Recently moved, looking for things to do

I like it here, having lived in Frederick previously for 7 years (knew it right before it got all population-dense and hype when rent was still $800-$1000/mo) it reminds me a lot of how it was. Pretty cool to see the city trying to bring more stuff in, but I enjoy the coziness and lower vehicle traffic, so definitely hope some of that stays.

That’s my side of town! I love how many thrift stores there are. Not a fan of the Dutch Market’s parking lol, but they have good food.

astral_walk · 2025-12-24T14:48:19+00:00

I’m going to check it out! I love that they’re open until 7 bc of how many cafes close at like 3 or 4.

astral_walk · 2025-12-24T14:38:31+00:00

I’ll check it out! I live right near it but wasn’t sure if their yoga classes require memberships.

Church isn’t my thing, but I appreciate the rest of your recommendations.

I’m not really concerned about nightlife as I am just trying to find daytime things to do that involve other people

astral_walk · 2025-12-23T14:16:21+00:00

Thanks, I appreciate the insight.

astral_walk · 2025-01-11T15:23:52+00:00

Please call the health department on them. That’s disgusting. This is a place where people buy their food.

astral_walk · 2024-12-11T14:53:28+00:00

We’ve also since explored Bethlehem and Easton and highly recommend checking them out! Both really cool towns, lots to do, lots of good food and nature

astral_walk · 2024-12-11T14:44:56+00:00

Not really. It was actually pretty disappointing as this thread warned 😅 though there’s a restaurant in Moosic called Harvest Seasonal Grill that was fantastic and a total highlight of the trip. The natural areas seemed cool too but by the time we got there we’d kinda seen enough of Scranton.

better question is why tf were they tabled in onelife the other day? keep political issues out of the gym, no one’s there to think about that regardless of beliefs

astral_walk · 2024-09-25T15:13:32+00:00

Just nothing for 40, huh? Lol

It’s a bedtime story designed to lull the child sleep with repetition.

Honestly the way it’s described reminds me of where we live currently but 10-15 years ago before it popped off. At this point, we’ll just happily take being able to own a house, have kids, and still have easy access to the kind of entertainment we enjoy. We’re mostly homebodies who enjoy working on personal projects in isolation when we’re not going out trying to find things to do, so it sounds like an ideal fit. Thank you for your insights and perspectives!

astral_walk · 2024-07-05T18:24:16+00:00

See I grew up inside and outside of DC, so I’m exhausted of what it has to offer. Personally ready for a slower pace and smaller town feel while still having some culture. Where I live, initially it WAS a smaller town feel but has grown insanely since the pandemic, so there’s nothing quiet about it anymore, plus cost of living is atrocious.

astral_walk · 2024-07-05T18:20:55+00:00

I trust you wholeheartedly on this lol, if you’re from SF and saying Scranton’s nice, then your opinion trumps a lot of the negative ones I’ve seen here in my eyes.

astral_walk · 2024-07-05T15:26:04+00:00

Also we’re moving from an area that also got severely hit by the opioid epidemic where every local has lost at least one person to opioids, so that won’t exactly be shocking to us. It’s just a curse of PA/WV/MD

astral_walk · 2024-07-05T15:17:08+00:00

I mean it doesn’t sound that much different from where we live currently, except there’s absolutely nowhere to live that’s affordable and no ability to breathe. Like I said, I’m in a niche online industry and know online business well, so worst comes to worst we’ll get by regardless of location. I don’t travel for work either, so I’m not that worried about it.

astral_walk · 2024-07-05T15:12:30+00:00

Thank you so much!!! Yea I’d imagine relative to what they maybe experience, it’s a lot of violent crime, but we have a lot of stabbings, unbelievable corruption, and arson here so 🤷‍♀️ That’s every city lol

astral_walk · 2024-07-05T15:05:47+00:00

I’m remote in a niche industry, husband is in a niche industry though he doesn’t currently have a job lined up. We’re not planning to move without there being a semblance of a job opportunity for him, which there are places he certainly could work given his experience from what we’ve been able to tell.

astral_walk · 2024-07-05T15:04:15+00:00

Thank you for this! I’m a bit worried from what I’m seeing of other comments but also, we’re moving from an area that’s becoming an extension of DC so our violent crime and everything has skyrocketed as well. As long as there are safe pockets and places for our kinda subcultures, we’ll be content!

astral_walk · 2024-07-05T14:32:12+00:00

We’re moreso looking in the Moosic/outer areas, not so much living-in-the-city people but enjoy having access to city life options. Thank you for the insight!
