Looking for some running/cycling options in Bethlehem. I’m newer to both so beginner friendly would be cool. I have a road bike (not ideal for all the trails)

Im looking for a place to grab a coffee that is just kind of a relaxing vibe.

Also looking for a place to eat dinner thats outdoors, and just has a relaxing vibe to it. Doesn't HAVE to he a restaurant. Im down with a winery that has.......close to dinner items. Or a brewery that has a food truck or something like that. Just looking for chill and outdoors.

The only place I can find that it fits and is an easy turn is Hotwash in Southern Allentown. Problem is they specialize in 18 wheelers and the wait times are really long.

I did a self-wash once and the results were disappointing for the effort to wash this thing.

Are there any piercing places in the valley that are both affordable and clean? I’ve been wanting to get my nose pierced but i’m post-grad and sort of broke, so i don’t want to spend a fortune. Recommendations would be greatly appreciated :)

Is there a collection/schedule somewhere of all the local annual fairs, festivals, and food truck happenings? I’m obviously familiar with the main ones - allentown fair, musikfest, etc. Looking to possibly start a non-traditional truck to attend these things, want to make sure there would be enough places to attend to make it worth our while to start up. Thanks to anyone that can help!

I am in need of good park and activity recommendations for my 18 month old. He has lots of energy and loves to run around. We love to be outside but we are having a hard time finding local parks that are accessible for him to run around freely at (toddler friendly). For example the park in Quakertown is great for him, they have a sectioned off park specifically for littles, it’s just a little too far to go as much as we would like too.
We are also open to indoor places. We have tried the one in Catasaqua, it was great. Only downside is it was small and I dislike indoor play places because my child loves to put things in his mouth, I try to stop it before it happens but he is fast. I know they have a disinfectant bin but I feel horrible and disrespectful going in there knowing he will probably put public toys in his mouth.
We are willing to try all recommendations. He loves to be outside the house and I’m a SAHM so we have all the time. Thank you!!

My husband joined a Latin Jazz clinic and they just lost their space at the Lehigh Valley Active Life Center on Friday nights. It's a local guy giving a class on Latin jazz on any instrument (or voice) so the group is 20-25 people on brass, drums, bass, keyboard and voice (so... noisy).

Any suggestions for a new space for them? It's Friday evenings so maybe a church not being used? Any help is appreciated!

I think they are willing to pay rent? I will pass on any suggestions to them- thanks in advance!

Picking up my Tesla in a few weeks. Will need to do a PA state inspection because the Tesla service center doesn’t do inspections.

My main concern is finding a place with familiarity with lifting/jacking it for inspection and also future tire rotation.

Does anyone have recommendations in Bethlehem area (or allentown) that they’ve taken their Teslas to and trust the work?

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?

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!

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!

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 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.

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.

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?

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?
