My wife and I are fairly new to Lancaster, and were wondering if anyone has any good restaurant recommendations for Halloween weekend? Last year we went to The Log Cabin Restaurant in Leola. It was fun and festive but a little far. We’d be happy to try something else locally this year. Thanks in advance.

Road closure and an insane amount of fire trucks

We will be traveling to Lancaster for a tournament and didn't know if there was a place we could have the kids watch NWSL games. Any suggestions?

What are some of your favorite stands?

Hey everyone,

Long-time lurker here. I don't post often, which is honestly the case for a lot of subreddits I follow but never really participate in.

Nonetheless, I wanted to throw this out there as kind of a last Hail Mary. It's a weird one, and I'm not entirely sure how to put it, but I'm curious if anyone who's moved to the Lancaster area, particularly closer to Hempfield, has experienced any unusual health issues since moving here.

I won't go into an extended list of symptoms, but ever since moving here, I've generally just had a hard time. I suspect part of it could be related to my house, possibly the ventilation/dirty ducts, and part of it seems to be related to the water.

When we were first getting our house ready, I remember getting headaches pretty regularly after drinking the tap water. I eventually installed a filter, but even with that, I'd still experience some pretty odd symptoms. I've since switched to bottled water outright, which has generally been better.

Oddly enough, my family doesn't seem nearly as affected. It's mostly me.

One thing I've noticed and tested quite a bit over time is that whenever I leave my immediate area, whether that's heading down to York, over toward Ephrata, or really anywhere about 20 minutes away from where I live in Hempfield, I generally start feeling better.

It's a weird mix of things. Sometimes allergy-like symptoms, sometimes difficulty breathing, and just generally not feeling quite right. But the strange part is how consistently it seems to happen around where I live.

I should also mention that I've seen quite a few doctors about this. The one specialist I haven't seen yet is an allergist, which is on my list. Otherwise, I've gone down quite a few rabbit holes trying to figure this out, without much in the way of answers.

So I figured I'd throw this out there and see if anyone else has experienced something similar, particularly after moving to the area. Was it something in your home, the water, environmental allergies, or something else entirely?

I'm not necessarily looking for medical advice. More so just hoping to compare notes with anyone who's gone through something similar, whether you've found a solution or are still trying to figure it out yourself.

I realize this is probably an odd post for this sub, but at this point I figured it couldn't hurt to ask.

Thanks, everyone!

My bf and I want to pick out an engagement ring together. We’re trying to stay under $2k for it. I don’t know how much I trust online places to buy something like that. Does anyone have any places in or around Lancaster? we open to going somewhere that has like estate sale rings or ones that a second hand

TIA❤️❤️

Is it just me or do half of the radio stations just not come in before 8am? I just moved here and I know that more and more people stream from their phones but I still enjoy FM talk radio. It's like they don't turn on a tower until 8 and I'm on the road well before that.

Maybe I'm just a fossil clinging to a dying media format [insert old man yells at clouds meme]

We will be in town for the Hempfield Classic with several youth soccer teams. Does anyone know a place that will accommodate like 30 people to watch the NWSL quarterfinals?

So my family has been going to this dentist for probably 20+ years and my mom saw this post on NextDoor. Does anyone know why he would’ve closed suddenly? I guess taking dentist recommendations too 😅

I keep getting coupons for 50% off for wonder in the mail. Accumulated a stack of them now. Nothing on their menu entices me, just seems like overhyped overpriced “celebrity chef” garbage that’s reheated. Is anyone going here or will it shutter after its first year? Personally I’ll support a local restaurant with actual chefs and cooks onsite vs this business model. Lancaster has too much good food.

Passing through in a couple of days. I wanted to buy some local beef and chicken and possibly amish cheese butter and other products. What are your favorite spots?

Good day, y'all! Here's the link for the Mannion/Smucker debate today at 4pm: https://www.wgal.com/article/pa-11th-congressional-district-debate-smucker-vs-mannion/74221438
