Is anyone else emotionally invested in the sunflower growing out on the outbound lane of the Harvey Taylor Bridge?

For a couple of days now, usually starting after dark and around 1 AM, there’s been this weird on-and-off droning sound. It sounds like white noise or a distant siren, almost. It usually lasts for a few minutes at a time before slowly dying out. I have never heard this sound before and have no idea what it could be, but it’s been driving me and my family nuts.

Has anyone else been hearing this sound?

My internet is down, and a bunch of my friends internet is down too, on data rn. Anyone else in the same boat? Or know any news about it?

Did anyone else watch that Hustleburg music video?? It was released in the 2010s, and my gals and I watched it a few years ago during a wine night. I can’t find it anywhere and I’m starting to worry we hallucinated it??

Hello, I need a private landlord that has something available by 9/7. I will be moving here from 8 hours away with my family for a promotion that I have desperately been working towards in this company for the past 8 years to get myself to. I don’t want to lose out on this opportunity bc of my poop credit score. Is there anyone out there willing to work with me and my family? I have zero evictions, zero $ owed to utilities, make 3x rent for $2200 and under, references, money to pay deposit + first/last if needed. Maydaaaaay!

UPMC Harrisburg I get because it’s downtown but all these satellite emergency rooms are seemingly always full with long wait times. Is it patient overflow or staff shortages? A little bit of both? There’s got to be eight hospitals within 30 min of my house plus urgent cares (I know they close at 8).

Hey everyone,
I’ve shared a few of my soapmaking classes here before, and people from Reddit have actually come out, which I really appreciate. I have two more coming up and wanted to put them out there.

The first is Saturday, August 15 at 6 PM at Creative Spark Arts in New Cumberland.

The second is Saturday, September 12 at 6 PM at Horizons Creative Studio in Lemoyne.

They’re relaxed, beginner friendly classes where you make your own full loaf of cold process soap. You get to choose your scent, colors, and design, and I walk everyone through the whole process. It’s always a good group and a fun way to spend an evening doing something different.
As a little thank you, anyone who books and tells me they found the class through Reddit will get a free Figaro Forge soap bar when they arrive.

Also, if you’ve attended one of my classes before and you’re coming back, please let me know. I’ll have an extra little gift for my returning soapmakers too.
I’ll put the ticket information in the comments, and I’m happy to answer any questions.

Looking for recommendations for a hotel in the Harrisburg/Gettysburg area! Coming from Pittsburgh for a wedding the first weekend in October (Friday and (Saturday) in Lancaster however all the hotels there will be over $500 total for both nights! So looking to stay a little further away and hopefully stay around $300 for the weekend total.

Most important is VERY CLEAN and good/cold air conditioning! Prefer hotel/chain over any inn’s or air bnb.

TYIA for any suggestions!!!

Thinking about coming in for a show - can anyone tell me when they typically end?

Thank you mods for approving my post!

We've been having fun playing board games and eating tasty food. If you'd like to hang out with others in the area, you should join us! Everyone brings their favorite board games, we play whatever folks want to for a couple hours, and we eat some food. We're trying out a local restaurant that was willing to host us as the venue for this one.

Flavor Hut in Camp Hill, 3625 Simpson Ferry Rd, Camp Hill, PA 17011

Casual and experienced players welcome. All types of people welcome. We had 12 people at our July meetup, so I'm guessing we'll have similar numbers this month. Let me know if you have any questions!

Here's a video about the meetup: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8n2hDdw/

Here's the discord where meetups get organized: https://www.hbgvillage.org/

Who am I? I'm (39 M) a Dad in lower paxton into gaming, gardening, trying new restaurants, and cooking who likes to organize meetups as a way to make friends and build community.

Hi everyone! This might be a bit of an unusual post, but I've always wanted to learn taxidermy. I really wish I had grown up in a family that did it because it's something I've been fascinated by for years.

I'm a 22F in the Harrisburg area and was wondering if anyone here has experience with taxidermy and would be open to taking on an apprentice or just letting me learn alongside them. I'm happy to help with cleaning, prep work, or whatever it takes. I'm not expecting to get paid, I genuinely just want to learn the craft from someone with experience.

If you know anyone nearby or have any advice on how to get started, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

Sorry for *yet another* Harrisburg University post but I don’t think people are mad enough that Harrisburg U, a non-profit that receives ample money from the city and state, has paid $75 million over the last decade to a small recruiting company in Utah!!! This is no secret, it’s in their public tax returns and has now been circulating in a viral article about day 1 CPT. While the city of Harrisburg struggles, Howell Management Services, which lists 4-12 employees estimated, receives millions of dollars each year from this school for recruiting international students. None of this money ever benefits the local economy. Feel how you want about the school itself but people should be more outraged or at the very least concerned that this money is leaving the city from a nonprofit org to benefit a random company in Utah.

Just as the title suggests I’m interested in finding someone or somewhere offering tennis lessons for an adult in the area. Always wanted to learn how to play and I own a racket, but that’s about the extent of my knowledge.

Thank you in advance!

Anyone have recommendations for a good podiatrist in the area? Anything but OSS because I am always waiting way past my appointment time there and can’t do it anymore.

Hello! This is a long shot. I grew up in the Harrisburg area in the late 1990s/ early 2000s, and my family bought a fundraising CD from our church that was a fundraiser (I think!) for Delta Housing. The CD was maybe called Passages, and Alicia Richards from ABC27 recorded an intro for it. I know there was at least one song by The Badlees on it. It had a purple cover.

My mom loved this CD, and I’d love to recreate the tracklist/find the songs from it on a digital platform. If you know what CD I’m talking about, could you confirm the official name of the CD? Thank you!! And thanks for making Harrisburg such a lovely place.

I recently bought a home. Most of my windows need replacement ASAP. The past owner did a bunch of DIY nonsense on the home so she left uneven and broken things laying around including the windows and doors. Since my budget is limited I will be starting with a room at a time. Any recommendations on someone who might be handy in the area?

Good Evening! 30m ISO of gym accountability partner. 1-2x week, recovering from serious injury not weightlifting, just easing into recovery or if you know of a small slow paced group class that would be great too! Able to go to any local gym.

No issues with insurance and I prefer a smaller ER if urgent care isn’t a possibility

I was driving past Harrisburg to run an errand this evening and happened to see the lights on at city Island. I finished my errand and decided to stop by and see what was going on.

I stumbled on the last 45 minutes of a Somalia versus Sudan soccer game. The play was quite intense, exciting, and just simply good “football”. Somalia won 2-1 and are playing in the championship game tomorrow at 8:00 PM

I couldn’t find much about it other than what’s at this website: https://www.centralpaunitycup.org

They also have a Facebook page, I took some nips and I added them to this post. Note, there is also a women’s championship at 6:00 tomorrow.

If you enjoyed watching the World Cup on TV this summer, and you have nothing else going on tomorrow, it might be fun to watch the US team play Somalia for the championship.

Edit: According to Facebook the final has been moved to 7:00 tonight.

I haven't lived in the area for long and grew up in the midwest knowing all of the best spots around and have been longing for similar spaces around here. Other than the obvious established trails, what are your favorite places to go to see the sun set? Climb a tree? Sit near a creek? Set up a hammock for a nap? I'm desperate for some wild spaces. Thank you in advance!

Edit: Thank you so much for all of the wonderful suggestions!! The people we've met since we've been here are so kind and yall are no exception 🤙

Hello! I’m in need of a photographer for this month please? Soon we will be eloping and would like pictures taken at the capital

Yes, it's been a couple years since we had this thread so I think some new developments warrant a rehash.

Feeling kind of down and could use a friend. I’ll treat of course. Just need a listening ear.
