Shout Out to Our Local PC Gaming Community

Too frustrated to continue searching online for a sales business devoted to high end desktop computers in a 40-mile radius in town. Who is the knucklehead that threw a monkey wrench into Google Chrome?!? NEWSFLASH: The search engine once highly efficient has been suspiciously behaving as if --- the Singularity has pounced & us carbon-based units have been "asleep at the wheel". Is it my laptop that has issues within the last few weeks or has anyone else had problems with browsers?

I digress -- I made the decision to purchase a gaming computer to see for myself if it makes a difference. I would be interested in reading about experiences others had and what was considered to weigh their performance.

Are there hardware / software dealers highly recommended in the area? I came to the grim conclusion that electronic department stores like Microcenter or Frye's in Dallas just don't exist in rural Western PA. Say it ain't so!

Go-Go Lake?

Does anybody remember Go Go Lake? Was a student there from ‘72-‘76 and took many a drive out to view the weird stuff there, but I don’t have exact memory of where it is and all the oddities. Anyone else remember this place?

New school administration

There needs to be a new school administration for the high school because of what's been happening with bullying and everything. I was bullied heavily and had to go online because of it and the administration did nothing to except the athletic director Dan roan. Other than that they have them a slap on the wrist and did nothing more.

Used DVD Movies & TV Series

Anyone know the closest place to Indiana selling movie DVDs? I am determined to wean myself from streaming channel subscriptions. It's especially aggravating when I search for an old show and the streaming channel wants even more money - HA! I know there's far worse issues in the world but thought I'd ask - thanks in advance!

2nd year in a row without a Spirit Halloween in Indiana PA

It's really a shame that Spirit Halloween can't use the former Kmart or some other location at the Indiana Mall or in Indiana PA. I do wonder if some leasing deal was acquired for the former Kmart. Rumors in the area say the mall and Rural King came to an agreement but Rural King is waiting for construction prices to come down before beginning work. Guess we will find out as it's kind of odd not to be able to use the same spot they have for years without something else going in there.

Soon to be IUP Grad looking for friends

Hello all, with the unfortunate upcoming of graduation I find myself thinking about who I’ll be able to hangout with once all of my college friends leave Indiana next Saturday/Sunday.

Some of my interests are music, fishing/anything outdoors, sports, video games, cooking, and exploring/adventuring. If you think we might click then feel free to shoot me a PM! Thank you!! 😄

Are the Indiana Speaks Up Surveys Making a Positive Difference?

I like the idea that folks are asked for their input regarding needs in the community. Reviewing the comments from the 2022 survey and there's a LOT of thoughtful answers.

What happens after the survey results are tallied? I really want to know whether these survey results factor into the planning and budgeting of services. Or are my efforts an exercise in futility?

Anyone into searching for the paranormal in the area?

Inspired by working in a haunted mental hospital, does anyone enjoy any of the haunts of the area? I'm a skeptic who enjoys delving into the paranormal. Any locations anyone can recommend?

Help an International Student Out

Hello, I'm a fellow Redditor and my Peruvian friend is studying at the university. She needs help with public transit options out of Indiana in the summer. She said there's no bus or shuttle service out after May 1st. I'm out west so I don't know. What do people do to get out of town who don't have a car? She's worried there won't be any Lyft or Uber options either to get out and back. She particularly wants to get to Hershey, PA to see Stevie Nicks.

Pierogies

Here's one for the foodies of Indiana PA --- does anyone know the best eatery for decent (not frozen) pierogies? Raised my kids (who are now adults) in Texas. They haven't had the good fortune to eat pierogies yet.

Reminiscing about Growing Up in Indiana

My family moved to Indiana when my Dad was hired to teach at IUP - late 60s. Daydream: Waking up one morning to my bedroom light being flicked on and off, "Time for School!" It would be kind'ave like Quantum Leap but I would be myself in 1970.

I imagine myself walking after school down N 5th St towards Downtown. Does anyone remember the candy store on N 5th? Stopping in to buy rock candy and paper candy. The first store on Philly to check out was Uber's Record Store. I was crazy about the Beatles and collected their records. I wasn't crazy about Troutman's but Mom loved shopping there.

I will never forget the time Mom found a skirt with a little rip in it. She actually tried to talk the sales lady in accepting less for the skirt. I was mortified - as an adult, now understand that bargaining is the norm in certain cultures.

I miss checking out the movie posters at the Indiana theater, buying white lipstick at Murphy's, window shopping in Brody's and checking out library books at Indiana Free Library.

Grateful Downtown now has great stores and restaurants. Doesn't stop me from taking a trip down Memory Lane though. Ironically when I graduated from high school, I left town with the intention of never returning, again. Turns out I moved back to care for my elderly folks - I wanted them to be able to live in their home for as long as possible. It was 2008. Both parents passed away and my family home sold since then.

Happy Ending: The owner of my former family home put it on the market last summer. And I now am the very fortunate owner of my family home. My parents bought this home for $17,500 in 1970.

The Grateful Dead nailed it, "What a long, strange trip it's been" - HA! Anyone else want to take us down Memory Lane?

Indiana PA my hometown. People sobbing over Jimmy Stewart’s statue on the day of his death. Bob’s Pizza. Going “uptown” on half-days. Getting harassed by IUP students. IUP homecoming parade. Christmas parade, Conservative politicians lol. Rich Gallo getting kicked out of the Council. Let’s gooooooo.

I love Indiana pa. The people there weren’t as miserable as yinzers. And I’m coming back as an old fart, and will take Indiana to the next level. I will live near the water tower on the hill.
