Places people hangout?

I’m kind of antisocial and I have a huge amount of social anxiety, but I’ve been trying to force myself to be more out there, and do things that scare me, just wanted to know if there’s any place people just hang (besides bars), like card shops, or anything in that aspect, it would be dope to meet people who have similar interests

Any dentist recommendations?

Looking for a dentist within Williamsport area, or even as far south of Wilpo as Lewisburg/Selinsgrove - I live in the middle of Selinsgrove and Williamsport

Nothing too involved outside of basic 6 month cleanings! Must also accept Highmark but I can always follow up on recs to verify.

Who do you all like?

TIA!

Update: HOLY MOLY - thank you all so very much for the recs. I wasn’t expecting this much insight and I really appreciate it.

I’ve been going to my dentist (Harrisburg area) forever so ‘breaking up with them’ is kinda hard haha. I’ll be going through these recs later today

Thanks again, neighbors!

Vintage stereo receivers for sale

Hi all, figured I’d post here. I have some vintage stereo equipment for sale. Have a kid on the way and need to lighten my collection to make some space. Here is what I have available:

Pioneer SX-780 receiver

Pioneer SX-580 receiver

Craig 1504 Mid century modern stereo

The 780 is cosmetically rough on the case/veneer, but functional. Great candidate for a cabinet rebuild The 580 is nicer, has one small veneer defect. Fully functional.

The Craig is a strange rare stereo piece that is just cool all around.

If interested feel free to reach out and can provide photos/prices. Thanks

Riding bikes on sidewalks

I don't mind people riding their bikes on sidewalks but why do some bikers act as if they have the right of way specially on the bridges. This guy was riding a big fat tire electric motorized bike and I honestly try to be as neighborly as possible but I honestly fantasized about Sparta kicking him into the river. He didn't even slow down while I had to cower against the jersey barrier in fear he was going to hurt me or my dog.

Some people on bikes think they rule the sidewalks and make other extremely uncomfortable trying to be a pedestrian.

Business Attorney & Accountant Recommendations?

Does anyone have any good suggestions for a local business attorney for a developing business? I'm also looking for a high quality accountant. I'm not looking for someone who simply does your 1099 tax returns, but someone who knows how to find business deductions and lower your tax bill.

Edit to add, not just looking for annual tax prep, but some guidance in the initial year or 2 Thanks

Gym buddy?

I’m in Williamsport for work until mid Nov. I really want to get back into going to the gym. I have a PF membership I’ve neglected for years. I’m just looking for someone to link up with and workout. Full disclosure, I do want to be healthier physically but the main drive is depression. So there’s that. I absolutely will be wearing the ‘sunshine and roses’ mask while at the gym so babysitting is not required. Physically I’d like to be stronger, more weight training (I hate cardio!!). I’m 5’7” @ 145-150pds. I’d like to be @ 135 muscle weight. I’m not overly concerned with your gym knowledge. Whether you’re an expert or novice, just looking for someone to lock in with for the next few months. 💪🏽

Bear Creek & Little Bear Creek along RT 87

These are two different streams. If you turn right (while heading north on 87) you can see these mountain streams. Is there any hiking access along them or is it all posted?

Pajama factory sublet? Or room for rent?

Hello, I will be coming to Williamsport the week of September 9 and staying for 6 to 12 weeks. The last time I was there for work, I sublet a studio in the pajama factory and absolutely loved it. I paint, make soap, sew, and do photography, and it felt very much like home. Unfortunately, there are no small studios available for rent at the moment so I was reaching out to see if someone looking for a short term, renter?

I may also be interested in a room in a house, preferably with a bathroom. Probably working mixed shifts.

As an aside, please tell me your favorite style of pajamas. Should I decide that that is what I would like to craft while I am in town 😂

How are jobs in the trades for the area?

I’m moving upstate more to either NE PA or more north central and was looking into the Williamsport area. I was just wondering if there are a decent amount of jobs in the trades? I’m a commercial/industrial electrician with a background in residential and I’m looking to move to an area that’s quiet and close proximity to the outdoors but I would like to know I have job security first before seriously considering an area.

How clean is Lycoming Creek?

Greetings fine citizens of the Williamsport sub. I have recently returned to my home state of Pennsylvania to finish college. I live very close to Lycoming creek just North of Lycoming creek Rd. My dog is a Labrador Retriever and of course loves to swim. Is the water clean enough to let her go in?

Is there a noise ordinance for Montoursville at all?

I've checked the borough code several times and can't find anything about it. It seems odd to me that there wouldn't be litterally anything about it. Any non-emergency line I've called has said they either don't deal with noise complaints or don't service our area. I have quite unsavory neighbors who run their stupid Mario cart and four wheelers up and down their property. They were just doing it now at 3am. Talking has done nothing. I am desperate to make it stop.
