(Sober rant actually)
I'm a latina, born and raised. I'm married to a white American man. Despite this, tellus took ONE look at me, and decided that I was "too drunk." We tried explaining that I have straismus, but they kept yelling at us. So convenient to preach inclusiveness only yo have a WHITE PERSON reject you. Fuck you all.
I stopped at the 7-Eleven on 722 State Rd and I think 3 different waves of emergency vehicles came screaming by, some from the new Hospital. It was dark and I couldn't quite tell what kind of vehicles they were, but I saw atleast a few firemen in personal vehicles with blue lights.
Just curious, thanks!
Hey everyone, sadly I need to rehome my kitten due to her and my dog not getting along and constantly having to keep them separated. It’s just unfair to keep them both.
She is 9-10 weeks old, litter trained and is very sweet, energetic and playful! She is all black if that matters.
She is completely free btw with a brand new cat carrier and litter box
I took Monday off to take advantage of the veterans day offerings. I have a list of national chains offering discounts and freebies, so I'm good with those.
Good Life is giving away a free scoop to veterans on Saturday and Sunday
Are there any other local businesses with veterans day offerings?
Any recommendations on where to buy hand raised hamsters in the Lancaster area? I'm looking for hand/home raised because I understand that produces the friendliest hamsters. I don't know much about the hamsters at That Fish Place - any thoughts on adopting from there? (FYI, I am experienced with hamsters and have an ethical and enriching enclosure prepared 😊)
Thanks for your responses!
The Lancaster County Coffee roastery and cafe space on E Ross just put in a nice new beautiful window! I was told they are adding additional seating too. Nice to see a cafe in this part of the city where things are a little more residential! Now if they would only start selling pastries… 🥐 🤞
According to the head of school, Matt Micciche, "As you may have heard, this morning at 11:15am, our Upper School students staged a walkout. US classes have been cancelled for the rest of the day; however, we are providing supervised spaces for students until dismissal at 3:00 p.m."
Does anyone have any information on this?
If anyone else is looking for an escape as much as I am right now, the Red Rose Film Festival is happening this weekend at Zoetropolis and Penn Cinema. Great indie films (a lot of them were made in Lancaster) and guest speakers.
Are the lights on Lime Street still timed so that if you go 27 mph you will hit one green after another? I was discussing traffic today and remembered this from years ago. Is it still true?
Title says it all. Where can I find the best meatball parm sub in the Lancaster or surrounding area? I'm talkin fresh/homemade roll, homemade meatballs, good parmesan cheese, good sauce. Lemme hear your suggestions. I want something really GOOD!
Remember how someone took the headlights and phone mount off my bike a couple days ago? Well they came back and broke part of my porch to take the bike now. If anyone sees a Zooz UU1100 probably with the chain still on, please let me knowphotos of the bike
Any Turkey trots I can apply for? Tryna start my fitness journey.
We are new to the area and will be enrolling our child in kindergarten at a Penn Manor school. As I understand it, Penn Manor only offers kindergarten for half of the school day. What are parents that work doing to cover the remainder of the day? Are there any programs, clubs, activities, etc that cover this?
I have a very anxious golden doodle that cannot be held in a crate during the grooming process. I’m looking for recommendations for someone that either grooms without crates or comes to my house?
Good morning. I'm just a dad trying to give his 8y/o son a good fishing experience since we left Jersey 4 years ago. Just wanted to get decent suggestions for viable fishing for bass/crappie and others. I know people tend to keep their favorite holes for themselves and that's ok, so I'm just hoping for good suggestions that disappoints kids a lot less than an empty bucket. Thank you.
Hello, I was raised Catholic but I don’t believe in some of there views. Im Pro choice, believe LGBTQ should be able to get married in church if they want, and I’m definitely not a Trump supporter, etc I would like to get my daughter baptized in Lancaster. Does Saint Neumann Catholic Church support Trumps views? Any Catholic Churches that are liberal? Is Saint James church more liberal? What churches do you recommend?
I've been struggling to connect with other musicians in Lancaster county who write, record, and perform original music. I'm not a fan of spending much time on social media and I was surprised that there wasn't a sub already, so I made one called r/lancpa_original_music
This is specifically for original musicians to connect and share, look for others to collaborate with, discuss the good, the bad, and the ugly about making and promoting original music, and generally just get to know other folks in the scene. If you're a musician, producer, promoter, or venue that supports local original music, please check it out. Thanks!!
With the recent closure of High Spring water in Lititz, I'm searching for a new source.
I'm trying to avoid the drinking water dispensers commonly found outside of grocery stores and such. Please no roadside springs (many are not considered safe)
Thanks!
Okay, after typing that out ...lol anyway. Friend is having a rough time and i want to take them somewhere to air out the chords a little. Yes that stupid facebook meme, but if it helps relieve stress to get it out, i want to help.
Is it just me or are there fewer hotels in Lancaster than there should be? Every time we try to book hotel by points there are many options in Harrisburg, Reading, Philadelphia, even Hershey. But never Lancaster.
Also, seats in the Sights and Sound theatre are impossible to book for weekend shows.
Anyone have good recommendations for where to get good caramel apples?
Looking to get a pair of pants tailored which I need for a wedding next weekend. Does anyone happen to know any tailors in the Lancaster city area that could get a job done in a few days to a week?
