Dark places in Williamsport

I am a stargazer and dabble in astrophotography. So I am wondering where are some dark spots in Williamsport that are good for stargazing? I already know about Cherry Springs and I love it there, but I don’t want to have to drive an hour and half every time I want to be under the skies that are not burdened by light pollution.

Auto service shops

Does anyone have some recommendations for a reputable auto shop around here? I’ve been to the same place a few times, but recently I can’t help but feel like I’ve been getting ripped off (especially as a girl who doesn’t know much about cars), and would like to get a second opinion from somewhere trustworthy

Paintball In The Area?

Does anybody know if there's any paintball fields nearby (<40 minute drive). Magfed paintball is one of my hobbies and when I lived in Lancaster I used to go to Ambush Airsoft & Paintball which was about 30 minutes from where I lived. I was wondering if there was anything similar up here aswell.

Laser eye surgery?

Anyone in this area have experience with laser eye surgery? Where did you go and what about were the costs? I'm thinking you'd have to travel somewhere out of the area for it?

Rental Situation

Hello!

I am a college student from Oregon State University and I am considering applying for a summer internship with Little League's corporate headquarters. I was hoping to gain some information on the rental/housing situation. Could someone please advise me on how competitive rentals are during the summer, affordability (I can pay up to about $1250 a month if needed, but I'd prefer to save money), and if month-to-month rentals are common?

Of course I'll do research on sites such as apartments.com as well, but if you have any tips or even general information about the area (I have never been to Pennsylvania so this is foreign to me), I'd greatly appreciate it!

Places people hangout?

I’m kind of antisocial and I have a huge amount of social anxiety, but I’ve been trying to force myself to be more out there, and do things that scare me, just wanted to know if there’s any place people just hang (besides bars), like card shops, or anything in that aspect, it would be dope to meet people who have similar interests

Any dentist recommendations?

Looking for a dentist within Williamsport area, or even as far south of Wilpo as Lewisburg/Selinsgrove - I live in the middle of Selinsgrove and Williamsport

Nothing too involved outside of basic 6 month cleanings! Must also accept Highmark but I can always follow up on recs to verify.

Who do you all like?

TIA!

Update: HOLY MOLY - thank you all so very much for the recs. I wasn’t expecting this much insight and I really appreciate it.

I’ve been going to my dentist (Harrisburg area) forever so ‘breaking up with them’ is kinda hard haha. I’ll be going through these recs later today

Thanks again, neighbors!

Vintage stereo receivers for sale

Hi all, figured I’d post here. I have some vintage stereo equipment for sale. Have a kid on the way and need to lighten my collection to make some space. Here is what I have available:

Pioneer SX-780 receiver

Pioneer SX-580 receiver

Craig 1504 Mid century modern stereo

The 780 is cosmetically rough on the case/veneer, but functional. Great candidate for a cabinet rebuild The 580 is nicer, has one small veneer defect. Fully functional.

The Craig is a strange rare stereo piece that is just cool all around.

If interested feel free to reach out and can provide photos/prices. Thanks
