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.

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!

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

Thanks!

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!

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

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

I'm leaving around 5 or 6pm

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.

So I recently made a post asking about open mics, and Ive been looking around for them, but there's really not a place for musicians to get together and just be musicians together. Im looking to start a regular meeting for people that want to sing, play music together, or just be around that kind of environment. Ive got 2 acoustic guitars so I can also teach anyone some basics if they want to get into it! Im a 23 year old guy, and take classes at the local community college, I like to play acoustic covers and originals, so feel free to message me and maybe we can work something out! Ive got some other instruments too incase someone wants to try something else out. All ages and skill levels are welcome, Im pretty friendly I think, so dont be shy!

Sorry if it's paywalled but really the essential details are all in the headline.

Hey Johnstowners,
Wanted to see if anyone can confidently recommend a handyman or contractor in or around the Jtown area. I have a number of household things to address including: swapping out light fixtures, renovating bathrooms, installing a french drain and pavers, cosmetic work both inside and out, installing flooring, and some more. All the stuff has differing priorities. I’ve been reaching out to some people, but wanted to check here to see if there was any person or company worth putting on the shortlist. Really appreciate the help.
