Hello hello! Any charity shops around Johnstown that accept donations in good condition? I’d like to donate to somewhere other than Goodwill.

TYIA!!

Welcome to our bi-weekly opportunity for Johnstown locals to shamelessly plug what they have going on! Promoting a new event, new online content, or something else that you're involved with? This is the place to post it!

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.

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

Any parties that are happening on Halloween?

Can anyone recommend a good reliable fence company?

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?

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!

Anyone see the SWAT team yesterday Oct 17 about 5-5:30 pm ? On Shady lane in Southmont ? There was a loud flash bang used and mega-phone calling out they have a warrant. They took someone away but no info on news .

On the new episode of Renewed, we talk with local artist Patrise Henkel, who shares her story of falling in love with Johnstown's landscapes.

And if it's been a while since you've tuned in—don't miss these past episodes:

• Jeff Webb on the local music scene
• Box Boy on what it's like to be our hometown superhero
• Mark DiMauro on what AI means for your future

See all episodes

Renewed is produced at Cambria County Library, and is available wherever you get your podcasts.

Can anyone recommend a lawyer in or near Johnstown with experience in representing domestic abuse victims? Preferably female, but not required. I'm finding mostly lawyers who represent abusers, which is definitely not what I'm looking for.

Inaugural meeting

Tuesday October 15

6:00 – 8:00pm

Craftwork Studios at 134 Gazebo Park, downtown. (some meetings will happen at the Library on Main)

• WRITING WARMUP 10: minute writing to a prompt, which we can share.
• ASK FOR FEEDBACK : read a selection from a project you’d like feedback on, and tell us what kind of feedback is helpful. 
• MAKE CONNECTIONS: creative people who work in isolation need peers! Team up with someone to proof each other’s work, beta read, or just to call when the muse needs a boost. Writers make great friends!
• SOMETHING ELSE? Share ideas for what you think would be useful

Cambria County Boardgaming will be hosting our spooky October game night tomorrow October 12th from 4-10pm in Roxbury!

We will be providing a chili bar for refreshments and our game this month will be Betrayal at House on the Hill!

Build your own haunted mansion as you and your team explore the creaky halls and encounter evil spirits and bad omens. At some point in the game the right player will find the wrong omen and set loose a terror on all those playing. Will you have to work as a team to overcome the house? Will you be divided into two groups to fight? Will it be every man for himself? With 50 different scenarios every time you play will be different but just as exciting. This game has it all for the spooky season from zombies and skeletons to giant spiders and mad scientists!

This year has also been extremely successful with our monthly teach a games and tournaments, so we will be announcing next years line up tomorrow night as well, and reminding everyone about what we’re doing the rest of this year! Be ready to join us for a wildly fun night as we prepare to round out the year

Ugh I have too much going on and just cannot deal with stuff right now, and of course today is when my front door hinges decide to just... fall out.

Whoever installed the door was probably not a professional. We tried to put the top hinge back in and screw it in tightly after it fell out, but then it fell out again and the middle hinge followed suit.

Any recommendations for someone who could get it fixed at a reasonable price? Thank you in advance.

Why is Johnstown so boring ?

Spitballing and haven't had my coffee yet so bear with me.

Everyone who grew up here learned the flood history, FDR visiting after '36, the Red Cross getting its first big springboard after '89. I've lived around the country and with rare exceptions those who have heard of Johnstown know of it b/c of the floods.

The mills and the mines aren't coming back and the populace is largely unenthusiastic about embracing other industries on a wide, area-defining scale like Pittsburgh has with biotech. Johnstown wants to be Johnstown as it was, so it's floundered for decades.

What about a campaign at the national level to make the region a hub for coordinating and staging national disaster flood responses? With hurricanes, atmospheric rivers, and coastal flooding on climate-driven increases, it's a national security need that requires investment in infrastructure, tech, and jobs, and which conveniently ties into the historical identity of Johnstown and might be something more likely to be embraced by Johnstowners.

Listening to this on NPR right now, and I found a link for anyone interested: https://open.spotify.com/episode/4psxYqeINztzTy4pKWjDS4 (skip ahead about five minutes to get into the actual episode). I'm sure searching On Point for the October 1, 2024 episode will get it for you wherever you'd like to listen.

It's about the change from majority registered Democrats to majority registered Republicans, with a professor from UPJ as a guest (Ray Wrabley), along with some basic history (they don't mention the floods until early the end), political background, and demographics.

Anyone know of any adult volunteer groups, or ones you want to brag about in the area? Bonus points for members between the ages of 25-45. I'm in two, but they don't meet often and the membership is mostly grandmas. They're great, but I'd like to meet some like minded non-retirees.

Johnstown already has a pretty good board game community with its monthly meetings, but is their anyone that hasn't gone too them that would like to meet up? Maybe you haven't had the time to go but still want to play some games, let me know and we can schedule something.

Any events/live music happening this weekend?

Long story, bought a used GMC Terrain with a three-year, 36K mile warranty that so far would probably be worth more if it were printed on toilet paper because at least then I could get SOME use out of it. I've had the car since late January and it's cost me probably close to $1,000 in repairs.

Details are here if needed: https://www.reddit.com/r/AskAMechanic/comments/1fpee16/ac_blows_hot_air_intermittently_mechanic_says_too/

I just want it to be fixed RIGHT. And I'd REALLY love it if the warranty paid for that.
