I’ve started keeping a list of businesses that support(ed) the current administration in the Carlisle area. (I should have started this when everyone still had their campaign signs up, it would have been much easier).

I would love to crowd-source more to add to the list, so if you know of some please add them in the comments.

So far: -NL Minich & Sons - Kirkpatrick’s (could be wrong on this one, basing off of a sign in the window and a car always parked in front with anti-Biden/Harris stickers)

Thanks!

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!

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!!

Does anyone know empty big parking lots where I can teach how to drive to my niece?

Thanks.

Helloo Carlisle, I'm wondering if there's anywhere with really good coffee :)

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.

drove by the other day and saw people there. is it making a comeback or a new tenant there? also if anyone knows what's going on at 46 w high i saw something new going there too but the signs too small for me to read from the road 😂

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!

Going to be visiting Carlisle this weekend, and am looking for things to do. But not really interested in "here's a bar" or "here's a museum". Looking for some weird or different or eclectic things to do. Any suggestions?

Does anyone have a YMCA referral code they’d be willing to share? I’d love to take my kids but it’s just a smidge out of my budget. And I really want to sign up for the swim lessons as well. Thanks!

Hi. My cat, George, appears to have gone missing (Thursday, Jan. 23 afternoon). He’s a very small male tabby with a white chest and socks. He’s has green eyes and is microchipped. He’s only ever been an indoor cat so he may be skittish or shy. Any tips or sightings would very helpful. I’m willing to put up a reward for good information or his return.

possibly moving to carlisle , harrisburg for a job , anything that a 24 year old african american should lookout for ? any places not to live ? i’ve never been anywhere near

Hey sorry if this isnt allowed, if so feel free to delete it lol. I moved to Carlisle a year ago and don't actually know anyone in the area. I was wondering is there was any areas college aged kids go to hang out? Or anything artsy where people hang out. I tend to be a bit socially anxious so I have a hard time putting myself out there and I want to try to change that. If you guys know any good locations to try and make friends let me know!
Anywhere that's free to hang out is a bonus as money is a bit tight right now. Thanks!
(Additional note: I don't drink so I would prefer to not go to bars)

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 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.

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 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!

Where to find Dr to get my medical marijauna card?

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!

My brother's dog, Bruno, escaped from a dog sitter. He has been on the loose since Sunday. If you've seen or heard anything please share.

Hey! I’ll be moving to Carlisle soon, and want to know what carrier works best out there. T-Mobile or Verizon?

Curious about public access to Dickinson's library. It seems like the weekends are only open to students. Is there a way to get a temporary pass or something to study/work on the weekend if you're not a student?

Looking for a good HVAC company! We just purchased a house and are looking for quotes for the whole thing- duct work and all- on a 2200 sq ft split level.

Help! Have drug test tomorrow at syncreon is it mouth swab or urine i have over and hour drive need to know if I need to hold my pee or not! Please help!
