Reply to FYI: PPL is Increasing their Electricity Rates by 18% to 14.612 cents/kWh on December 1st. This is up 53.78% YOY. by giggles-mcgee
I know this is sounds like a big increase, but I just got off a plan paying over 18 cents. Last month my bill was for $347.00 .... One year ago I was paying about 1/2 this for the same usage

Reply to Opinion: Welcome to crazy — Pennsylvania's unusual races for governor and senator by CQU617
I just love the fact that Mastriano was to show up at the Spooky Nook with all of his other republican colleagues, and instead bailed. I don't really know the story behind it but supposedly he had other committments? This even was apparently scheduled for some time.
EDIT: I can't wait for November 8th. I've already decided whom I'm going to vote for and its not the dude that loves the moonies religion, nor the fake doctor.........
Edit found the link:

Most firings go through without a fight. Employers simply don't have the money to fight these claims anymore

Reply to comment by princeoinkins in 'A tireless advocate for the city': Former Lancaster mayor Charlie Smithgall dies at 77 [update] by Speakslinux
His daughter Allison has been running the pharmacy and gun store for a few years now while Charlie "semi retired" so my gut feeling is yes both the pharmacy and gun store will remain open. She is also a pharmacist.
Very nice and humble family. I've seen them reach out and give thousands of dollars to those in need and never asked for acknowledgement. There are many families that have enjoyed their helping hands without question.
Charlie sure had his share of opponents on what he believed in, but as the mayor of Lancaster he really cared about the people and the city. He succeeded in many areas and definitely wasn't out for the popular vote.

I had the opportunity to speak to Charlie on numberous occassions inside and outside the pharmacy.
Fun Fact that most people don't know: He is a registered gun dealer that actually sells firearms out of the back of the pharmacy.
Also a fact: Charlie Smithgall actually shot the intruders that tried to rob him and the store in a armed robbery. He struck one several times. This was back in October 2018, so he would have been 73 at the time he did that.

I'll miss this guy. Was a very wonderful man and a champion of the Constitution and Amendements.
For those that don't know he was a huge 1st and 2nd amendment proponent. Loaned his cannons to Long's Park for their annual fireworks and was well involved in the community. Very humble and down to earth.

Reply to Mandatory Reporting Was Supposed to Stop Severe Child Abuse. It Punishes Poor Families Instead. by r4816
I really have to agree with the main headline of this. Because my wife and I happened to be in the hospital at the same time a few years ago, the school called because it was considered "child abandonment", yet our teenage son was more than capable of taking care of himself. I'm a mandated reporter because of my position within the community and am so damn frustrated with our current system.
Those that should actually receive complaints are ignored. This past summer our neighbors literally placed a padlock on the door to the refrigerator which they kept in their bedroom along with all the other food. Their children were so neglected it was terrible and the roof was leaking in all the bedrooms, and the floor was rotted away in another. It took us entering without the parents permission (we brought pizza for the kids). Their piece of shit parental units were out getting high and crushing and inhaling prescription medications. The local police department would not do anything about it no matter how many times we reported it because they felt the children were fine. A 9 year old that only weighed 31 pounds? I mean is was painfully obvious. The kids were beaten by their parents when they were found with a can opener eating stuff out of cans..... OMG I am still so furious at our system...

I usually arrive at least an hour early, take my time getting back to our vehicle. Never really had a problem honestly
ALSO YMMV: I normally enter under the Ridge Road bridge from the Hershey side and while there are certainly backups really never have a problem. I don't use the main HersheyPark Drive at all.

Trust me Lancaster County has ALOT around. I lived in Manheim/Mount Joy area most of my life and also spent a lot of time at State Gameland 156. I've seen wildlife. Even saw a bear just out for a leisurely stroll in nearby Middle Creek
Where I live now its not uncommon to see both bear and deer tracks , plus coyotes, foxes are regular visitors....

Because no matter what you call them the mountain lion is still making great strides in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
Pennsylvania is also infested with coyotes, but you don't hear alot about them unless you live in rural populous places. I live in Columbia County and literally came within about 15-20 yards of a pack about a week ago. They didn't want part of myself or my dog and they are on guard to begin with.

The owner of Spooky Nook Sam and Melody Beiler are of course staunch republicans. When it comes to politics he is definitely far right. I've met his daughter. She is a goddess. Holy moly... His wife is also very beautiful. .... Sorry getting off topic, but both are beautiful.

Yes and no... Unincorporated land: No Unincorporated villages and towns: Yes, we have such areas.
I don't know for example about Centralia since the fires... On paper I believe it is still listed as a borough, but since the area has all but been abandoned I really don't know if that will bring it back to be uninforporated land. That should be happening within the next 15-20 years.
