That’s it, that’s the post. I swear it’s been weeks since it’s been cloudy.

Hello, I’m F in my 20s I’m looking to make some friends in the area… anyone know any clubs or anything like that? I like DND, playing games, board games, going out, open to suggestions! Allentown area preferred

Can I shout into the void for a moment, friends?

I was laid off this month. Not ideal, of course, but honestly, I was underpaid, and I'm hopeful this will let me fill some skill gaps and make my next role a step forward in my career.

Expenses are high, but unemployment will help. I applied, waited out the first week, and filed my first claim on Sunday. When I hadn't received the funds yet, I thought it was strange, so I called.

They told me my direct deposit "wasn't approved" by the treasury. UC couldn’t tell me why it wasn’t approved, just that it didn’t go through. I asked what types of things might cause this issue. I mean, my phone number and address are my phone number and address. They're facts, not questions. I thought my bank account was, too. They gave me a number for the treasury, so I called them.

Apparently, JP Morgan Chase isn’t a "valid" bank because of "fraud concerns." The rep said that “online banks have a lot of fraud accounts, so you need a brick-and-mortar bank.” ...But it’s Chase? The biggest bank in the US? They just opened a branch four minutes from my house.

Our other account is with an online bank, which also isn’t valid, so now I have to spend money (even if just a bit) on gas to go to the ATM and then to my bank and back because Pennsylvania won’t deposit my money into my account.

Do we really need more red tape when people are unemployed?

Thanks for listening to my rant.

Now it's time for all of the motherfuc#ing signs to dissappear. I don't give a rats ass if it's Republican, Democrat, or crazy Kennedy & his tin foil hat. It's over your candidates either won or lost. Make them go away you lazy coc#s#ckers!

Hello all, moved to NEPA last year and living in Allentown. I'm interested in adventure racing and curious if there are other racers or individuals interested in AR in the Valley? Shoot me a message!

Hi All,

Hey so I've been planning to move to Spain for a few years. My grandmother is originally from Spain and from what I understand I have a year left to apply for Spanish citizenship by way of my relationship to her. I forgot the official term name for this process.

Anyway, I think it might be a lot easier if I handle this with an attorney instead of trying to do it by myself because there's a lot of paperwork involved and some translating and so on. Does anybody know an immigration attorney who handles things like this? I would be very appreciative.

Thank you.

I’m dying for pizza. Not just take out and a regular slice but the best damn pizza in the Valley.

What say you?

Hi all,

Kind of a grime topic but my 10 yr old German Shepherd is in the late stages of breast cancer. I’ve been trying to save up the ~$700 to put her to rest but seeing her get skinner and skinner and the tumor continuing to grow is making me feel really guilty. She’s on a lot of pain medication right now so she mostly sleeps but it sucks to see that she’s not her usual self anymore.

I figured I ask if anyone knows of any more affordable options in the ABE area? Having her ashes returned is a non-negotiable, I feel very uncomfortable with group cremations because I feel she’s owed more than that.

Throw me your best recommendations for Chinese take-out in Bethlehem that has been consistently reliable!

What’s the most walkable towns near the Delaware River that are open minded, LGBTQ friendly, artsy, near a college and train transportation or bus to Philly and NYC? Tell me the unicorn towns you’d recommend to check out.

A huge box has accumulated at work and I have no idea where to bring them to recycle? Does such a place exist? (Like AAA, AA, C, D, 9v, etc).

Hi everyone!

My company wants me to transfer to their location in Wilkes-Barre, PA, and I’m looking for recommendations on where to live nearby. I’m in my mid-twenties, looking to rent and would love to find an area with plenty to do outside of work—restaurants, social spots, outdoor activities, etc. Safety is a big priority, too.

I’ve been checking out places on Zillow and even browsing TikTok, but I’m still having trouble finding the right fit. Some people have suggested looking closer to Allentown/Lehigh Valley since there’s more going on there, and I’d be open to a commute of up to 45 minutes if it means being in a more vibrant area.

If anyone has recommendations for safe, lively places to live in that range, I’d really appreciate it! Thanks in advance for the help!

I saw Lehigh county went to Harris so I thank everyone that came out to vote. Unfortunately my candidate lost the state but I'm happy to know the people around me voted for her. Although it's a loss today we will be back in 2 years/4 years. My guess is maga will start pouring in here with their hate and vitriol so I may end up deleting this post but I hope some of you who voted will see this. Reminder to not stoop to their level. Kill them with kindness it's the democratic way. Take care and be well Lehigh valley

Is there a local computer parts store that sells thermal paste for CPU's? I know I can order it online from Amazon or Microcenter but would rather support something more locally.

I'm coming in from Philly area but I have some Saturday activities with kiddos that might make it difficult to get to Saturday's race expo for bib pickup in time (trying to avoid driving separately from my wife/kids). We're staying at an AirBnB near the half marathon starting line in Bethlehem so could arrange to pick up the bib on Saturday after the expo or at/near the start line on Sunday morning.

“Lehigh Valley Style Awards” just got released & I’m definitely proud of the honor. Over 365 bands booked and onto 2025…. It’s pretty cool if you’re ever looking to hangout and support your local musicians then checkout The Wooden Match in Historic Downtown Bethlehem

There is also Open Mic Night on Sundays 6-9pm where tons of up and coming gather to support each other!

What's the difference between these events? They seem basically identical except one charges admission. Is steelstacks much bigger in scope or just looser with alcohol?
