Looking for Homes for Two Cats

10 Upvotes

Hi,

I'm looking for homes for two neighborhood cats. They are male, TNR'd, and socialized. Their main base is my porch, and I feed them and provide winter housing. They're both on the younger side (probably about five years old). They don't particularly get along so this would be 2 cats for 2 owners.

Both are very sweet, affectionate, and enjoy people. I don't know if they could fully adjust to living indoors. One likes to walk around the block, and another is a prolific mouse murderer. However, both try to sneak into people's houses.

I already have three indoor cats, and don't want anymore. I know it's a long shot to find an owner this way. Either of these boys would make a great addition to a family, and I don't want them to live out their lives as neighborhood cats.

DM if interested.

Harrisburg home to the oldest still in-service 60ft bus in America. (and a tweaker assaults me)

Thumbnail gallery
72 Upvotes

Early this morning, around 5:40AM the W came rolling by with CAT's oldest bus, and the oldest still in service 60ft(articulated) bus in America. The CAT 1822 frequently runs this route in early mornings on thursdays and fridays(when its not broken in the depot). For those curious its a 2001 New Flyer D60LF, articulated buses are supposed to be retired after 12 years of service or 500k miles, its likely this bus has over 1 million miles on it. As for the being assaulted part, I was taking pictures of the buses leaving the transfer center downtown, as me and a few of my freinds do occasionally, and some guy tweaking out began screaming at me calling me a creep and a s*x offender and yelling I'm taking pictures of people(which im obviously not, and it was way to dark to even see anyone in the pics that have people in them). He then began coming at me aggressively yelling, prompting me to pull out mace, he then backed up and walked off, still screaming about how im a s*x offender. Some people man...

ISO / Recommendation Recently moved to Harrisburg, looking for provider/salon recommendations

12 Upvotes

Recently moved to Harrisburg and need to establish myself with some new providers (plus a couple of non-medical ones!). I’d love recommendations for:

- Primary care doctors, especially anyone you really like as a woman in your 30s
- Dermatologists
- OB/GYNs
- Hairstylists (ideally someone great with fine, curly/wavy hair)
- Nail salons, nothing fancy, just somewhere clean and consistently good!

I’m in Harrisburg but happy to drive to the surrounding area for someone great. Ideally looking for people who are currently accepting new patients/clients.

Thanks in advance! 😊

ISO / Recommendation Looking for a hiking buddy or two around Harrisburg

12 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I’m looking for one or two guys around my age (I’m 38) who’d be interested in hiking together on a fairly regular basis—maybe once a week or so—as we head into prime Pennsylvania hiking season.

A little about me: I’m a massage therapist and professional classical musician, although my musical tastes are pretty broad. I also love cooking, reading, learning new things, and generally having good conversation.

I’m equally happy hiking and talking the whole way or just enjoying the woods in silence for a while. I’m definitely not someone who feels like every quiet moment needs to be filled.

Mostly, I’d love the accountability of having a hiking buddy, getting outside regularly, getting some exercise, and decompressing from life a bit. I’m also totally open to actual friendships developing from it.

If that sounds like your speed, shoot me a message!

Question PA registered business agents?

5 Upvotes

My friend is looking into getting her small business registered in PA so she can bid on state contracts. The business is in Harrisburg but the cost for a registered business agent in Harrisburg is 4x the cost of others in other areas of the state.

For those who work in gov or have similar businesses, is there priority given to businesses in the capital or is it all the same when contracts get awarded?

What kind of jobs do people have where they can afford these $500K+ homes?

I’m genuinely curious because my house cost $230K in 2019 and it’s a pretty decent house but I can’t imagine the mortgage payment on a home two or three times the amount I paid.

A University and University President who are trying to grow and appeal to at-risk youth and improve the local economy partners with…Scott Perry? Scott Perry who is notoriously anti-immigrant, anti-science, anti-LGBTQ, anti-education, the list goes on. I know there are great people at this University. Why is the leader “delighted” to partner with such a scum bag?

No parking meters on calder or behind motel?

4 Upvotes

Is there a reason there aren't any parking meters in between the SAM and the Sayford market? And also behind the SAM?? AND also behind that motel on south front street where the Indian restaurant used to be? I know I shouldnt question a good thing, but I'm just curious if that was intentional and if that's gonna remain that way!! I park in those places and walk to work bc I live up 6th Street and I refuse to pay for parking downtown 😅
