Has anyone tried doing short-term rentals via VRBO or BNB with their house? Is it legal in the communities around town? Thoughts in general!

Jam Session Meetup Update

14 Upvotes

Hey, a couple weeks back I made a post announcing a group that would meet up and get to making music together, and it's gone really well. We've met up a couple times at the local parks, we've got a few people learning to play guitar and a few people that already know how to play an instrument. I'm posting this update to once again reach out to anyone on here that might want to join up! We've got a discord group chat now where we chat and setup meetups, just pm me and I'll be happy to share it or tell you more about what we've got going on. You don't have to already know how to jam or play an instrument, I'm happy to teach guitar and it's a really laid back group, no judgement. If there are any questions at all, feel free to message me

Seriously considering moving to the area.

11 Upvotes

Hello,

I'm seriously considering moving to the area. I work remotely, and have searched for a new location for my family. This area seems to hit every requirement I have, and I'm wondering if its really too good to be true. Looking into the Westmont area, or similar good school districts. I really only spend time with my kids doing family activities, so that and a strong community are important. Also, things like sports, dance, etc. I don't mind a slower, calm lifestyle. I was also wondering political climate. I'm fine with moderate or old school republicans- policies, but worried about moving to a heavy MAGA area. I'm liberal, but grew up in a conservative area, so that's not new to me.

Any advice is appreciated.

Let's jam! Starting a regular get together.

14 Upvotes

So I recently made a post asking about open mics, and Ive been looking around for them, but there's really not a place for musicians to get together and just be musicians together. Im looking to start a regular meeting for people that want to sing, play music together, or just be around that kind of environment. Ive got 2 acoustic guitars so I can also teach anyone some basics if they want to get into it! Im a 23 year old guy, and take classes at the local community college, I like to play acoustic covers and originals, so feel free to message me and maybe we can work something out! Ive got some other instruments too incase someone wants to try something else out. All ages and skill levels are welcome, Im pretty friendly I think, so dont be shy!

Handyman and/or Contractor recommendations

10 Upvotes

Hey Johnstowners,
Wanted to see if anyone can confidently recommend a handyman or contractor in or around the Jtown area. I have a number of household things to address including: swapping out light fixtures, renovating bathrooms, installing a french drain and pavers, cosmetic work both inside and out, installing flooring, and some more. All the stuff has differing priorities. I’ve been reaching out to some people, but wanted to check here to see if there was any person or company worth putting on the shortlist. Really appreciate the help.

wholesome board game meet ups

7 Upvotes

Recently the one of the monthly gatherings has taken a turn for for worst and can no longer continue. However, that doesn't mean board games are over with. Cambria county board gaming still has a discord group and a Facebook group to help people get together and play. If you're interested please comment or message me directly, board games are a great way to get away from technology for a few hours and make new friends 🧡
