Harrisburg University selling office space

Pennlive did a story that Harrisburg University is selling office space. BIZNewsPA did a much more in-depth story. However, earlier stories in both publications noted that there are no offices in the new UPMC tower. So I think this is smart by the university to sell office space that no longer needs because it downsized out so many employees. hopefully this will help the university with its bondholders and meet its cash needs so it survives https://www.pennlive.com/education/2024/11/harrisburg-university-plans-to-sell-one-of-its-properties.html?outputType=amp

ISO Political signs

Hi folks, I’m part of a small, independent documentary film project about political yard signs, and we’re in the process of documenting what happens to them after the election. We’re specifically looking for signs being actively thrown away/recycled/damaged/removed or whatever else might showcase a post-election landscape. This is a bipartisan piece, so we are not looking to paint either party in a specific light.

If anyone has any leads on signs as I described above, or any knowledge of an alternative option, please reach out!

City island parking question.

If I goto city island when there are no events, do I have to pay for parking or what is the parking situation there?

Want to stop and take some pictures one morning for about an hour or so and have never been there.

2nd & Charles reopening

I'm planning a Harrisburg trip for the weekend, and I'm wondering if the new 2nd & Charles is open yet? I know that the mall closed down, and that they were moving to a new location, but have they opened up in there yet?

Edit: thank y'all for your help!

Basketball courts

Does anyone have suggestions in the area for outdoor courts with lights or free indoor courts?

I live in midtown and I usually play at Adams Ricci but the park doesn’t turn on the basketball court lights after sunset. I’ve also played indoors at a church in Manheim a couple times which is a bit far.

I went to Creekview for the first time this week and I’m wondering if there are other options too

Seriously thought squirrels were friendly

Recently move to the area from State College. For those who've never been to Penn State University Park the squirrels on campus are super friendly. You can feed them and Ive seen them climb up peoples legs! They are wild animals so they should be scared of people. That is all.

Any fans of russian post-punk, italodisco, kraut rock, coldwave, and or darkwave here? Does anyone know of any clubs, venues, or events that play or specifically celebrate the genres?

I know in PGH, there's a club called Brutalism PGH, which plays some of my favorite artists such as Buerak, Molchat Doma, Ploho, Joy Division, The Smiths, Grauzon, Boy Harsher, etc. I'm wondering if the fan base for these is also existent in HBG, and would like to explore the possibility of coordinating a regular night like this at a local venue, or just attending an already existing night like this. Based on a previous post, it seems like there's a good number of supporters of this idea in HBG.

Where to move?

Hi everyone!

I just got a job in Harrisburg and am set to start in January. I am going to be graduating college in December and need to relocate to Harrisburg for when I start my job. Looking for suggestions for safe, but fun towns or even apartments for young professionals. Wouldn't want to be more than 20-30 minutes from downtown Harrisburg. Would be living in the city be worth it? Open to all suggestions, thanks!

Parking on Election Day?

I have to go downtown to vote this afternoon. Not sure how long the process will take, but is street parking free today or do you get like 15 minute grace or something? Last time I stopped at pine street for a couple of minutes and got hit with a $30 ticket.

Thanks!
