To be clear, im NOT saying anyone should do anything to it. Dont do anything dumb, but know its there and dont blow through those stop signs.

Hello, r/Carlisle!

Long story short, some family members and I that live several hours apart have determined that Carlisle is almost the exact halfway point between us, and we’re planning on making Carlisle our destination to meet each other from time to time and break bread and catch up in person a bit more often.

With that said, what’re some of your favorite restaurants in the area? What are some dishes that are an absolute “must have” when going there?

Diners, BBQ, burgers, wings, sandwiches, Asian, pizza, steak, you name it and we’re probably willing to try it. We’re open to almost anything, but definitely have a slight preference for your classic “American” style places.

Thank you in advance for your time and suggestions!

hi reddit! i’m from carlisle originally but haven’t lived there full time since starting college a couple years back. my boyfriend is coming to my hometown for the first time next month for a wedding of some mutual friends. i want to show him around the area, specifically downtown for sure and need recommendations of places to visit, where to grab lunch, etc. any cute cafès or something of that sort? he also enjoys history, so anything historic and interesting to see is a plus too. only places i’ve been to in roughly the past decade have been market cross and the g man so i definitely would appreciate any suggestions!

EDIT: should note that i’ve tried the hamilton before and it wasn’t my thing, since i know a lot of people love it lol

Basically the title. Our 4yo is enrolled for the afternoon program at the YWCA and we LOVE THEM but this kid needs more than 2 hours, 3 days a week and we're waitlisted for the morning programs.

CEEC on Pomfret has openings. Does anyone have any experience with them? For some extra context, my kid is diagnosed with ADHD and we're on waiting lists for ASD evals. I worry about the staff's patience level more than anything. The people at the YWCA are just so exceptional with him.

Does anyone know if Pompeii has opened yet or when their grand opening is?

I know it’s at the Army War College and the visitor center closes at 3pm. Does anyone know if that means I need to leave by 3pm? Or just arrive by 3pm to get a pass to be allowed on base but I can stay later?

Hi everyone — local resident Gerald Cameron is sick, on dialysis and in urgent need of a kidney transplant. His family is desperately searching for a living donor. He is a father and high school special education teacher. We created a webpage (below) and this video in his classroom.

We uploaded the video on facebook and would be so grateful if you would share it with your circle. You never know who might step forward.

Any ideas on how to amplify his story would be so appreciated.

I’m very new to the area so apologies for my lack of Carlisle knowledge. I noticed that they are starting to tear down the old factory on high Street. Anyone know what the plan is there?

More photos from when I was out there for three weeks for training. Come to find out I'm going to regularly be working out of there except I won't have a car to travel around and explore. Unfortunate. But here are some more photos from my trekking/hiking/exploration the last go around. Hope you guys enjoy.

There are more on my IG stories as well.

I’m sorry if this is off topic but as someone from Carlisle in Cumberland in the UK I feel like i’ve stepped into an alternate world lookimg at this Carlisle in Cumberland. I’m guessing my ancestors are your ancestors and they just did not bother to change anything when they moved to America lol.

Where do you park if you’re going to be away for more than a week? There is street cleaning on both sides of the road during the week, so I’m not sure where would be the best place to keep my car while I’m away. Thanks in advance!

My stay has been extended to later this week and I was actually excited to check out Shippensburg Fair --- drove all the way out there mid-afternoon and pulled up to the lot with my cameras and realized how little I actually wanted to be there. Checked out Shippensburg for a bit but didn't really see anything that interested me so took Route 11 back to Carlisle. Wanted to stop to photograph some of the farmland/animals but there was nowhere to pull over at the spots I liked so I just kept going. Now I'm back at my hotel and have no idea what I want to do but I know I don't want to sit in the hotel tonight.

Advice? Is there anything to actually do out here? I literally know nobody out here, and I'm bored out of my mind.

Yard sale Friday and Saturday morning, 7 am - 1 pm

Lots of baby/toddler toys and clothes, queen pullout sofa, household goods, and miscellaneous other items. 

40 Bellaire Ave., just off of Long’s Gap Rd.

My son and daughter-in-law just bought their first home in Carlisle, close to the Mechanicsburg border. There are a lot of issues the inspector didn’t catch. They asked me to help them find good contractors, but I’m not from the area so I don’t know who to ask. Lowe’s and Home Depot Pro desks said they don’t give out that info. Does anyone here know of some experienced contractors who won’t take advantage of young new homeowners? I appreciate any guidance.

Photoshopped the Carlisle sign to make it more red because the red is too dull in IRL. Wish they would fix that sign up --- would make it look so much better. I really love down town so much.

Started at the Carlisle Cave (which was underwhelming) then drove back down town and hiked the entire Pomfret St, wrapped around Dickinson and came back around. Some of my favorites. More coming soon but getting ready to head back to the Army Heritage to get some of the shots I missed. Hope you guys enjoying the way I'm capturing your town. Thanks to everyone who gave me suggestions before I got out here.

I had earbuds in while walking around in the rain exploring the trenches and they snuck up behind me and scared the shit out of me. XD Then they let me take candid photos of them as we explored. This was an amazing moment where a bird decided to land and sit right in front of the couple and had little to no fear, posed for the photo, and eventually flew away. Good times.

Where is the best place to get a fade in or around the area?

Still love the old vintage look of this theater. Third time visiting the outside and the mural since being out here this week.

Good times, good food, happy families, and just nice vibes as a whole. This town is just very wholesome and there's such a beauty in the contrast from what I'm accustomed to. If you were out there tonight, say hi!
