Me and my partner recently relocated to Williamsport due to career changes. What are some fun places to explore the area, favorite places to eat and drink, nice places to hang out?
The boys and i wanna go to a bar where we wont get kicked out for playing rap music on the jukebox
Is there an area around that has lights at night where I can go running at night with my dog? I know lock haven has a river walk that has lights but anywhere closer?
Does anybody know any alternative schooling in the area?(not online). I’ve been looking into riverrock but see very little reviews about it.
I'm looking for used Stephen King books. Any advice on where to get used books in town? Thanks!
I'm eighteen and have been in the goth/punk subculture since like seven. I'm looking for interesting people to make friends with.
I am looking to get in shape by running stadium steps or public access steps. I did it when I was young & lived somewhere else. The local schools would allow anyone to run the steps.
Are there any stadiums open for public use to run the steps? Or, is there a tall steep set of stairs anywhere? Or, last resort, is there a tall steep (safe & low traffic) hill anywhere?
Thanks for any help.
Why is it that families staying in hotels can’t watch there kids. They go around disturbing guests and destroying hotel property.
Hi everyone, my boyfriend is currently up for a job near Williamsport and we are trying to make a decision on moving there from Denver, Colorado. We are two gay men so we are hoping to find a relatively accepting place in Pennsylvania if needed and be able to save money on living costs for a few years.
We are trying to figure out if Williamsport would be okay for us and have things to do. Understandable that there will be some culture shock from Denver, I've never lived outside of Colorado myself! Any advice would be appreciated, our other option was a job in Seattle but the costs are mounting for that sort of move. Thank you in advance!
Me and my boys got into lego the past few years. We are looking for part lots or any old ones you may have around you no longer want.
They are pricey in stores so on a little budget.
Thanks
Anywhere to get rent bikes for the day to try out the rails to trails?
Teen job, no experience (first job.)
Anyone know anything, I ideally would like to work in a restaurant. I apply for most I see but usually they don’t get back, I like the social part of jobs
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.
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
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.
I need friends
online student nobody really talks to, Regardless of age, 16m needs a friend
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?
Does anyone have any recommendations for dermatologists in the area?
Was just like this in person, but with very diminished colors. Still a sight to see!
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!
In need of renting a wheelchair accessible van in the area, but a Google search is coming up short. Anyone know of any companies/hospitals that rent them? Please and thank you!
I’ll be up in Williamsport over the weekend and am looking to do some recreational hammocking - not planning on camping. Hoping to enjoy the fall weather and relax. Does anyone have good recs for places to set up? Thanks!
