I had an outstanding experience with my local Social Security office (Harrisburg, PA) yesterday. I…read moreknow, shocking - right? The truth is, it took me FOUR tries to get an agent to listen to me, hear what I was saying, and help me. Oh, and the person who provided the worst and most inaccurate information? A gentleman from that same office. I took a deep breath and called again. Fortune finally decided to smile on me. I spoke with Julie, who listened and helped. She was the person to find the information I'd provided. It had been there the whole time. It's true - Social Security is understaffed. Their job is unrewarding. I get that. But in my instance, the agent in charge of my case mis-filed my proof of insurance coverage: not my fault and how was I to know??? As a result of this person's lack of care, I was threatened by that Harrisburg gentleman with permanent penalties and lack of coverage. Ummm, nope. What is the purpose of my message and why is it relevant? It's two-fold - To tell my fellow seniors that if you believe you are being under-served, you very likely are. Get off the phone with the joker you are talking to and try again. Yes, it's going to take some time. But it's your healthcare and your money. Many agents hide behind their anonymity and shotgun mis-information. (Don't get me started on the entire process - it was way more convoluted that what I'm telling you). Stick with things and see them through. The second purpose is to state whatever role/job you have, know there are people like me who count on you to do the right thing. It matters. Thank you, Julie.

I'm an adult perfectly capable of deciding when and if I want to review something. Still, my angst towards Yelp shouldn't harm Hampden Township negatively. They do a good job, and are one of the better municipalities in the area. Pennsylvania, perhaps the last state to begrudgingly hold on to the archaic township model...only because they don't want to change.

Lititz Moravian looks like a museum from the road, in fact - most people think that it is a museum. But if you venture inside, you'll find a bustling, mission working, community loving family. Moravian is similar to lutheran, believe Jesus to be God's son, died for our sins and saves us all. They love unconditionally, and have traditions that define them but do not break them. They're also Easter people, at 2am on Easter morning, the trombone choir walks around town playing loudly to announce that Christ has risen! I no longer live down the block from Lititz Moravian, but they will always be in my heart. Look them up, and if you happen to be in lititz, certainly stop by. In essentials, unity; in nonessentials, liberty; and in all things love.

From the outside, the library looks very nice. Inside, it's a bit sloppy and loud. Very loud…read more Unsupervised children running throughout the main stacks while there is an empty dedicated children's area available. Seating/table space was hard to come by as many patrons, some clearly homeless, were using them as a place to sleep. By far the most difficult instance was a profoundly mentally ill young man. He was running back and forth through the library, running very near other patrons who were clearly startled and upset, yelling at his laptop. He did this next to the service desk and no one so much as raised an eye. I assumed he was a regular. The actual collection seemed pointed to a much younger demographic with board games, video game stations, videos, music, and large displays of graphic novels. If you are looking for older books or classics, you will be disappointed. As I was there to research a topic of historical Christianity, I was shocked at how little was available. If you fit the demographic, you will most likely be happy if the noise doesn't bother you. If you are middle aged and hoping to use the library for basic research, you will be better served somewhere else. I grew up using this library but am saddened to see what it has become.

I love the bosler library, I have loved it since I was young. Not only is it a huge piece of…read morecarlisle history, it was a large part of some of my children's core memories in the children's wing. I had to print some sensitive documents yesterday. The front desk person was very soft spoken and pleasant. I didn't feel judged for my library card shortcomings. After the documents were printed, they let my partner pay for them but wouldn't release them to them. That feels very professional and secure. The atmosphere is peaceful and quiet save for the occasional excited toddler bouncing around. There's the bookery which is not only clean and cozy but stunningly fancy looking, kind of like a little palace. Items bought there are yours to keep. The prices are more than reasonable, some of the stuff is antiques. There's a teen wing, non-fiction, a chess board, dvds, sensory items, and a few free shelves. But so much more! There's useful documents everywhere, from a library-offered self-guided scavenger hunt to incredibly helpful mental health resources. Bathrooms are clean and open to the public. I recommend the summer reading program for kids, mine did it for a few years. It's incredibly rewarding for them. Bosler will always be my favorite library. Maybe I'm biased, but I think it deserves every bit of its praise. I will always go here.

I knew not to go on Monday because the PA DOT Driver's License Center in Enola is closed. It gets hectic on Thursday, Friday, and weekends. I opted for today, a Wednesday.

I'm not sure if it would be different on a weekday but it was crazy. If you're going on a Saturday or Sunday, I would get there as SOON as the doors open, or else you will be waiting for literal hours. It's not that the staff isn't working, but surely there's a more efficient way to handle things? Aside from that, the staff was nice! The woman at the end of the first line was checking everyone's documents to make sure they had everything they needed before they took a ticket for the larger waiting room. The process itself to get my real ID took five minutes. I'd recommend going with a full stomach, a book, or taking a friend to chat with/ befriend some other people in line or else it'll move at a snail's pace. Don't be miserable and you'll be fine.
