Found a hand-drawn map to a secret garden at the coffee shop bulletin board

Last Tuesday I was grabbing a latte at Brew & Bean on Elm Street and spotted this map taped to their cork board with a pushpin. It claimed there was a hidden garden behind the old fire station on 5th with a koi pond and free herbs you could pick. I followed it after work and found nothing but a muddy lot and a very confused stray cat. Has anyone else fallen for one of these wild bulletin board treasure hunts?

Found a breakup letter on the cork board at the laundromat that was actually a grocery list

Someone taped a note saying 'I'm sorry, but we're done' next to the dryer, and when I looked closer it had '2% milk, eggs, bread' written on the back in tiny print. Has anyone else spotted a note that clearly meant something totally different than what you first thought?

I finally realized my lost cat flyers were all wrong after a woman at the laundromat in Salem pointed it out

She told me I had the reward amount way too low and the font was unreadable from a car window, so I redid them with $500 in bold red letters and a phone number you could see across the street and got a call within two days.

I finally realized my lost cat flyers were all wrong after a woman at the laundromat in Salem pointed it out

Stopped at the library's community board last week and saw 3 separate flyers for the same lost cat

Why I think cork boards are overrated for pinning important stuff

Which cork board wins for local event ads: messy free-for-all or organized grid?

I finally noticed a cork board at my laundromat after 8 months of going there

Compared stapled flyers to taped ones on my local coffee shop board

Found an old flyer from 2012 for a local band I loved, still pinned to a corkboard at the laundromat

Found a handwritten recipe taped to the coffee shop board that changed my baking week

Can we talk about how people keep taping signs over other signs without removing the old ones?

Stopped by the library bulletin board after 6 years and it is exactly the same

That community board flyer about free piano lessons turned out to be a scam

Rant: That community board tip about baking soda for fridge smells is bunk

That one flyer at the laundromat changed how I do my taxes

I think handwritten flyers work better than digital posts for local events

Had to pick between the old cork board at the library and the new digital kiosk downtown for my flyer

Spent 45 minutes looking for a flyer that was right behind the cork board the whole time

Finally saw a real hand-drawn map on a community board instead of a printed flyer

That free yoga class flyer outside my gym was actually legit

Spotted a sign at the laundromat that made me rethink my whole laundry routine

Spent $15 on a specialty bulletin board cleaner spray from the hardware store and it just smeared the cork worse.

Tried to post a missing cat flyer but the thumbtack broke in half and now I'm just staring at the corkboard

That free pottery class flyer turned out to be legit

That flyer on the coffee shop board said 'hire a pro' but I went DIY anyway
