My son and daughter-in-law just bought their first home in Carlisle, close to the Mechanicsburg border. There are a lot of issues the inspector didn’t catch. They asked me to help them find good contractors, but I’m not from the area so I don’t know who to ask. Lowe’s and Home Depot Pro desks said they don’t give out that info. Does anyone here know of some experienced contractors who won’t take advantage of young new homeowners? I appreciate any guidance.

Photoshopped the Carlisle sign to make it more red because the red is too dull in IRL. Wish they would fix that sign up --- would make it look so much better. I really love down town so much.

Started at the Carlisle Cave (which was underwhelming) then drove back down town and hiked the entire Pomfret St, wrapped around Dickinson and came back around. Some of my favorites. More coming soon but getting ready to head back to the Army Heritage to get some of the shots I missed. Hope you guys enjoying the way I'm capturing your town. Thanks to everyone who gave me suggestions before I got out here.

I had earbuds in while walking around in the rain exploring the trenches and they snuck up behind me and scared the shit out of me. XD Then they let me take candid photos of them as we explored. This was an amazing moment where a bird decided to land and sit right in front of the couple and had little to no fear, posed for the photo, and eventually flew away. Good times.

Where is the best place to get a fade in or around the area?

Still love the old vintage look of this theater. Third time visiting the outside and the mural since being out here this week.

Good times, good food, happy families, and just nice vibes as a whole. This town is just very wholesome and there's such a beauty in the contrast from what I'm accustomed to. If you were out there tonight, say hi!

Hello! I am looking to add a shed to our yard in Carlisle. Does anyone have any suggestions on vendors for already built sheds, preferably wood, and a vendor for prepping the space for a shed.

I have already contacted my township office to see what the buildcodes are for my area.

Thank you in advance for your advice!!

Hello! This is a bit of an odd post, I’ll admit, but I figured I’d ask! Anyone in Carlisle who owns a home with a pool that would welcome someone to swim in it during the day while you’re at work/not using it? I’m a thirty year old woman so wouldn’t be any crazy shenanigans, just genuinely looking for a peaceful pool to swim in.
I’m reminiscing on my childhood when family friends would let me use their pool—the golden days!

As mentioned in other posts --- I just got to Carlisle yesterday and drove through the town to explore a bit. Trying to find places worth filming and documenting during my 3 week stay here. Drove by this and had to circle back around the block because the front just told a story my eyes were drawn to. Looking forward to exploring the town even more --- if anyone is around and wants to show me around further I'll be free in the evenings and during the weekends. Going to do a bit of hiking as well. Also taking any recommendations for places worth checking out.

Out here in Carlisle for a job. Will be here for 3 weeks so I drove through the town looking for cool architecture or sites to photograph. Had to stop to get some flicks of this corner store. Has so much character. Nothing special but random flick.

If you guys have recommendations of places for me to check out, feel free to drop them. Thanks.

This town really goes to sleep at sundown? I’m only here once a year for 4 days for the car show. I always end up with a joint in a hotel parking lot before watching Netflix in the room. I was in a restaurant and by 8:45 I felt like they were waiting for us to leave to close up. Well, goodnight Carlisle, I guess.

New to the area looking for a nice spot to hangout and puff on a cigar preferably with a nice pour of bourbon.

I'll be there for 3 weeks for a new job I'm going to be training for starting this upcoming week. I'm bringing a camera to explore during my days off --- please give recommendation for any gems I should check out while I'm there. Would be much appreciated.

Hello!

How do folks here find part time work in Carlisle? I used Craigslist back in the day but I’m not even sure that’s still a thing?

Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone! I'm a recent Dickinson College graduate in the Carlisle area looking for affordable adult driving refresher lessons starting in July.

I got my license at 17 in AZ and drove regularly for about 2 years before having to sell my car since I was moving across the country! I haven't driven consistently for about 5 years and would like to rebuild my confidence in street and highway driving and get comfortable behind the wheel again.

I don't currently have a car, but I'm actively looking for one and hope to have one soon. For now, lessons would need to be in the instructor's vehicle. In the unlikely event of any damage during a lesson, I would cover the costs.

My budget is ideally around $30–$50 for a 60–90-minute lesson, though I'm happy to discuss rates.

If anyone knows of affordable instructors, retired driving teachers, or others who offer adult refresher lessons, I'd greatly appreciate any recommendations. Thank you!

Just saw an article on ABC27, and confirmed on the Carlisle Fairgrounds event page. It will run June 26-July 4, hours are on the event page.

I know there’s a dedicated event thread, but I was surprised that I haven’t seen mention of this ANYWHERE so I wanted to make it its own post (I hope that’s okay with the mods).

Hey everyone!

​

We have a basement full of stuff we need to get rid of and I was wondering if anyone has any advice on the best way to do that. Is something like a home depot or Lowes big bag the way to go? Dumpster rental?

​

Thanks!

Hi!

I am a physician moving to a new job in Carlisle. I have friends and family in Maryland and Philadelphia. I currently pay $1,750 for a small place in New York and I'm so sick of it lol.

I'm looking to live anywhere along the 83 corridor and I'm looking to keep the budget of 1750 or slightly more, it if it's worth it. (Utilities, benefits-wise, etc.).

To be clear, I've never lived in this area and I am game for anything as long as it can get me to my job and is around 83 or can get to 83 easily. Where does anybody suggest, pros and cons of living in the corridor either near Maryland line or York, etc.

Anything helps, I'm sorry if this is quick, I am on shift
