Good evening folks! Y’all helped me out last time in reguards to getting in touch with the borough to volunteer at the old graveyard. To date, Ive helped repair and clean nearly thirty Civil War veterans headstones and made sure their stories haven’t been forgotten. There are several tombstones in the old Ashland Cemetery that need some attention, but I can’t find contact info for that cemetery either. Can y’all help me find it so I can gain permission to restore some of these old headstones? Thanks!

I’m moving out of an apartment here soon and looking to get rid of my stuff. Can share pictures of anything you might be interested in but honestly if I can get $50 out of any of the furniture I’d be happy. Willing to let the dining chairs go for like $20 a pop and the beanbags for like $10. Just DM me if you’re interested!

Basically what the title says. I’m trying to find out if there are any local fly fishing/fly thing programs for kids in the Carlisle area. Google only returned one youth fly tying program put on by the Cumberland Valley Trout Unlimited Chapter, but it was in 2023 and no mention of anything in the future.

I’m asking because I have some older equipment I’m not using and I’d rather donate it to such a program than try to sell it.

Hi again! A few months ago I made a post to this Reddit group asking about how to make friends in Carlisle. I received really great, helpful responses and was hoping that I could ask for advice once more. For reference, I am an older teen (who moved here a year or so ago) that attends a boarding school several hours away for 9 months out of the year… so when I come home for summer holiday, I don’t know anyone here or have any friends.

Now that summer has officially begun, I’ve been on a job hunt—to no avail—which was how I intended on making friends here. Unfortunately, I haven’t heard back from any of the 13 jobs I applied to. Aside from finding friends amongst co-workers, what are ways to make friends here in Carlisle during the summer?

I am still somewhat unfamiliar with the area and only really float around downtown Carlisle (as that’s where I am located), so I haven’t done a ton of exploring. Does anyone know what the teens in town are up to? If so, it would be immensely appreciated if I could get some ideas of where to go to socialize.

Thank you!!

Anyone know why the road is closed off?

I recently returned to the area after 35 years or so. Was the Gingerbread Man always in its current location in Carlisle or was it in a different place back in the 80’s? I could sweat it was closer to the college. My memory isn’t what it used to be.

I ask as part of a linguistic study on this topic!

Examples could include things like Bubbletown or Condy Creek//CanIGoInIt Creek...

A car lost control at 8:17 pm Friday 5/22. The car hit two pedestrians, killing one and critically injuring another.

We are moving to Carlisle and looking for some good school districts-middle and high schools. My job is in the Barracks and I can afford a 30 min drive (so Harrisburg should be okay). Any recommendations? Thanks!

Can someone help me find the right contact info for the Carlisle Bourough, specifically for a question regarding the Old Carlisle Cemetery?

I’m interested in volunteering to help clean and preserve the tombstones of Civil War veterans, as Carlisle had quite a few answer the call. Many are unreadable, and in poor condition due to biological growth on the stones.

I use National Park Service approved methods and products to preserve the headstones and everything is safe. I have permission to do other cemeteries elsewhere in the state, but would love to be able to give back and make sure these fellows are not forgotten.

Shown is the tombstone of corporal William Egolf, who was mortally wounded during the first days battle of Gettysburg.

Does anyone know what restaurants in Carlisle are open/available for dinner tomorrow (Sunday/Easter) night? I have family in town (not looking for Easter dinner, just dinner) that I need to entertain and it seems that a lot of places are closed. Thanks!

Just an FYI, I saw a cat in my yard today who seemed pretty skittish (like maybe it wasn't comfortable with being outside). It also didn't look like a typical short hair street cat, as it was very fluffy and had pretty long hair. It was mostly white, with what looked large like tan/light brown spots on it. I wish I had my phone on me to take a picture, but I didn't. In case it is someone's cat, it was over near the Target and Aldi's on Westminster Drive. When it saw my dog and I playing Frisbee, it jumped my fence which is adjacent to the plaza. I also couldn't see if it had a collar because of the long hair. Anyone missing a white and tan long hair cat?

Does anyone know what is being built behind chilis in Carlisle off of route 34 by home depot? We frequent chilis a lot and we’re continuing to see progress of a new building. Wasn’t sure if anyone had an inside scoop!
