Hello, I'm going through a weird time so I figured I'd turn to reddit - my go to for life advice :/

I (28M) have been living in the Harrisburg area (Mechanicsburg) my entire life. Left for college but came back after I graduated. I'm a pretty introverted person, so I always liked the peacefulness of the area, also all my family is in the area, but at this point in my life all my friends have either moved away or we've grown apart. I have no good friends and have really been struggling to meet women.

A recent relationship I was in didn't work out, which kind of triggered all of this panic and feelings of hopelessness. Regardless, I realized I need to make friends, I just have no clue how to do it / where to go. Part of me feels like I need to find a new place to live altogether and kind of re-anchor myself. I've heard good things about Lancaster, but I'm not too familiar with the area. Are there any places you'd recommend to a childless, 28 year old guy looking to meet new people? Not sure if I'm overreacting and I need to look harder in the Harrisburg area, I just don't know where to begin.

Thanks for reading this if you made it the entire way through my panic-typing :D

At dinner tonight we were discussing the skeleton in the floor years ago at this restaurant. I remember seeing this when I was frequenting Kclingers back in the early 2000’s. My uncle lives in Etters and has his entire adult life and went there when it was Jolly Coppersmith. I thought I had pictures on my drive from my digital camera but no luck. Anyone else remember this and/or happen to have a picture?

Anyone know any good pick up soccer spots????

Reaching out to any aviation enthusiasts out there. Are there any great spots to post up for plane spotting near MDT? I am looking for something publically accessible, like parking lots, parks, etc. that are near approach or takeoff from the airport.

Also, I see that that an Antonov arrives every once in a while. Is there a public schedule available for when bigger or unique planes come to the area?

I live out on the west coast now but still say lots of central pa slang that confuse the hell out of people. I often say something like "I know this will get me in dutch, but I'm going it anyways." or end sentences with "a while". What are some others that you use?

Imagine being a small business owner and thinking that posting a weird racist remark under your business name is a good idea. Search the owner Dave Donley and you'll see this isn't a one off with being racist. He also owned Davey Bones Locker in Harrisburg which was shut down after racist rants

The one and only Flestones blow through town, on their way back from another campaign in the Midwest. Groove Rebels (featuring Amy Simpson) bring the rock as well. Early show on a Sunday! A super rock evening!!!

Residential Solar is often sold by 'sales companies' who go door knocking to generate leads and then sell them to contractors who actually do the work. Or companies that advertise on the web, etc... to generate demand, then hand it off to contractors. Who are the actual system installers here in central PA, and can you get a better price from them by cutting out the 'sales machine' companies?

Thanks

Re-purposing an earlier post of mine, hoping to clarify PA early voting questions.

Early voting in PA has been misrepresented by many sources and, as a result, has led to countless conspiracy theories surrounding election security. To clarify: the "early voting" process in PA is actually "in-person, on-demand mail-in voting." The reason Pennsylvania does not have the typical "early voting" process that several other states have is because of Act 77 in the PA General Assembly (2019). For more information on the legislative reasons why PA votes in this manner, please visit 2019 Act 77 - PA General Assembly.

Given the above, it is incredibly harmful that lies about voter suppression are being spread. The reasons for the long lines being seen at PA voting sites this week is because the process is not as simple as people are making it out to be. To vote "early and in-person" in PA, (1) you show up to your respective site, (2) fill out an application form for a mail-in ballot, (3) wait for that application to be processed, (4) be given your mail ballot, and (5) fill it out and submit. Keep in mind, you absolutely could have sped up this process by requesting a mail-in ballot long before election day. I am not trying to blame voters here. I agree, this process is incredibly frustrating and I wish real early voting existed in the state. But it doesn't. I am urging everyone to not participate in the intimidation of poll workers and the spreading of other conspiracy theories about PA elections. And while I am trying my absolute hardest to remain non-partisan, I do not think it should come as a surprise that the state is getting far more mail-in ballot requests than normal, considering one of the candidates spent the entire 2020 cycle telling their supporters that mail-in ballots were subject to fraud and not to be trusted only to reverse course in 2024.

Exercise your right to vote! Vote in the manner that makes most sense for you, whether it be in-person or mail-in. If you want to see changes to how our elections are conducted, contact your representatives. There are legitimate conversations to be had over voting in PA and the ability to vote early, but they are being completely drowned out by the conspiracy theories about early voting being suppressed.

Two central Pennsylvania Democratic party members have found GPS trackers on their vehicles within the last week. The trackers with any information has been forwarded to the police department and the FBI. Both party members have recently been canvassing which may be when the trackers were affixed to their vehicles. Please have your vehicles checked for trackers and report all information to your local police department and FBI. There is no information these trackers can provide outside of terrorizing volunteers and their families. The perpetrators need to be found and stopped as soon as possible. Please spread the word and check your vehicles.

Android and Apple users can use the "Airguard" app to check their vehicles.

Stay safe!

Looking for best place to mount/balance tires that I'll supply and disposal of old ones? Located in Harrisburg.

So we just moved to Cumberland County. We have waste management.

I put cardboard boxes out from moving, they took them but left a note saying they need broken down and tied. Some of the boxes were cut up and placed into other boxes. So cool. I’ll break them down. However, I’m not wasting time and tying them in bundles.

Can I cut them up and put the pieces in the big recycling tote they gave us and have them take it that way?

I’ve tried calling them since Monday and can’t get through to them.
