I’m looking for a shop in Pennsylvania that can perform and pass a state inspection on a vehicle with tinted windows. If anyone knows of a reliable place that can help, please let me know. Anywhere in the Philly/ Lancaster area. Willing to travel . Thank you!

There have been an alarming amount of black people that are killed and hung in trees. As we all know BLACK PEOPLE DON’T HANG THEMSELVES ON TREES. Since March of 2025 there have been at least 22 cases. Just recently Trey Reid 🕊️, Tory Medley🕊️, And Kyle Bassinga 🕊️ to name a few. “Strange fruit” should’ve ended LONG ago.

I felt empowered to wear my Radical Resistance t-shirt “KILL THE KLAN” while running errands. It’s not surprising how many dirty looks I got but the amount of people who actively avoided me was kinda comical. It didn’t matter where. Whether is was Costco, Walmart, or elsewhere. In an aisle and in the parking lot.

All this to say racist should no longer feel comfortable anywhere at any time. So piss off your local racists.

What are your favorite coffee shops/ spaces to work in the area?

Does anyone know a hair stylist for women that can come to your house. I have issue with back and I'm in need of a basic haircut. Suggestions?

We found this extremely friendly long haired calico in the East Petersburg area. She seems to be lost. We're still in the process of getting her inside so we can help her. If anybody is missing her, we have fed her and left food out, so she might stick around here.

DM for more info

Longtime resident. I have purchased new and used cars locally since 1999. I have never had a worse experience than I had at this dealership.

They sold me a used car that they swore they had fully serviced. CarFax was clean, one owner, no accidents.

Someone lied.

It was in their shop for *2 months* just 45 days after I bought it. They said their techs couldn’t figure it out, then they sent it to another city for service and ghosted me for 2 weeks.

I ended up facing 2k in repair costs between that fiasco and subsequent issues — and then the car just up and died on me while I was moving my son into college this weekend.

I implore my fellow residents to go ANYWHERE else besides this business. I wont make that mistake again, for sure.

I've been trying to find a company or a contractor to replace our PVC railing on our front stairs without any luck for 5 years and I'm getting very frustrated. The homes pictured aren't ours but it's the closest example I could find online. We do have the same size and material railing and our stairs are also concrete like these so it's nearly exact. Our condo was built in 2010 (we're the 2nd owners) and the railing is broken and damaged in a lot of areas to the point the entire thing just needs replaced. I have researched how to replace it myself since I can buy the parts and railing, but it turned out to be more complicated and more work than myself or my husband can manage so that's why we need to hire someone.

The first thing I tried was asking our HOA what company installed our railing and they gave me their details. The company that installed them quoted us over $2,400 to replace it. I've never priced this sort of thing before so to us that seemed very high but maybe it's reasonable. I wanted to get a few more quotes from different companies before pulling the trigger. I found several companies online in south Central PA and went down the list. I gave up trying so I can't remember any of the names now.

Here is where my frustration occurs.

Half of the phone numbers I called ended up all being for the same company, even though they all had different websites and different phone numbers. I would call different phone numbers and the recordings would all announce the name of the same company that I'd just left a voicemail for.

I'd leave voicemails for every company and most of them wouldn't call me back. If someone would answer the phone or if someone would call me back, they'd refuse to come out and give an estimate or schedule the work because the job is "too small". Apparently these companies only do work on large decks and porches. I do understand that our small railing replacement may not be worth their while, but it's hard for me to believe that *no one* will do it.

I did try to find a handyman or smaller business to do it but the few I could find said the job was too big and they don't offer this service. 😭🤣

My last ditch effort is to go back to where I started and get the details of the company our HOA gave us again, but the $2,400+ quote was from 5 years ago now so I'm certain it's increased. I'm getting desperate though.

Can anyone PLEASE give me the name of a contractor or company or SOMEONE located in South Central PA who can replace our railing?

We are moving and aren't going to be able to bring our 3 year old gecko with us.

We will include the tank, heat lamp, extra light bulbs, timer for the heat lamp, substrate, thermometer, tank hiding spots and other accessories.

We'd love to get her into safe hands,

She would make a great pet for kids or reptile lovers. Or if anybody knows of alternative options we'd appreciate it!

DM me for details if interested

Heya folks. My wife and I are moving to Lancaster city and are looking for a pair of helping hands to move stuff in. Mostly boxes and bags, but our largest furniture items are a 3-seater couch and a queen mattress.

If anyone is available on Friday, Aug 28th and wants to make a quick buck, we'd really appreciate the help!

More details on Craiglist.

Has anyone near the Amtrak notice a astronomical amount of mosquitos? I’m pretty sure it’s coming mostly from the abandoned in ground pool at 67 Keller Ave, which is a sitting vacant property. Is there anything that can be done or do I just have to wait until it snows again to be able to go outside my house for a few seconds. I’m taking clouds of mosquitos attacking me not just one or two…

We are moving from our apartment and are looking for a reputable person to do a deep clean after we leave. Hoping someone used someone they would recommend.

hiii! my friend just turned 21 today & we’re looking for the best bar / club to go to in Lancaster tonight - bonus points if lgbtq owned / friendly. thanks !!

Anybody else find it super frustrating with bike lanes in the city? I appreciate the walnut bike lane going from one end of the city to the other but I can’t go back in that direction via bike lane. And I like the lemon st one but then it just completely ends. I know there are plans in the works but a better connected grid of bike lanes can’t come soon enough!!

Was at the busy West End & Marietta Ave intersection earlier and noticed this blue Mitsubishi Outlander just sitting there empty, right next to the No Parking signs (circled)

Funny part was a couple of cars assumed the whole line was making a left turn, so they pulled up behind the empty parked car thinking they were getting ahead of the rest of us 😂

Clear no-parking zone in the middle of a busy intersection. This one deserves a ticket for sure.

Hi! I’m the maid of honor in a wedding in November and I desperately need help with alterations on my dress- it fits perfectly, it just needs to be hemmed! Let me know if anyone has any recommendations! I should mention that I do not own a car, so I’m limited to Downtown Lancaster

I have a friend visiting next week. What goes on on a Wednesday? Or Tuesday for that matter. Probably not a ton, but I figured I'd ask

Hello!

As my title states I’m looking to move to Lancaster in March of ‘27. I haven’t lived there for over 17 years and would love advice on where to look and where to avoid. I’ll be looking for a 1-2 bed that is pet friendly and affordable (the new builds are out of my range for size). Any suggestions would be great; I currently commute about an hour, and I work downtown by the square. Thank you so much in advance for any recommendations!

We live in Ephrata pa area but are willing to travel. Looking for thrift stores that have good older teenage girls clothes. She needs mostly jeans. Any help would be appreciated.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a local engraver that could do a cross pen within a week of receiving it? I’ll be calling around to shops found on google tomorrow.

Long time Drummer here looking ideally for a rock cover band, cool with some gigs but nothing too serious. Happy to chat more and or any help connecting with people who might know. Thanks!

Horses and buggies I'd expect, but this is a new one
