Does haunted hollows have a lot of strobe lights this year? My boyfriend and I are looking for a Halloween attraction but he has epilepsy and flashing lights are a trigger, so finding one is hard. If they're only in a couple of places we can avoid its no issue but if they're everywhere we don't want to waste the $30 on something he can't enjoy

What on earth was that?

Hello,

We had a contractor out doing some unrelated work a few months ago, and we discussed a sagging header on a load bearing wall. He mentioned that it was built the way things were done in 1880 when the house was built and it probably wasn’t a concern. However, we think it is now becoming a concern.

The header is 2 boards, 1 inch thick each, laying flat instead of a solid board standing tall. It is bowing significantly. The reason we now believe it to be a concern is that we are putting in a new ceiling and the ceiling joists are actually sinking about an inch compared to the same joists near the exterior wall or the neighboring joists not on the header but Intrado on a direct stud.

Does anyone have recommendations on a contractor able to do this kind of structural repairs?

I'm going on a date to just go around seeing any business in downtown or around Johnstown at all. I was wondering what are some good shops, antique stores really anything at all. I don't need too many food suggestions because we already know most of the locally owned restaurants lol

I'm making this post to see if anyone would be interested in a meet up this today or this weekend. Let me know, I'm free all day.

Do you like playing bikes and seeing a bunch of really great sights around J-Town? The Higher Ground cycling event is going down in 10 days and benefits the Women's Help Center. The climbs are as brutal as a Norwegian Death Metal band!

I just started knitting and need some help (in person) understanding a chart. Does anyone know of a local yarn store or knitting clubs? I can drive anywhere from Somerset to Ebensburg.

Hey fellow JTownwers. Are there any great local massage places around? Never had one before so not sure what to look for.

Thanks!

Been dying for Johnstown area food lately. Anyone have some great local recipes from restaurants? Been dying for coney island chili sauce, punkys tacos - would really love a flat bread recipe close to their taco shells, local wing flavors since so many places have unique wing flavors like westy wings from the phoenix etc.

Any shares much appreciated!

I’m looking for a ride from Johnstown to Harrisburg, if anybody’s headed that way DM me I’ll gladly pay for gas and tolls. Also, any Uber drivers want to make some quick cash DME

Has anyone tried doing short-term rentals via VRBO or BNB with their house? Is it legal in the communities around town? Thoughts in general!

If you're going too the Starbomb concert in Pittsburgh tonight let me and we can carpool.

I'm leaving around 5 or 6pm

I confirmed with the operator this weekend that CamTran is extending free rides to October 31. Enjoy!

The richland library monthly board game meet up is tomorrow at 6pm to 11pm. Come one, come all!

Put down the electronics and make some new friends 🧡

Hey, a couple weeks back I made a post announcing a group that would meet up and get to making music together, and it's gone really well. We've met up a couple times at the local parks, we've got a few people learning to play guitar and a few people that already know how to play an instrument. I'm posting this update to once again reach out to anyone on here that might want to join up! We've got a discord group chat now where we chat and setup meetups, just pm me and I'll be happy to share it or tell you more about what we've got going on. You don't have to already know how to jam or play an instrument, I'm happy to teach guitar and it's a really laid back group, no judgement. If there are any questions at all, feel free to message me

I just moved here, and I was wondering if there are any good recommendations for someone to come and service my natural gas heater before it gets too cold out. Thanks!

Hello,

I'm seriously considering moving to the area. I work remotely, and have searched for a new location for my family. This area seems to hit every requirement I have, and I'm wondering if its really too good to be true. Looking into the Westmont area, or similar good school districts. I really only spend time with my kids doing family activities, so that and a strong community are important. Also, things like sports, dance, etc. I don't mind a slower, calm lifestyle. I was also wondering political climate. I'm fine with moderate or old school republicans- policies, but worried about moving to a heavy MAGA area. I'm liberal, but grew up in a conservative area, so that's not new to me.

Any advice is appreciated.

From the area, looking to move back. Looking at Ferndale, Westmont, CT, and Richland. Any neighborhoods in town trending up? Not sure what the landscape looks like since I left.

Tell me some legit brunch spots in the area!

What an interesting feature to have in town! The employees are quite knowledgeable about rail transit history.
