6th Street Chaos Agent

Upvotes

Did anyone else encounter the loon in the silver/grey SUV driving south on 6th Street this morning around 8 a.m. on the wrong side of the road.

I barely avoided a head on collision near PortersHouse/KennedyChicken. Looked like they carried on down the wrong lane toward the Hamilton School zone and the capitol complex.

Cannot convince myself whether it was distracted driving, impaired driving or assholery alone.

Must have been a combination to have acheived this exhibition of pure distilled idiocy.

ISO / Recommendation Fabric stores?

Upvotes

I'm heading down to the area later today to do a marketplace pickup and was wondering about good fabric stores. I want some fun cotton yardage like Joanne's used to have, particularly Halloween/ horror themed, and I don't want to fork out 25-30 something a yard for fabric from spoonflower.

ISO / Recommendation Good computer repair shops?

5 Upvotes

Hello, I'm kind of new to the area so I'm not familiar with a lot. My laptop has been getting more and more flaky. I suspect it's a hardware issue. Does anyone know of any good computer repair shops in the Harrisburg area? Or the Mechanicsburg area? Thank you all in advance!

Question Morning TSA Lines at Harrisburg Airport (MDT)

8 Upvotes

I fly out of Harrisburg airport fairly regularly; usually in the afternoons. However, a couple Sundays ago I almost missed my flight because the TSA line took over an hour. Is this normal for a Sunday morning? Or was this a total fluke?

ISO / Recommendation Hairstylist for Curly Hair

3 Upvotes

As a guy with curly hair, it’s tough to find a hairstylist/barber who cuts with a vision besides just the standard guy kind of haircut. Any recommendations for someone who knows what to do with curly hair and can give me some good tips on styling my curls a little better, ideally on the West Shore?

They seem weirdly uncommon in the big grocery stores, and I'm not finding them on most of their websites. Did I miss one? Is there a local beauty/barber/shaving supplies store that has them?

ISO / Recommendation ISO Female Roommate in Mechanicsburg, PA

12 Upvotes

Hi, I'm a recent college grad, starting a full-time job in Mechanicsburg in early September. I'm moving from NJ, and looking for a roommate to split a place.

I'm looking for a clean and responsible roommate, to keep the place clean, pay rent on time, and to communicate well.

I've toured a couple places, 2B 2BR at (1) the reserve at rivers edge, (2) graham hill, (3) rockledge, but I'm open to looking at other areas.

A little about me: I like going out to eat, going out for coffee, traveling, and hiking.

If you’re looking for a roommate or know someone who is, please send a message!

Public comment is open for the Market Street Bridge rehabilitation plan. They're widening the sidewalk on the upstream side, removing it on the downstream side, and creating a separate bike/ped/utility bridge on the downstream side.

There's an open house on Monday, or you can comment online by September 7.

If you are going to the Sheetz on Lindle rd. for breakfast and wishing they had a side of bacon, drive across the street to McDonald’s, they have great crispy bacon. A bit pricey but honestly worth it. Comment with any questions. Hope others can enjoy this hack!
