Comfort Inn vs Holiday Inn

I’m helping family look for a place to stay over the holidays - they’re looking for a place with an indoor pool, looks like these are the two options. Which would you recommend, esp. in terms of cleanliness?

United Airlines flight 5040

I was on this flight from Chicago scheduled for Friday night, November 22. The flight was delayed multiple times and finally arrived about 14 hours late.

I travel a lot, including this specific route, and I just have to say - I could not have asked for a better group of people to have been in this situation with.

Everyone made the best of a lousy situation and did what they could to help each other out. I love this place and the people from here. I know it’s a long shot, but if you were on that flight - thank you, glad we all got here eventually, and hope yinz have a fantastic Thanksgiving!

Dutch Maid White Cake

Does anyone have a recipe for the Dutch Maid White Cake? I'd give anything to eat that again. It was so fluffy and the right amount of sweetness in the icing.

After they closed the bakery years and years ago, I heard rumors you could place a sheet cake order but they never picked up the phone when I called. I tried!

Can we check with all the grandmothers and aunts and uncles and cousins who might know somebody that knows somebody who used to work at that bakery? Ask around at Thanksgiving or something!

Italian oven in the mall is trash

My wife and I come into town to visit my cousin every once in a while, so i was super amped to find out they had an Italian oven there in the mall. In 02 before going to the military, I briefly worked at the one in Somerset. I absolutely love their food, particularly their red pepper soup. Since moving home I ve gone back to the one in somerset a hand full of time and the food is just like I remember, so unique and delicious, which brings me to my topic of.... what the fuck is wrong with this Italian oven in Johnstown? My wife and I went yesterday for the first time, I ordered soup and salad because honestly, I was jonesing for some red pepper soup, my wife ordered the pesto something pasta, I'm not even sure what it was called, it doesn't really matter. When I got my soup, it was a weird orange color, not the red like I was used to at the somerset location, it was weird tasting and it was overly thickened with corn starch, similar to the consistency of egg drop or sweet and sour soup. Almost... slimey. It was a 4/10. My wife finished up eating and we get to go boxes, as she's packing hers up, to our absolute horror, she pulls a metal piece of brillo pad out of her meal. METAL... in her FOOD. I got the manager and he had the nerve to say "do you want me to remake it"... my wife was disgusted and said no just comp it, and I said no, we aren't paying for any of this, that could have sent her to the hospital, and we left. Dude wtf is wrong with this place?

Springsteen Documentary on Disney+ and Hulu

In a section of latest tour documentary they talk about the beginning days and someone is rifling through old tour posters. One that they show is Bruce’s show in the Cambria County War Memorial. Cool.

Richard Pritchard's Resignation

Does anyone know why he resigned seemingly so suddenly and with a two sentence letter? I've heard people say it's really suspicious but I really don't know if it is. Definitely unexpected though to me

Best pizza

We moved here recently, and I grew up in the New York City area, so I am very fond of that particular style of pizza. We've tried many of the local shops in the west hills, Upper Yoder area, and have been disappointed. Even if they get the order right, the toppings are sparse, the crust is over or under-cooked, the cheese is tasteless, etc. Where to go for a really good New York style pizza?

Fireplace Cleaners?

Hey and hi! I'm looking for someone or a company local to Johnstown who could look over and maybe clean a fireplace/chimney. I get a little nervous about the use of them and this house is new to me, so anyone who could verify that it's safe to use and whether it's gas/wood/etc would be great. Quotes would also be fantastic! Thank you so so so much!
