r/Harrisburg

Just moved to Harrisburg for a program I’m enrolled in and know absolutely nothing about the area. There are a LOT of grocery stores close to my apartment complex that we don’t have in my neck of the woods, do you guys have any recommendations for what grocery stores will give me the best bang for my buck? I’m a student who was discouraged from working during my program so I’m not looking to buy anything too crazy.

You guys might see some more posts from me asking about the area but I’m also not too sure how to use Reddit. If my posts become redundant with others please point me in the right direction. Thank you!

I have lived in colonial park for 2 years and I enjoy it. Super close to stores and shopping. Also residential enough to go on runs. Just haven’t met anyone on the community side of things.

I want to move to have change of pace. I got accepted for a house around 2nd and Dauphin. Do you think I’ll like this change? 19 days a month I live by myself and enjoy scenic runs, going for a beer, playing guitar, and accessibility. The biggest known downsides would be driving and safety. Thoughts?

*** SATURDAY JUNE 20th

New York's CULTS have spent fifteen years perfecting the bittersweet anthem — songs that sound euphoric on the surface but cut you open underneath.

Formed in 2010 by Madeline Follin and Brian Oblivion while both were students in New York City, the duo broke through almost immediately with their viral debut "Go Outside," earning both Best New Music honors from Pitchfork and a deal with Columbia Records quicker than most bands get a rehearsal space. Their self-titled debut landed in the top 50 albums of 2011 and launched them onto stages alongside Pixies and Vampire Weekend.

What followed was a decade of fearless evolution, resulting in five studio albums that never sounded like the same band twice. Their 2022 TikTok breakout "Gilded Lily" introduced them to an entirely new generation, while their 2024 album To the Ghosts is among the most emotionally precise records of their career.

Live, CULTS bring a full band and a sound that is bigger, louder, and more alive than anything their recordings suggest, while Follin commands the stage with a presence that stops rooms cold.

CULTS’ Saturday night headlining slot sits within a music lineup with additional acts to be announced in the coming weeks, alongside 125 film premieres and screenings, in-person filmmaker Q&As, and the festival’s entertainment industry talks and panels programming.

Previously announced marquee programming includes “Strange Journey: The Story of Rocky Horror,” with director Linus O’Brien, son of Rocky Horror Show creator Richard O’Brien, attending for a live Q&A, followed by a presentation of “The Rocky Horror Picture Show”; Sundance 2026 and SXSW 2026 official selection “Joybubbles”; and SXSW 2026 premiere “Their Town,” directed by Katie Aselton and written by Mark Duplass; alongside a hometown homecoming concert from American Idol breakout star Rae Boyd.

You may have someone help you cast your ballot if you have a disability that prevents you from operating the voting machine; have a language barrier; and/or if you have trouble reading.

You may ask anyone to assist you as long as the person is not your employer or their agent, your union representative or their agent or the judge of election.

If your right to vote is challenged at your polling place, you may fill out a provisional ballot that will be counted if you are found eligible to vote.

If you need to contact your county’s election bureau, you can find the information online.

Completed mail ballots must be received by county election bureaus by 8 p.m. Tuesday. It’s too late to mail them. Postmarks don’t count.

Where is the auto care center in the Walmart on Grayson Road?

I walked all through the store and drove around the building. I'm not seeing it.

Hey,

What is the best way to get from Harrisburg to PHL International Airport via Amtrak? Is there a stop at the airport, or would I need to get off at 30th Street and Uber to it? If so, it may make more sense to just drive and pay for airport parking for a week or two?

Thanks!

I was just given the form for approval to switch my remote working location, and found that there's this field on it requiring an internet speed screenshot. It doesn't need to be a test done with my own device, it just needs to show the average upload and download speed in the town. I have Venmo and Paypal, happy to pay so I don't have to drive three hours there and back just to take a screenshot. If you just google the words "speed test", Google has a tester embedded that will share the speed without showing your IP address or any personal details. Payment goes to whoever sends it first. I don't think you can send images in this subreddit, but comment if you're messaging me so that it's clear someone has fulfilled the offer. I'll comment as well once I've received the screenshot I need

I saw a post from last year about this, and was wondering if anyone figured out any good places to watch the air show from outside of the normal ticketing (which is almost $90 for the cheapest single ticket, which is insane)? I saw a few suggestions last year, but didn't know if any of those panned out, and I'm not super familiar with the area. Thanks!

Fairly new here and looking for a friend who’s down for consistent conversation and actually likes texting/chatting throughout the week. Strictly platonic. I enjoy good conversation, humor, daily life talk, fitness, music, and random check-ins. Just miss having that steady friendship connection with someone genuine and emotionally intelligent.

Looking for affordable moving company for several pieces of furniture. Distance is 1 mile. One quote I got was almost $800. Never used a company before so I'm not sure if this is a normal price.

May 22 and 23 - 7AM to 1:30PM
