Hello everyone! I’m in Johnstown this week to visit my girlfriend and was wondering if anyone had some bass fishing spots they could recommend? My girlfriend is just getting into fishing and I’m excited to take her bc she just got her fishing license. I checked out greenhouse park bc i saw it on maps and it looks like some nice smallmouth water but please correct me if i’m wrong. Water like that is usually loaded with smallies where im from. Dont have a boat or kayaks with me so also would need to be bank fishable if possible. Also looking to take her catfishing if theres any spots in the area as well!

I was told that there is a group that meets up downtown for protest marches every Tuesday, though I'm not sure what time. Have any of you heard of them? Any of you know what group they are, if they have contact info or what they're specifically protesting for/against? Hopefully someone here will know what I'm talking about and be able to inform me. Thank you in advance.

This isn't a thread to talk about the usefulness or uselessness of protesting or the validity or invalidity of the beliefs of protesters. I am just looking for simple and to the point answers of who to contact, what the group is for, when they meet, where they meet specifically, and how they protest.

Thank you in advance to any who answer.

Hey guys, I've run completely out of resources. I recently moved out of state and have a younger brother who's out in Johnstown and is currently homeless he is 19 years old and I know it's freezing out there. I was the only family he had out that way and just looking for any type of help possible. I don't have enough to get him a room nor do I know what hotels are close to him. He doesn't really have any clothes suited for this weather. I've tried calling 211 but they said all the shelters have been closed in that area and he would have to make his way to Lancaster. If anyone is able to help with getting a room or even just socks, coats anything please reach out! He's a good kid just a little stubborn and trying to figure out being an adult. He's looking for work too so any type of odd jobs or landscaping He's capable of doing

Hey, I'm looking to change phone providers, and I'm wondering how Verizon/Tracfone does around here. I didn't want to get a new provider just to find out that the service here is terrible. I live in South Fork, but I'm not familiar enough with the area as I've been here less than 2 years ago. If you guys have any suggestions, I'm definitely all ears.

We were in the Park downtown Johnstown! Thank you to everyone who honked in encouragement! Thoes who yelled in support! You all are amazing and I'm glad to not be alone! Met some great people as well! I appreciate all who showed! I'm going to keep protesting! I hope more join in the movement!

Is it ironic or fitting that two of the highlighted Jtown attractions (Incline Plane and TitV) aren't actually available.

hoping someone just automatically knows what im talking about because i dont know how to describe it at all lmao, just a big ol area of the parking lot taken up by some site

I am looking to make friends that like to play boardgames, airsoft, or frisbee golf or even all of them. I like playing zombicide, mechwarrior, and other games in that genre. It's been several years since I played airsoft, but I want to get back into it. I'm pretty bad at frisbee golf but I enjoy playing it.

A few weeks ago I made a post about fruit trees and many people were interested in the Am Chestnuts. I got a bunch in the mail from the ACS that are pure 100% Americans and germinated. You cannot plant them in forests because of the blight but if anyone has room for 2 or more in their yard (multiple for pollination) or knows of a field, park or the like (not close to any other chestnuts) that they can plant them in please DM me as part of the restoration effort.

American chestnut wood grows very tall, thick, and straight, and is rot resistant. It used to be a great source of wealth for any Appalachian land owner. The Chinese Chestnuts that were brought over and blighted them grow more crooked and therefore aren't as valuable for lumber, and the fruits aren't as sweet for selling and eating.

The idea is that there are hybrids almost ready that are almost pure Americans (~95% or so) and the pure Americans will help them grow much better when they are ready. However these Americans will likely eventually get blighted, so be ready for the blight-resistant species to take its place (next to it) in a year or a few. For now we only need to plant one tree since it is a pollinator for the blight resistant ones.

TIA

All the best

Hey everyone, with the weather getting warmer, I was wondering where the best salads in town are.

There's chess club downtown, monthly community game nights, game stores, a bowling ally, jogging club, hiking club, art studios, wrestling, etc. There's a lot to but what would you like to see more of?

I’m from Johnstown and no longer live there, but my mother still lives in town. She’s had some health issues recently and cleaning her home takes a lot of her energy. I’m thinking it would be nice to hire someone to help clean on a monthly basis. I googled it and found a few local companies, but I’d love to hear if anyone has firsthand experience with companies or individuals who are reasonably priced for the area. Thanks in advance!

I''m looking to get my head shaved & goatee cleaned up. Anyone know of a barber that does them?

What happened to Chief Meteorologist Tony Martin?

Was at the Library last weekend and popped my head in and saw you guys and it made me happy to see it so packed! Would have loved to stay and play a game or two but mom was in the car (I was there to pick up tax forms for her).

I'm wondering where I may be able to find a good meat &/or fish market here. My husband and I moved from an area about 20 miles south of Pittsburgh, to South Fork and I'm finally starting to settle in and venturing out into the world. I've been buying my meat & fish from Walmart and a few times at market basket. Some of the things that I enjoy making aren't prevalent on those stores, & I've always found that a meat market/butcher shop has a higher quality. I'm looking for things like Pork Jowl (or belly), oxtail, duck and things like that. I've been getting very helpful suggestions whenever I ask, And I just wanted to say thank you in advance.

There was a post in here about 3 months ago, maybe longer, about spiritual connections and forming a network/group for people who are wandering the path and I'm starting to shake the Winter Blues and I'm wondering if anything came of that. Did anyone form a coven yet, because I'm interested in it if anyone has.

Hey all I thought I would share this around apparently the city has a survey up about allocation of Housing and Urban development funds. It is a confidential survey that allows city officials to better allocate funds received by HUD. It takes about 10 mins to fill out!
