Men’s haircut

Hey all, I am looking for a hair stylist/barber in the Williamsport area that is affordable but offers higher quality work than let’s say QuickCuts. I figure 25-30$ is a good price range, but when I search up places online all I see are cuts for 40 or 50$. Any suggestions? I am open to anywhere, but especially local small businesses. Thanks all for your time!

Susquehanna 500/"Mini Indy" Preservation Photos, Videos, and Other Sources

Hello, Williamsport! I am the webmaster for susquehanna500.com.

Recently, the ownership of the domain changed hands to me and I am trying to create a website to preserve the history of the event as well as to be a starting point for any future revitalization efforts.

I've already done a ton of research into the event history, canvasing the entirety of the Sun Gazette's archives on the event. I've also managed to dig up old technical manuals for the karts used for the event (Manco model 713/715).

However, I find myself needing more pictures, videos, and general information of the event over the years. So, I figured I'd put out a public call for some.

If you have any pictures, videos, articles (non-Sun-Gazette), or records of the event such as technical manuals, race and qualifying results, diagrams, or internal communications these would be incredibly useful.

Please send any such sources to sources@susquehanna500.com. By sending us sources, you allow us to post them on the site and/or retain them as references. Not all sources are guaranteed to be publicly viewable. We will not use your sources for any advertising, republication, or AI training purposes. If you are sending photos, videos, or articles, please include credit where you can so I can provide credit where possible.

If you have any questions pertaining to the event, I'll do my best to answer them in the comments. But, there is only so much that I have answers to so please be patient haha.

P.S. Attempting to go to the site currently will redirect you to the Facebook page until the site is complete. Stay tuned for it to be open.

Places to Study in the Area

Hey everyone, I recently graduated college and before I start my job, I have to take a big licensure exam. I've had a hell of a time studying at home (gotta love moving back home after college), and am wondering if anyone has any recommendations for places to sit down for a few hours and get some work done. Coffee shops, libraries, really anything!

Does anyone here work at the Lycoming Engines plant or know someone who does?

I'm trying to transition from active duty military to being in the guard or being a full-on civilian. Does anyone here have any insight into working there? I know how to apply for the jobs on their website. I'm just looking for personal connections or insights.

Looking for long tall steps to run near Billtown

I am looking to get in shape by running stadium steps or public access steps. I did it when I was young & lived somewhere else. The local schools would allow anyone to run the steps.

Are there any stadiums open for public use to run the steps? Or, is there a tall steep set of stairs anywhere? Or, last resort, is there a tall steep (safe & low traffic) hill anywhere?

Thanks for any help.

Considering moving from Denver

Hi everyone, my boyfriend is currently up for a job near Williamsport and we are trying to make a decision on moving there from Denver, Colorado. We are two gay men so we are hoping to find a relatively accepting place in Pennsylvania if needed and be able to save money on living costs for a few years.

We are trying to figure out if Williamsport would be okay for us and have things to do. Understandable that there will be some culture shock from Denver, I've never lived outside of Colorado myself! Any advice would be appreciated, our other option was a job in Seattle but the costs are mounting for that sort of move. Thank you in advance!

Lego

Me and my boys got into lego the past few years. We are looking for part lots or any old ones you may have around you no longer want.
They are pricey in stores so on a little budget.

Thanks

Dark places in Williamsport

I am a stargazer and dabble in astrophotography. So I am wondering where are some dark spots in Williamsport that are good for stargazing? I already know about Cherry Springs and I love it there, but I don’t want to have to drive an hour and half every time I want to be under the skies that are not burdened by light pollution.

Auto service shops

Does anyone have some recommendations for a reputable auto shop around here? I’ve been to the same place a few times, but recently I can’t help but feel like I’ve been getting ripped off (especially as a girl who doesn’t know much about cars), and would like to get a second opinion from somewhere trustworthy
