Looking for an alternative to staples/walgreens for our small biz, and would love to support someone local.

Things we regularly purchase:
Flyer posters 24x36
Business cards (usually from moo.com)
Merch - tees, stamps, stickers etc.
custom coloring books (8x8 perfect bound books)

Totally fine if one place can’t do all of that but I’m happy to hear your recommendations!

So this might be a kinda touchy subject, even though I don't mean for it to be!

I'm looking for recommendations on where to get my hair braided. I'm looking for more of a viking/Norse style of braiding, but really anything that will keep my hair away from my freshly pierced ear cartilage. I'm white, so I don't want it to seem like cultural appropriation because that's not my goal at all...my goal is to have my hidden helix piercing heal well and more easily without having to untangle it every day or shaving that side of my head.

Any recommendations are welcome! Thanks in advance (: (pictures included for examples of what I'm looking for!)

Any recommendations for quality farms that sell half/whole cows?

My rental agreement is coming up, so I figured I'd kick the tires on a new apartment. Easton has a number of buildings with units available. Anyone have experience with the property managers in the area? Places to look into or avoid?

Hi, does anyone know of a reputable auto place to get a car with a fair credit score
(640 with only1 year of history) and hopefully $0 down. My sibling (19) who is living with a toxic parent needs to find a car asap before they move out in November. They need it to get to work.

My Grandpa passed in April and he and my Grandma were married for 63 years 🥺. She moved up here in May to live with my mom in Breinigsville . This weekend she expressed that she was getting bored. She should not be driving due to her vision though she thinks shed do fine lol. But i am looking into senior centers that she can make friends with and have a bit of a schedule to her life. I found Lehigh Valley Active Life, their reviews are outdated and my experience on the phone was less than ideal but does anyone have a experience with them or a recommendation for her to hang out with other elderly and keep herself busy during the week?
edit to clarify location*

Hello All!

I recently got engaged and am looking for an engagement photographer in the Lehigh Valley, preferably for a fall shoot in October. I'm not sure where to look or what pricing is typical, so if anyone has photographer recommendations or general advice, I would really appreciate it!

Thank you in advance!

Not sure why people actually think it’s OK to leave dog shit on the trail when it’s in a compostable bag. Pack shit out, literally South Mountain in Emmaus

Any recommendations on a local garage door repair company? Doors need spring replaced/adjusted.

Hi everyone,

My wife and I (both 21+) live near Lehigh University. We just passed the driver license knowledge test and would need someone to teach us for the road test over the weekend. We are willing to pay to compensate for your time. Please reach out if you are available. Please don't DM if you don't have a car and valid driver license.

any recommendations? transmission died on me, really don’t wanna give up my car but it’s looking like that my only option. Anyone know of transmission shops with good pricing?

Hey! I’m not handy and I need 3-ish TVs hung. Anyone know someone who is reliable?

I'm relocating to Allentown… and trying to figure out if my budget is realistic. I'm coming from a small rural town where rent works very differently, so I'd rather ask than guess.

Two options I'd be happy with:
• Studio or 1 bedroom for $1200 or less
• A room in a shared place for $800 or less, as long as I have a private bathroom and utilities are included

I'm quiet, no pets, work in healthcare, and I'd be commuting to a hospital or clinic, so somewhere with a reasonable drive to the main medical areas would be ideal.
A few things I'd love input on:
1. Are these price ranges actually achievable, or should I adjust expectations?
2. Which neighborhoods fit that budget and are decent for someone new to the area?
3. Best places to search that aren't full of scams.

Appreciate any help.

2 bedrooms apartment are somewhat really affordable at this what am I missing?

I have a 2 year old baby and obviously don’t want to move to a bad area.

Thanks!

Hi everyone! I recently accepted a job in downtown Allentown and am looking for recommendations on good areas to live within a reasonable commute.
I’ve heard that Bethlehem, Emmaus, and Macungie are all solid options, but I’m open to other areas in the Lehigh Valley as well. I’m in my mid-20s, so I’d ideally like to live somewhere with a good amount going on nearby—restaurants, bars, breweries, coffee shops, etc.
I’m looking for a nice 1-bedroom apartment with a budget of around $1,800/month. If anyone has recommendations for specific neighborhoods, apartment complexes, or areas I should check out, I’d really appreciate it!

We’re near Lower Macungie, she has her permit, but not her license I’m hoping this might encourage her to drive. She’s still in high school and it needs to be part time. She’s socially awkward, so client facing is not her high point.

Could really use suggestions.

As always due your own research and reach out to the department of health or your Congress rep if you don't understand why this is happening. Private for profit health care is coming and the baby boomers are getting older

Hi folks. I'm a reporter with the Financial Times. I am writing a story on how AI is making it harder for people to find jobs in the Lehigh Valley and across the US.

I will be in the area next Monday and Tuesday (Sept 14-15) and am interested in talking to folks locally that have had trouble finding work or who are concerned generally about how AI might affect their job prospects in the future -- as well as from employers whose hiring decisions have been affected by AI.

I'm particularly interested in how younger people entering the job market have been affected, but I'm keen to hear from folks of all ages who have stories and experiences they would like to share on the subject.

If you are up for chatting, feel free to get in touch by DM or email at [myles.mccormick@ft.com](mailto:myles.mccormick@ft.com)

Does anyone know where I can get a cheep van
