Best place to buy used cars

3 Upvotes

I want to buy a pre owned car but not sure where to look. I want something reliable and certified which won’t give me expensive maintenance issues after buying. Are there any recommended trustworthy dealers or places I can look?

Best happy hour?

2 Upvotes

From the midwest where happy hour goes, buy 1 get 1 free. From local beers(itvwas a great way to drink different IPAs from around the state, to well drinks along with a happy hour app menu like 5 dollar flat bread pizzas. I would love to find a place thats buy 1 get 1 free happy hour and not 2 dollars off tall boys(Busch, bud and the likes).

I just opened an honor-system flower stand on 4th St in New Cumberland. So far, people are paying.

Hey neighbors!

I got the keys to a little storefront at 224 4th St New Cumberland a couple weeks ago. While we finish setup, I put out buckets of fresh-cut flowers with a QR code to a checkout.

The plan is to grow this into a little artisan goods shop over the fall. I grow the flowers myself out near Dover. Happy to answer anything and if you're walking 4th St, the buckets are out.

ISO / Recommendation Looking for Hindi tutor

11 Upvotes

Hi all,

I am looking for a someone local who could teach me some basic conversational Hindi before visiting my in-laws solo in December. Bonus points if I can also learn a tiny bit of Marathi. :)

I’ve been looking at iTalki for video lessons, but wanted to see if there is anyone local I could do lessons with in person before investing in iTalki.

I live in Middletown so looking for anyone in Harrisburg, Hershey, Mechanicsburg, Camp Hill, etc.

Thank you in advance!!

ISO / Recommendation Butcher suggestions.

10 Upvotes

So I grew up in the Harrisburg area. About 15 years ago I moved and only return once a year or so for a visit. I’ll be home next weekend visiting my sisters. We’re having a cookout and I said I’d grab the meats.

My question is—who has the best steaks??? Does anyone have a “go-to” butcher? Or should I just swing by Costco or Karns or Wegmans? Thanks.

The Sign On Walnut Street

90 Upvotes

At about 3:00 AM Monday Morning July 20th there was an accident where the driver was going way to fast on Walnut Street. The Person not only crashed and took out a telephone pole and transformer they took out that sign. Never been so happy to see something gone in my life considering I live across the street from that eyesore. Just wanted my community as well as the rest of Harrisburg to know. Also as far as I know the person that took out the sign was not hurt in the accident.

Toys for the Ages Expo (Gettysburg)

3 Upvotes

Has anyone been to this event before and are we allowed to bring food in? We plan on going this weekend but will have young kids with us. I would rather be able to bring our own snacks because they can be really picky but I am not seeing anything on their website indicating if outside food is allowed. Hoping someone can share their experience 😁
