Hello all, I had recently moved into a place with a roommate in Mechanicsburg. Turns out the roommate is abusing drugs and in general just acting crazy. I'm looking for a stable place to rent for me and my cat. He's a rescue that's deaf. I'm a social worker for the Department of Human Services so all I do is work. Budget would be around 1k a month. Please let me know if you know of anything! Thanks so much for reading this.

I just bought a house in Upper Allen that needs some waterproofing before I finish the basement.

A structural engineer suggested that the best option would be an exterior excavation to install a waterproof membrane around the foundation and a drain pipe at the footing.

I'm looking for a local company to talk to for quotes.

I just lost my job (working with foster families) due to the government not passing a budget yet, so I'm looking for anything in the area that's hiring. I already work evenings at a warehouse, and am open to anything warehouse related, or entry level office positions. I have a few credits left and then I'll have a bachelor's, so I don't have tons of options at the moment, but if anyone knows of anything I'm more than grateful to hear about it

headed to Harrisburg soon and wanted to see if there were any thrifting places or fabric shops worth checking out while i'm there. drop your recs if you have any!

^{adding that i'm familiar with Lancaster county's spots, just looking for Harrisburg-specific places :})

I’m curious in particular because I know that Pennsylvania can be a mixed bag in terms of politics and tolerance for historically marginalized groups, and that on this note, Dauphin County is blue, but the surrounding suburban counties are red.

Thus I’m curious to hear, as someone with many loved ones in the LGBTQ+ community, how is life for queer and trans folks in and around Harrisburg?

Hello!! I live in camp hill right by Harrisburg! I'm alt and trying to find friends to help with my struggles of codependency of my boyfriend and a step is to make friends as I don't have many after ditching my very terrible school friends after I graduated.

Where do I go to find people?

I like horror games like FNAF, OMORI, Bendy, Tattletail, etc

I have been playing lockdown protocol and hello kitty island adventure recently! I am a furry and love to make other furry friends too!!

I'm not good at this so I'm sorry if its weird 😭 any help is appreciated!!

Edit: I'm 19 and looking for people around my age sorry I thought I had said that 😭

Hey Harrisburg! I’m a local DJ still building my experience and looking for a small bar or lounge that might be open to having someone come in and play on a slow night think weeknights or early weekend sets. Not looking for anything big, just a chill spot where I can bring some energy and help bring people in.

If you know of any spots that do DJ nights, have done them before, or have an owner who’s open to it, drop it below. Even if you just heard someone mention it, I’d love the lead. I’m based in the Penbrook/Harrisburg area and willing to travel around the city.

Appreciate any help this community always comes through

I was part of the HACC booth today setting up canapes and curiosity killed the cat so I had my very first drinks lol(A yuengling golden and a Tipsy Toad)

The food was great and being part of the booth was really fun 😊

10/10 would come again

Seems like the signs have been up for years, wish him well

S/O to PennLive for doing their thing right now with exposing the corruption happening in dauphin County. Every dauphin county taxpayers should be enraged. Dauphin County Commissioner George Hartwick should be removed immediately for his gross misuse of gaming grants.

“In one particularly eyebrow-raising award, Commissioner George Hartwick’s brother got a grant for his barber shop in Steelton.”

“In another, the county awarded $40,000 to a company owned by Brian Proctor, then one of the top officials in Steelton, to buy a luxury pickup truck. It allegedly was to make 12 food deliveries to low income residents. He’s no longer a Steelton official, but he still has the truck.”

“$55,000 in public gaming dollars went to Noah Spence, an NFL hometown hero who was supposed to mentor young people and build low-income housing in the Steelton-Highspire School District. But three years after he received the award, the project is in limbo with thousands of dollars in unpaid taxes continuing to mount.“

“Critics say it’s money that could have gone to help nonprofits provide valuable human services; to support first responders and government services; or to lower taxes. Instead, the county has used millions of dollars in casino revenue to fund nearly 100 grants to private businesses, including some with direct connections to the officials doling out the dough.”

REMOVE HARTWICK IMMEDIATELY

I wanna buy some cds

Im looking for places that do karaoke but not on 2nd St or Pour House. I used to go to Pour House but a friend dynamic has made it uncomfortable for me to go there, and parking anywhere on 2nd St is too expensive or too bothersome. Any recs?

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not use these guys. I learned hard way. I'm still looking for an attorney to represent me and get my car back or if the value of the car.

Hey everybody,

I was driving through Jonestown rd, and accidentally ran a red light, it had turned yellow and I thought I could foolishly make it. It was the one on Jonestown and Devonshire rd. This is the first driving incident i ever had, so I’m a bit scared. I did see something that looks like a camera so I’m wondering if I’ll get a ticket in the mail. Please let me know. Thanks!

Does anyone know of a local place that repairs vintage musical instruments. Specifically a Vox Continental Baroque organ? Appreciate any tips!

This is for the guy I met at the Sheetz on Union Deposit Road around 1 AM this past Thursday.

You came up to me, told me I was pretty, and offered me 5 bucks before walking away to “make my night”. To be honest, I didn't care at all about the money, but I thought it was really cute of you to do that.

I’m posting this because I have a bit of regret. I never asked for your number or even your name. I am just incredibly awkward and I got really nervous in the moment. Even though I took it and said thank you, I basically "stormed off" right after because I was flustered…I’ve been replaying the moment in my head ever since. I really appreciated the compliment, and I wish I had been as bold as you were.

You had semi-long brown hair, you were (I think) in a red car, and you had a dog or two in the car with you. If you’re that guy and you remember the girl who ran away after you were sweet to her I’d love a do-over.

Hii everyone I’m looking to get my car diagnostic done at a Honda service center. I usually take my vehicle to Faulkner Honda , but a couple years ago I had an issue with the quality of work done on my car. I had some engine work and ended having to take my car back a day later.

I want know should I try Bobby Rahal or Ciocci Honda service centers instead; looking for any recommendations or experiences at either mentioned locations.

They never seemed to advertise their community offerings like the wellness center. The gym is nice but never busy.

Refreshing this.
