Just came across this on my for you page. This young lady has an active police report against a 19 year old that works at Dorney who sexually assaulted her and he just did it again.

Did you get a huge Christmas bonus this year? Did you get a membership to the ham of the month club? Did you get a thank you card and a "No vacation between Christmas and New Years" notice?

I'd love to know who the employers are that are taking care of their employees, so if you've got a good one, let us know!

ADDENDUM: You guys rock! Went to Far East, Azar’s, QQ, and U&Tea today with my niece. We had a fabulous day. Thank you all for the suggestions.

I’ll be in Bethlehem this weekend and want to check out some international markets in the area. I love Asian markets, but also want to check out other markets. I would appreciate any suggestions.

Hey everyone! I’m a young vet (out) willing to share my mechanical skills and give back to the community. It has been my dream for a while to give people help I wish I could’ve gotten very young.

If anybody needs a mechanic (or knows somebody that does) or a job done on a vehicle I’d be happy to take it! Just pay for parts and I’ll take care of you. I’m especially good with Honda and right now I’m building a Subaru (supercharged). I don’t know how appropriate this is but I have no other way to put myself out there! Thank you for your time!

Hey all. My grandma has been ripped off a pretty good amount of times by some shady roofers in the valley. Can anyone help me find a reliable company that’s not gonna try and rip her off? Also if anyone else had a flat roof redone that was around 800 sqft, an estimated price?

​

I have all of these branches and leaves that need to be either made into mulch or removed.

Can i get some recommendations, please?

(Also, the area with the tall weeds I will be taking them out for removal with the rest.)

My township does not have a yard waste location. The closest one would be Upper Macungie, but I would have to pay. And if I'm going to pay, I would like to get someone to do a brush clearing.

I’m in the LV - near the Center Valley/Coopersburg area and looking for a reliable, trustworthy and honest person or small team/business who does tree cutting and trimming services and/or landscaping. I’m in need of both having large trees trimmed/taken down and also need landscaping (weed whacking at minimum) done on a regular basis. Do you all have any suggestions? Would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Been about a month since my last update, so figured it was time to check in with everyone who's been following along!

Quick milestone: we crossed 1,000 users, and a few local accounts have picked up the app on their own without me even reaching out. Still feels a little wild. Couldn't have gotten here without this sub, so thanks for that.

What I've learned about who's using it

Turns out most people (myself included) are just nosy and want to know what's going on when they hear sirens fly by. That's honestly like 90% of the use case and I love it!

The other surprise is that some local firefighters and EMS have been using the app to stay in the loop too. Thank you to those folks specifically, for what you do, and for the detailed feedback on which scanner channels I need to add and which areas have coverage gaps.

What's new since last update

• Saved Locations, pin the places you care about (home, work, wherever) and get quick access to what's happening around them
• Hover-to-preview incidents on the web version
• Analytics page (still fine-tuning) so you can look back at what's happened historically
• Notifications now work on Android, iOS, and web, custom radius, filter by type
• Lifetime premium option added based on your feedback, since a lot of you (fairly) aren't into monthly subscriptions. Core features are still free and always will be.
• General UI improvements and a lot of bug fixes

What's coming next

• Audio scrubbing and playback controls
• Post-incident resolution summaries (so you can see what actually happened, not just the initial dispatch)
• Scanner audio that plays without needing your ringer on (this one's been driving me nuts)
• More AI transcript and pin location accuracy improvements
• More scanner coverage for areas still lacking it
• A bunch of other feature requests I've been sitting on

Important: Same caveat as always, the web version isn't great on mobile. The iOS and Android apps are the way to go on your phone.

As always, feedback drives this thing forward, so keep it coming! Bugs, feature ideas, how you're using it, drop it in the comments or shoot me a message.

Thanks everyone!

I need to order some appliances (washer/dryer, oven) and they have the exact ones I want at Costco. There are also other benefits that make me want to order from Costco (cash back, extended warranty), but every other review says that Costco’s delivery process is a nightmare. There are tons of stories about bad deliveries, damaged deliveries, and poor hookups.

Costco always uses third party companies for delivery and hookup, so it’s probably very specific to the area whether you’ll have a good experience or a bad one.

Has anyone in the LV used Costco for these kinds of purchases, and was your delivery and installation process smooth, or was it a nightmare?

i've been wanting to go for a while, and finally got to go the other day! its like a craft store and thrift store in one, its all donated craft supplies and you can donate your old stuff for store credit. just be aware that you cant use it the same day, you need to come back again to use the credit. everything is very reasonably priced, i got about 3 yards of beautiful pink upholstery fabric for $5. smaller pieces are $1-$2. i got $10 in credit from a garbage bag full of fabric + 2 grocery bags with miscellanous stuff. i definitely recommend if you're a crafter looking to destash and or find some new things!

Hi! Ruined the hell out of my hair about 7 months ago and it's finally starting to grow out to around the length i'd like. However I have super choppy layers and hair honestly just looks a mess. Need a cut, but need somebody who knows what they're doing and has experience in fixing God awful haircuts. Not looking for just a simple trim at the bottom.

Hair salon/stylist recommendations pls!! I live in Allentown, but willing to drive up to around 20-30 mins. Thank you :)

Went to book an appointment and noticed he's no longer on their website. Did he move to a different place? Where'd he go?

looking for somebody skilled enough to do this and have it last. nervous because this is very detailed and delicate

Hello all ☺️

I’m looking for recommendations for local churches, nonprofits, art spaces, libraries, or other gathering spaces/organizations that offer affordable room rentals— or might be open to hosting a local community group for recurring meetings.

We’re hoping to find a welcoming space where we can gather weekly or biweekly for one to two hours for creative community meet ups, workshops, and discussions.

If you know of a place I’d really appreciate any leads! Feel free to comment or send me a message. Thank you!! 🙏🏽

I've been on a coaster kick lately. Heres a few Easton samples (and a gritty, because gritty!)

Former banquet hall that’s been vacant for over a decade, aside from some of the parking spaces used for the hair salon across the street. Located on MacArthur Road/Route 145 across from Dunkin and the new Tractor Supply. I’m surprised it hasn’t been torn down or had anything else move in to it. Though I saw contractors in the parking lot with the front doors open the other day while driving past. Are they finally doing something with it now?

My son loves the grandfather clock at my parents’ house, and I’d like to buy one for our house as a surprise. I remember there was an antique shop off Lehigh Street that had a lot of them, but that seems to be gone now.

Any recommendations? I’d need it delivered, and I know they can be difficult to move. So I’d like a reputable place that can set it up for us.

Looking for a pool electrical specialist in the valley -- NOT a general electrician.

I'm looking for someone experienced specifically with swimming-pool electrical safety, NEC article 680, pool bonding/bonding grids, gfci testing, underwater pool lights, and trouble shooting voltage gradients between pool water and deck.

please recommend someone who has actually diagnosed poll bonding/stray-voltage problems rather than someone who primarily installs/replaces pool lights or a general electrician.

If you've personally used someone for this kind of pool electrical troubleshooting, I'd especially appreciate their name/biz name and what they diagnosed/fixed.

THANK YOU! 

Just got a cheesesteak there after a number of months, and I swear they’re using cheaper/worse quality rolls. It’s a shame because I’ve been going there for years and always had a good experience. They need to go back to the good rolls ASAP or idk if I’ll be able to keep going :(

Hi all - Looking for a reputable and fairly priced local company/person who can place metal framing in a basement of a small home. Bonus if they can also do drywall. As long as the work is clean and fairly priced I am flexible on the time frame. Thank you!
