Reply to Auto Insurance Rate Increases 35% Seemingly Overnight, Allegedly Due To PA Rate Hike by Mother_Show8790
Same for me. I have one newer vehicle with full coverage, increased around 25%. Also have some older vehicles without collision coverage, those went up around 10%.

I grew up just outside of Manchester. Correct that there's not a whole lot to do right in town, but to be fair, that's true of most of the smaller towns in the area. There's no real "downtown" area with local shops and such, just a stretch of N. George St. just south of town with all the chain stores and a few places to eat. Youre going to be driving a few miles to get to any significant shopping, dining, or entertainment options.
The area surrounding town has become packed with bedroom communities for Harrisburg and Baltimore commuters, and that's largely what Manchester and Mt. Wolf have become. Most jobs in the immediate area will be service industry, or warehousing. Not a terrible area by any means, just nothing special IMO.
If you're looking to buy a home, be aware that Northeastern school district has the highest property taxes in York County outside of the city.

I remember going to Hechinger all the time with my dad when I was a kid. I still find random older things around his house with their price tag.

Reply to Potato Chips - What is your favorite brand and type (Regular/Kettle, etc)? by Speakslinux
Herr's Honey Sriracha are amazing.
Also a big fan of Martin's jalapeño even though they taste nothing like jalapeño 😄
