Utilities

If you live alone, what are your monthly costs for water, sewage, trash, electric, and/or gas in downtown Carlisle? I am coming from Middletown, who has privatized their water and electric and it is OUTRAGEOUS. I am trying to see how much I can expect from Carlisle in pricing.

Please feel free to share how much you pay for groceries too. I’ve never lived alone, only with others, so I’m trying to gauge it. Thanks 😊

I love this little town

I recently moved here from northeastern pa where there’s few and far between to do. I moved here in July and I just think this area is so special and the history is so cool. Is there anything to do you’d recommend that I may have missed, or anything to avoid?

Halloween parade tonight

Overall I loved the Halloween parade, but one thing bothered me. The Scott Perry truck. I thought that politics weren’t allowed. Was I wrong? If so, that’s okay, understood. Still irritating though.

Weis or Giant for Party Platters?

I have a large group (~100) for which I am trying to order sandwiches, wraps, etc.

Does anyone have experience with the party platters at Weis (on High) and Giant (on Spring Garden)? What is better?

I am more concerned about taste vs price.

Borough Council Vacancy Interviews:

Tonight was the BOC interviews for the vacant council seat. It was a a strong showing of town applicants (5) and a good crowd of locals there to witness! All good candidates, and ended with a tie vote - TBD in the next month or so.

Aside from the candidates and their qualifications, there was a lot of discussion around what issues Carlisle residents are facing in the near to long term, and what should be done about them. To name a few that got brought up tonight:

  1. Homelessness
  2. Traffic (specifically around car shows and tractor trailers)
  3. Poverty rates being higher than the state average.
  4. Diversity and Inclusivity as our community grows.
  5. Walkability / bikability
  6. Climate resilience

How do others view the issues facing Carlisle and what do you think should be on the Boroughs mind?

Carlisle D&D?

Hi - I've lived in Carlisle for a little over five years now, but I moved right before Covid, so I never had much of an opportunity to make lasting friendships. One of my favorite things to do is play Dungeons and Dragons (5e, particularly), and I was wondering if the area has any in-person places I can go, or if there are any online groups for the area where I can look into finding a group.

LGBT+ Spaces/Events

Hey y'all, anybody know about anywhere in town that hosts events specifically for LGBT+ people? Don't really have much social media and all Google is giving me is information about pride month stuff. The pandemic turned me into a shut-in and I'm trying to remember how to be social lol, thanks in advance for any help.

1 way street

Any recommendations on how to get a car to stop driving the wrong way on the 1 way street I live on? It's happened twice in 2 days (same car) and the street is very obviously marked 1 way

OOTL: weird email from CASD

Just saw an email from the school district about a "viral image circulating" but I have no clue what it's taking about. Anybody else have a clue? Sounds like someone made a threat online or something?

Open Bags of Trash

I walk by this house on W. North St. most days and have called the borough multiple times about this. Does anyone know how I can actually get this person to clean up their sidewalk? Its disgusting and all over. I'm afraid I'll step on a dirty needle or a dirty diaper one day.

This has to be a public health problem (it looks like there is a diaper!) and the borough has only ignored me. This is not a one time thing. About two days a week I will walk by this house with their garbage like this. Sometimes it will be put for four or five days like this! Absolutely disgusting and I cannot believe that the borough allows this to happen. This is right by the police office too, don't you think they could just stop and tell them to clean up their trash?

Any advice would help, as the borough clearly does not care.

Activities in Carlisle, PA

I’m 29M and moved here a few months ago. Anyone play golf, disc golf, or do anything else outdoors? I’m starting to work out again and I am getting back into running. Tried a local running club, but I feel like I need to get in better shape before I can keep up with that. Also joined a local dog park. I don’t really know anyone here, so trying to start doing some things where I may be able to meet people. Been working a lot and need to start getting into more hobbies since I’m more settled here now, at least for the next few years.
