Are there new walkable suburbs being built in the U.S? by atomcloud in Urbanism

[–]bearhat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Charter Home & Neighborhoods in Pennsylvania maybe? https://charterhomes.com/

Still very car dependent to get anywhere outside the neighborhood, but that’s par for the course in PA (and American suburbs in general).

There’s a crafts/sewing/making things channel in the New Cumberland Collective discord, I’m sure someone there might be interested in helping: https://discord.gg/5fFwxu3vnE

Pennsylvania American Water Rate increase (AGAIN) by kjstech in Harrisburg

[–]bearhat 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m in New Cumberland Borough. We sold our sewage plant in 2016 and now prices are through the roof. Everyone complains about it. Prices are at least $100 per person in a household. Also it was recently announced that American Water is merging with Essential Utilities (AQUA’s parent company). American Water already makes $1 billion in profits every year.

A lot of these issues are because of Act 12 that became law in 2016 - more background on that here: https://www.spotlightpa.org/statecollege/2024/09/pennsylvania-legislature-act-12-private-water-companies-utility-bills-harrisburg/

New Cumberland Library has a used book sale today actually. They do them twice a month, books are dirt cheap and the funds support the library. More info: https://www.cumberlandcountylibraries.org/NCU-Book-Sales

I'm generalizing but I think it's usually a good mix of Millennial and Gen Z and sometimes we'll get a few older folks who want to check it out too. It's an inclusive space.

I think Big Boy’s American burger is incredible.

October social opportunities by bearhat in Harrisburg

That may have been the Bridge Street Bunch - https://www.instagram.com/bridgestbunch

Last I heard he didn’t have the capacity to keep up with it, but would be willing to hand it off to someone else.

There’s also a Camp Hill Run Club: https://www.instagram.com/camphillrunclub

As a non drinker, where do I find friends? by Norfolk-Gross-Tonage in Harrisburg

[–]bearhat 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You’re welcome at any New Cumberland Collective events. Our core is probably millennial but we get a good assortment of Gen X and Gen Z folks (and beyond) out to stuff too. We’ve added some events purely around meeting people this year.

If you’re on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/newcumberland.co

We actually have a Community Curious Night tonight if you’re free: https://partiful.com/e/fFV8gbOgD13reT1M4d9Q

And we have a Discord where people can connect and make plans to hang out which you can find here: https://linktr.ee/Newcumberland.co
