty tortilla machine near the entrance that I remembered out of the blue but I can't remember the dang name of the restaurant. It closed around 2003 so a way-back throwback but thanks in advance!

Hey Arvada,

I’m trying to get my hands on free wood pallets. I’ve been asking at some of the local businesses I frequent but no luck so far.

If you know anyone who is trying to get rid of pallets or just has a mountain of them behind their business send me a DM. I can take…. a lot of them.
