Duuuude… the butter chicken pizza is so good.

Howdy, neighbor!

OM is a great community! We have awesome trails, a great group of folks who are warm, welcoming, and fun, and it’s safe. We are diverse, full of neat people (beekeepers, artists (even one that sculpts with chainsaws), chicken keepers, hot sauce divas, and that’s just a short list.

Our hood gets shade from some of the other bougie, judgy neighborhoods in Columbia, but don’t mind them. My partner grew up here, their parents lived her for 40+ years, and we bought the house from them when they retired… because this place is special.

Also echo what others say about LA Mart being awesome and Pizzaman is insane good.

Unfortunate that the only way to drive to it is the long road though. For something that's right there, too.

I live here(Autumn Crest). I like the area well enough though I hate having to drive that long road every time I want to get to the mall when its like, right next to me horizontally. I haven't felt unsafe here, and from what I gather this apartment complex is one of the better ones in this village.

you may be getting a quote of $300 for the labor. what exactly is wrong with the unit?

Columbia MD?

I live in the area you are describing. Been here 3-4 years. Love it. The trails are great. No more riff/raff than other places. Great location in Columbia. Close to 29 and Merriweather and Lake Kit. LA Mart is a good option for cheap food and Latin/Asian ingredients. I will say the village center is kind of crap though. Doesn’t have the investment in it it needs. There is a fine liquor store. But, most of the shops there are not the best In their class. That being said, best In Class options (pizza, bagels, grocery, food trucks,Chinese carryout) are easily reachable with a short drive. Overall love the area and highly recommend it.

Edit: riff/raff not riff/raft lol.

I got this tv for free from a neighboor. It is a Vizio model E70-E7. So I guess it is 70 in? Very big compared to my current tv (50 in).

I thought since I didn’t pay anything for this tv then I think it would be forth it to spend $200-300 to fix it. What do you think? Specially because all the 70-in TVs I could find were more than $400.

The issue is there are dark shadows on the screen, I believe it is top and bottom. So maybe the backlight needs to be replaced.

The website Angi quote at around $300 to fix it.

The 29 bridge will take you straight to Town Center which is a huge benefit of living in that area!

Love the Farmer's Market location there during the growing season, too!

TVs are so cheap nowadays compared to what it once was it's rarely worth it to repair. Just replace.

Good morning! I would love to help you with your home search. I'm a licensed Realtor in Columbia and live 5 mins away from LA Mart - would you like to see some places or be set up with a property search? Fell free to message me

The oakland mills village center is maybe the best in columbia. LA mart has a great selection of food for prices that are waaay lower than any of the “american” chains around here (or even h-mart and lotte), and in general the village center seems like its kinda on the upswing, with more stores opening up in the area over the past few years. Currently theres a salvadoran restaurant thats going to open soon, and a jamaican food truck that comes by on sundays.

Pizzaman also has really good pizza and south asian food so theres a lot of variety.

Also, the trails are really nice and easily walkable.

It's a nice place. Good for families, places close early. You can walk around the area at any time of day, it's perfectly safe. Oakland Mills is pretty quiet. Convenient to live so close to the LA Mart. Don't expect too many things to be open past 9 pm around here though.

Vizio tv's have actually come up in price, their prices are almost on par with samsung, so saying that they are in expensive is not a true statement. the cheap tv's are TCL, HISENSE, Westing House, Toshiba Fire TV and a few others.

so anytime you have issues with the panel which this sounds like you would need to replace the panel. which is definitely not worth the repair. cost of the panel is usually just $100-200 less than buying the tv new. factor in the xost of Labor and you would have purchased a new tv. For a second opinion UBREAKIFIX should be able to give you a quote.

Not OP, but I have a curved screen Samsung that's 5-6 years old now. A section of pixels went black about 6"x1" near the corner and starts on the edge of the screen. There was no impact or anything to cause it. There's no discoloration around the area that's black. Can that be repaired? If you need me to look up the exact model number, I'll get that for you.

Vizio TVs are very inexpensive.

It's very unlikely to be cost effective to have it repaired, as opposed to just buying a new one.

Alpha Ridge landfill.

I use to work for samsung repairing tv's whats wrong with the tv and i can tell you if its worth it. depending on the size and cost.

What’s wrong with it?
