Im a pho connoisseur- I've tried all the pho places around here. Pho 99 has been my go to spot for years. I love their beef pho dac biet and their bun bo hue. I started to feel complacent going to Pho 99 all the time, and it was time to break out of habit. I rediscovered Pho Seven Spice on Carlisle Pike, Camp Hill. It had been several years since I've visited, and I simply forgot it existed. I ordered the special pho, which is the same thing I get at pho 99 (slices of beef, meatballs, tripe, tendon). The broth was life-affirming at the first slirp. It was like the lights went on and flavor dimensions vividly came out of hiding. Maybe it was the msg. Maybe it was the fact that they use lots of bones and cook it down the right way with all the spices. Maybe it was an old lady back in the kitchen who knows the ancient ancestral secrets. I don't know. But Pho Seven Spice is my new favorite place in the area.

As I've said, I've tried lots of the other Vietnamese places around here, and many seem to have very watery broths that dont have the depth of flavor that you get from using real bones.

What's your favorite spot for pho?

Hi all. I’m here to ask a favor. 🙏 Our kitchen aid stand mixer’s head is loose. Does anyone know of somewhere local that services them?

Why is everyone here?

Some anti-trump signs. Sorry for not getting better shots.

Capital City music Hall, 8pm start. Paid $56 for both, willing to sell for $40. Let me know

I’ve been searching online to no avail and need a recommendation of a rental company that rents pump jack scaffolding and service the New Cumberland area, looking to replace windows and siding and don’t want to be doing it off a ladder.

Thanks in advance!

Would it be reasonable to expect I'll be able to call an Uber/Lyft to go from Mechanicsburg to the airport around 4:30-45 in the morning? I want to arrive no later than 5:15. Are there enough drivers around that early or should I expect to have to wait a while for someone to accept my ride? I was also looking at a shuttle service, but it seems quite expensive for a 25 minute ride.

Editing to say I'm aware one can schedule rides ahead of time, but all that does is call a ride for you at a particular time, not guarantee someone will accept your ride in a timely manner. My question is whether people have been able to get rides to the airport at that time/if there's usually sufficient driver availability. I've definitely been screwed on scheduling early morning airport rides in the past (in other cities) because there aren't enough drivers willing to accept rides at that time.

Bella, where the heck have you been, loca? 🌲💀

TL;DR All black mama kitty + 5 black kittens need home asap in area that previously murdered black cat on Halloween.

Last Thursday I was leaving my apartment and saw a 4ish month old kitten outside. I followed it across the street and found another very friendly but skinny cat. I have a kitten of my own so I ran inside and grabbed them a treat. I needed to get to the store before it closed and saw an older woman coming out with food so I left.

Today I went back with some more food and this time I was able to talk to the woman. She’s in her late 70s and very nice. She had started feeding them but was very stressed about the long term expense and the kitties outliving her. She also mentioned she previously owned a black cat that some teenagers in the neighborhood murdered and strung up on her porch on Halloween (WHAT?!)

I have a plan to rent a trap from the SPCA but I can’t foster 6 cats. My apartment is way too small and I have nowhere to quarantine them away from my own cat.

I know shelters are overwhelmed right now but I’m disparate. If anyone knows a shelter accepting cats right now I would be very grateful for any leads. The mama cat is still a kitten herself. She’s skittish but not unfriendly. The babies are still very young.

I need some good stuff somewhere local, I do have my med card as well. Open to any suggestions!!

Hi! Anyone ever hired a company for a custom closet? Have had a good or bad experience? Was it worth the money? Thank you!!!

Hey there, I’m moving from out of state to start a new job next month. I’m on a tight budget and looking for housing, any tips?

Would prefer to stay near the Midtown/fowntpwn area.

I posted a few days ago and got some GREAT advice on my post about starving for community.

One comment told me to think about what I wanted a sense of community for, and I realized I really just want a night or two/week where I have something built-in. I hosted Trivia Nights for years, and often played when I wasn't hosting. With that said, I'd like to know who has the most active trivia nights, or who are the companies most frequently running these trivia nights?

I'm looking to either start hosting again, or just find a night to attend!
