Electric power outages?

Hi, We are moving to Easton, Palmer Township specifically 😀. How often does the power go out and for how long when it does go out? We work from home a lot so are trying to decide what type of backup power setup - if any - to install.

For those of you that have a natural gas whole home generator (Generac/Kohler etc), did you ever have problems with the natural gas supply during outages?

Thanks!

420 'friendly' workplaces in Easton

Hi all - please don't judge me this is a legit question. Any leads on work in the area that won't freak out and ban you if you fail pre-employment for marijuana.. or better yet somewhere that doesn't check for that or does a saliva swab instead of urine? I need to start working in the area before January and am a smoker at night due to anxiety. This doesn't effect my work but definitely effects the job search. Yes, I have stopped but... still need a job sooner than later. Hopefully this post goes over okay lol.

(CW: "Drama") Richard's Drive In (Forks) Closure

I'm only making this because of conspiracies we caught wind of about why we haven't been active in Forks Township.

I want to clarify, as someone closely related to Richards but not the owner, that claims made by a nearby restaurant owner about us "selling out" our Forks location to them is outright false. The more accurate description would be that we were forcefully run out by them. I urge the involved parties to stop spreading misinformation. Thanks <33

Looking for people to trial our business

Have you ever wanted to have a painting of your partner, a family portrait, your dog or whatever your favorite photo is? I always loved the idea of painting but unfortunately I'm not the best at it. A few months ago though a friend and I came up with a cool idea, what if you could turn any photo you want into a paint by numbers. That way anyone can paint, anything they want.

We looked up custom paint by numbers and found a few Etsy stores selling them but they were way overpriced and most of them didn't even come with the canvas on a frame. So we looked around and talked to a bunch of suppliers, eventually we managed to produce custom paint by number kits cheaper then anywhere else and already framed (you can still order them without a frame but we found most people want them ready to go out of the box).

Long story short though we're trying to grow and get more people talking about us. So we decided it would be a good idea to reach out to some local subreddits and hopefully you'll enjoy them enough to share your experience :)

You can use the code "COSTPRICEREDDIT" to get our kits for cost price (our margins are pretty slim right now we want to be as affordable as possible). You can get up to 4 kits at that price so feel free to buy a few and plan a date night, family activity or just get your Christmas shopping done early.

Potential Neighborhood Watch Alert

A guy in a truck tried to accost my friend as they were walking up 13th toward Lutzi’s. This older man in a pickup truck slowed down by them as they were walking and continued to stare at them as they waved him on. He proceeded to get out of his truck in the middle of the road to try and approach them. They backed away and told him to get back, and thankfully another car was coming up behind him so he had to climb back in and drive away. They don’t remember the color of the truck as their priority was to get away as fast as possible, just posting as a heads up. This happened around 10:55pm on 13th St between Washington and Butler If anyone who lives on that block has a porch camera please reach out

Anyone Know Why the Power went out?

Roughly 4 pm-ish Sunday, was watching Transformers One when the Regal's power went out, and so did my house and many traffic lights along the way. Any word on exactly why? Just curious.

Explosions?

Anyone else hearing explosions? It’s not the typical fireworks noise. I’ve heard it 3 or 4 times tonight. Very loud. South of the city— I think

What is this building in the Easton Heights Cemetery?

I walked past this earlier today but can’t find any information on it online, and I didn’t think to stop by the cemetery office while I was there. Does anyone know anything about it?

To the D&L Canal trail cyclists who stopped after I crashed

Sunday 25 August 2024 around 2pm I was on my first ride on the D&L canal trail between Easton and Bethlehem. I was riding along at a good pace (perhaps too fast) and hit a series of roots on the trail. I had a "yard sale" crash and ended up on the ground, head spinning. I was banged up and bruised but generally OK.

As I was recovering from the impact and getting myself back together, several cyclists stopped and offered help. Just as I was about to set off back to the trailhead, I realized that the impact had not only broken my helmet but also dislodged both of my hearing aids. I began a search and as I was scanning the ground, another cyclist came by and joined in the hunt. He almost immediately found my right side device. Despite a thorough search, we were unable to find the left one. His finding the right one saved big money on the replacement cost.

Bruised and battered, with another helmet already ordered, I send thanks to the community for the assistance.

My wish for clear trails, favorable weather and tailwinds to you.

Easton going broke?

City went down my block yesterday and gave basically every house a violation warning for weeds sticking out in-between the concrete. I've lived here for awhile now and this is the first time. Does this happen often and they just hit up my block yesterday or is the fat guy desperate for money?

What is the toll plaza on i-78 before exit 75 for?

I ride my motorcycle to Eason from NYC, coming from the east, from I-287 to I-78.

It just occurred to me that I pass a toll plaza right after the small Delaware River bridge. But then I take exit 75 to Eason/611, so what is the toll for? I don't think I cross any tolls in Jersey after the Outer Bridge Crossing in Staten Island.

And I don't think there's a toll going back east across the Delaware River.

How much do laffayette students pay for off campus housing?

I’m just curious, but how much does private off campus student housing cost in college hill?

Is it the same price as the house rentals I see listed there or is there different pricing for students?
