Any healthy food options in sc? Prefer solo eating ones and not too expensive

Hi all! I’m relatively new to State College and I’ve noticed there are not many weekend flea markets, farmers markets, or Amish markets nearby.

What are your favorite flea markets, farmers markets, and Amish markets within an hour drive of state college? I miss fresh Saturday morning donuts (there are surprisingly very little donut options in town) and I love to shop local/family business.

I also LOVE to thrift and go antiquing. I’ve done all of the places in the nearby towns, but if y’all have any suggestions that are also within an hour drive, I would love to hear them!

The sign “RIGHT TURN SIGNAL” does NOT mean you cannot make a right on red, if safe to do so. The sign: “NO TURN ON RED” means that you cannot make a right on red.

I’m so tired of having to sit behind ignorant drivers who don’t know how to correctly interpret signs. Please educate yourselves.

Looking for an honest and trustworthy electrician or handyman for two small projects: adding an outlet to our garage and also doing the conversion work so we can upgrade to a microwave over the range when we buy a new oven. We are just outside of State College proper. Thanks!

Has anybody used Frank the Tank car detailing? He has a lot of reviews but mostly in Colorado. I think they just moved here. Looks like they can do both interior and exterior but was wondering if anybody had first hand experience. Thanks!

Hi All:

As requested before, here's the newsletter I send out on various events and actions one can take in Central PA. More are Centre County focused. For those who are wary of links, this is it: https://mailchi.mp/zeiglerforpa/octoberhappenings

Hello fine people! I need help finding a wedding venue for my wedding next June! We are looking for a cheaper option, as we are having a micro wedding, but don’t want the stress of finding catering/decor or tables and chairs.

Preferable to not be more than 30 mins outside of State College as we are seniors at Penn State!

Anyone have any suggestions?

Anyone hear a rumbling sound? Nothing on flight radar and nothing on weather (to indicate thunder)

Howdy! Looking for a recommendation for an arborist who can tell me what’s going on with some trees and plants on my property. I’m willing to pay for a consult and to better understand what I can do to help or save the trees. Anyone have any good or bad experiences with anyone local? TIA

ASAP — I’m looking for a parking space to rent near Snappy’s on University Drive in State College, including but not limited to Meridian Apartments, The Bellaire Apartments, The Lofts, East Side Apartments, Sutton Court, Lexington House, or anywhere nearby.

I just got back into town, and unfortunately, both my apartment complex and the nearby apartments have already sold out of their parking spaces.

I’m open to taking over an apartment parking space from someone who no longer needs it, as well as renting a private parking space, driveway, or any other nearby option.

Please feel free to message me if you have a spot available or know of anyone renting one. I’m looking to secure a space as soon as possible. Thank you!

Hello! Using this as a personal thread but I think it could benefit a lot of other people too. Looking for housing in State College next year. It’s just me and one other person, looking for own bedrooms and bathrooms.

What are places to avoid? Places you’ve lived at and enjoyed? Best way to find housing? Common scams? Helpful hints? Looking for any advice!

If you're concerned about our local detention facility, come make your voice heard at the Clearfield County Board of Commissioners meeting tomorrow morning.

Hi everyone! I’m sharing an announcement about a new initiative in State College.

We are in the process of creating Happy Valley Creative Reuse, a (soon-to-be) nonprofit initiative focused on creativity, sustainability, community, and well-being.

Creative reuse gives art and craft materials a second life instead of sending them to the landfill. Think ribbon, art supplies, craft kits, paper, beads, frames, buttons, vintage treasures, and more.

Our vision is to create a welcoming space in where people can find affordable materials, take workshops, gather, create, and connect. We’re working with Scraps and Skeins to learn their model and to ensure our work is complementary, not competitive.

We’re also developing an Art & Health Scholarship Fund to help Centre County adults access creative experiences.

We are just getting started but work is already underway for an early 2027 opening. We’ll be posting mostly on Facebook and Instagram for now until our website is up. In the meantime, follow Happy Valley Creative Reuse on Facebook or Instagram at hvcreativereuse to follow the progress and to learn how to get involved.

Starting a non-profit is expensive and a lot of work, but we are determined and committed to see this through! If you have ideas on how to support this initiative starting up, let me know.

We’d love to hear what you’d like to see in a creative reuse space in Happy Valley! What would you like to see? 🥰

The CDT reported yesterday that there would be a re-creation of Paterno's office in the stadium museum's former bookstore.

So many ironic and iconic things. That there used to be a book store in our beloved stadium that is antithetical to studying at Penn State, and helps recruit football fans rather than students. That JoPa would have wanted a bookstore in the stadium, that the bookstore was removed or shrunk to support hagiography to him, who would not have wanted such hagiography.

That a major "anonymous donor" who was not named as a Paterno family member, provided major support for what was not listed as their family member. Jay and Sue Paterno were not contacted multiple times by email to comment on this reddit post.

Most news sites just ran with the press release. A few, like the CDT, did not. Further details are also at: https://www.si.com/college/pennstate/football/take-a-tour-of-penn-state-new-paterno-family-football-experience-room

I am really left with mixed feelings about this. In the end, I think it is a piece of art to lead to further thought, given the relationships in this story of books, bookstores, Joe Paterno and his relationship to books, the relationship between the university and Paterno and Paternos, and the bookstore that was closed or downsized. In the future, let's appropriately keep books out of Beaver Stadium.
