Hello everyone,

I am looking for recommendations for a boxing gym. I have no previous boxing experience, I have lost over 250lbs, and I am looking to build muscle on this loose skin. A friend of mine recommended a boxing gym and classes to me. What is a good and affordable gym in the city?

General Discussion Looking for internet provider recommendations for the Muhlenberg, PA area.

6 Upvotes

Moving to that area due to work opportunities. We were hoping to get Verizon Fios home address transfer but they don’t service this area.

We also called FastBridge, since they’re about 15 min away from the place and they basically said they can’t provide service either.

Does anyone know of any providers that cover the area and have decent speeds? Ideally for a 2 pc set up plus uk, extra devices etc.

Wood, 22, just had his best start of the season July 19 against Altoona: 9 strikeouts in 4 innings. He hasn't walked a batter all month, 13 strikeouts across two July starts, a 2.57 ERA. Also just made the Futures Game roster, three months removed from Single-A. Threw a 19-strikeout no-hitter for Arkansas last year before the Phillies took him 26th overall. Full breakdown in this week's Double Dip.

Is there anywhere local film makers or writers meet up around here?

11 Upvotes

I’m a local artist focused on illustration, screenwriting, and filmmaking. I’ve lived here 10 years but haven’t met anyone who shares my interest in storytelling across mediums. Where do people like this tend to connect around here? Any way to keep up with local production news? Looking to make some friend and some connections.

General Discussion Why is it so hard?!?!

28 Upvotes
  1. Why is it so difficult to go around the freaking block?! Why are U-turns and / or backing up from the start of the street the “cool” way?
  2. Why is it so hard AND difficult to get in the correct lane? If you don’t want to go left don’t go in the left turn lane and go straight (this of course excludes any construction that make you go in the left turn lane to go straight)
  3. No parking from here to corner. def. This means don’t park next to and up to the corner cough cough n 12th street cough cough I got a ticket doing so (this also is a part of…
  4. WHY DO WE WAIT FOR THE STREET SWEEPER TO COME ALMOST RIGHT BEHIND YOU? Here is a scenario…. Today is street sweeping for the 1000 block of Nintendo street (this is a scenario and none of this is real) and Laura at house number 1676 is parked on the left side of the road and then the sweeper noise sound and when Laura goes to the window and looks outside she sees the sweeper come. “Oh shoot I forgot today is sweeper day” no you didn’t freaking forget what day it is and then Laura then moves her car to the opposite side and then when the sweeper passes backs up BACK TO HER SPOT. Here is two options: 1. Don’t EVEN PARK ON SWEEPING SIDE AND OR 2. STOP TAILGATING THE SWEEPER YOUR NAME IS NOT ON THE SPOT (Don’t get me started with winter and when it snows and when chairs come into play)
  5. CHAIRS IN SPOT. “Tonight the city is saying in preparation for the upcoming snowstorm is reminding people to NOT save their spots with chairs as the chairs could be trashed on trash day” (do I need to say more)
  6. Dirt bikes….or should I say…..the “Let’s ignore the fact that we need a license plate to have them on the street and or let’s show off on n 13th by doing wheelies on the road” bikes. What word in dirt bike tells you where they belong? I will give you 5 minutes….5….4….3…2…1 time’s up if you said dirt bikes then you are correct. Ok fine you want to do a memorial ride? Ok fine…HOWEVER GET A LICENSE PLATE ON IT OR (unless reading is NOT keeping up with dirt bike destroying plan AS THEY SAID) it gets taken and destroyed* (* this should also come with a Stern warning from police if you get pulled over as: “if you don’t get a license plate in 30 days we will find it and take it and if you want your thing back you will pay 100$ to get it back [with the license plate installation process included as 50$]

Hey all,

Does anyone know of medical professionals locally who offer ASD assessments for adults? I’ve had past professionals allude to it being a possible factor for myself and I’d love the opportunity to confirm with a psychiatric professional who specializes in this area.

I greatly appreciate any assistance offered 😊
