I have a couple of leaky tires and had the same issues. I bought a great compressor for like $25 on Amazon. Plug it in, set the pressure, and turn it on. Takes a little longer, but it is there whenever you need it. Got tired of the guessing game on if a nozzle would be there.

I wouldn't say there is nothing to worry about, but the majority of the time, these people are just internet warriors who want to try and impress others online. You might see someone with stickers on the car or flags hanging on the front porch, but it's not like there is a mob terrorizing the city.

I'm with you there. Theaters seem to have gone to a destination "experience" rather than just a place to watch a movie on a big screen with good sound. Can't tell you the last time I went to a theater.

Loved it back in the 90s when I was in college there was the Tower theater and Fremont for $1.00-1.50. Used to go to the late show all the time, sometimes was the only person there.

Cooper is a really nice facility and if you join there, you'll have lots of options for leagues and tournaments. Not sure on regular court availability. There are several public courts around the city that rarely get used. Probably the most popular are the courts on the south side by Kickapoo HS (forget the name of the park). The school teams use them, but it is actually owned by the park board so unless they are reserved for a school event, completely open to the public and never full. 12 courts total at that location with a couple hitting boards. All in good condition.

I know nothing about the school, but as a parent of active kids that 30 minute drive will become a nightmare. Will probably be fine on a normal day, but if there is an after school activity planned, or some school performance at 7, are you willing to be driving back and forth a bunch, or just hanging out in the car waiting so you don't have to be driving back and forth? Our child goes to school 15-20 minutes away in town and even that becomes a pain in the ass.
