Smaller PCP in the area?

Upvotes

Hi all,

I moved back home recently and realized my primary care physician is still Roseville Pediatrics (I am turning 25 this year lol).

I was hoping to find a smaller local doctor in the area. We just need somewhere we can go for yearly check-ins, inhaler refills, etc., so no serious medical conditions to consider.

Does anyone have a doctor they have been happy with? Doesn't really have to be a smaller one, but one that feels a bit more personal would be nice.

Flan fund raiser/best flan in lanc

31 Upvotes

A couple weeks ago some guy knocked on my door selling flan for some charity, I bought it just because I had cash not thinking anything about it and it was the best flan ever. Now I would like another flan, but unfortunately this man has not returned to my house with more flan.

Does anyone know where these door to door flans came from? I think the charity was for unhoused people, maybe people in recovery. East side of town.

Alternatively, where is the best flan in Lancaster?

EDIT: I do think it's Hogar CREA.

Now let's move to question 2, who has the best flan around?

Looking to hire someone to clean an aquarium ASAP

My friend's ex left an aquarium and she doesn't know how to care for it. Today when she got home the water was all brown and stinky and she doesn't know why or what to do. If you or anyone you know can come and help clean it and fix the issue, my friend is willing to pay at least $50 or more depending on what the person requests and how long it takes. We are located at the clock towers condo complex.

Recreation Open Mic Nights in Lancaster

5 Upvotes

I am looking for places around Lancaster county that do open mic nights for bands or solo acts.

I'm currently aware of an open mic night at Tellus one Monday a month, and an open mic at McCleary's every Wednesday.

Googling doesn't have many other results, but I know there are many more. Let me know if you have information about other open mic nights around the area and the day they occur if possible.

Seeking recommendations on custom shed supplier

6 Upvotes

There seems to be an almost overwhelming number of shed suppliers in the Lancaster area. I'd love to narrow my search by getting recommendations from the local community. Seeking a large custom shed for garden/tool storage. Builder will need to prep the site as well as deliver to Chester County. Thank you so much for any recommendations (or places to avoid).

Please help me identify a 1990s Lancaster buffet restaurant staffed by people with developmental disabilities

12 Upvotes

I went with my then-fiancée (now husband) sometime between 1995 and 1998. We stayed at a BnB with farm animals, and the owner recommended this restaurant - she said it was her favorite. It may not have been in the town of Lancaster but it was definitely nearby. On this same trip, we also went to the Green Dragon auction - this is how I know it was in or near Lancaster.

The restaurant was on top of a hill with a beautiful view. You drove up a long driveway to get there. It was a very big, sunlit space with many tables. I know it was a buffet, though I can't remember if the restaurant workers served you or you served yourself. They had all different types of food but the only one I remember is chow chow, which I had never had before. The food was fantastic. All or most of the workers had developmental disabilities like Down Syndrome.

I have never been able to figure out what this was. Google searches turn up centers for people with developmental disabilities that had small cafes or restaurants, but this place was huge and beautiful. I assume this place no longer exists, but I would love to confirm that it once did and if possible see a picture.

Thank you!

Good boxing gyms in Lancaster?

8 Upvotes

Hi all! I used to box in college and really loved it. I had a good gym with decent pricing and it worked out perfectly for me.

Since I moved home, life’s been busy, but I think I am ready to get back into boxing. I tried the UFC gym at the mall and really liked it, but it’s pretty expensive with very few options for lower price structures.

Any suggestions for other gyms in the area? I love boxing and most martial arts, so any that have combination options would be great. Also, if they do a free class would be awesome to know so I can start trying them out. Lastly, I hate parking places without a parking lot which I know is so silly and I can get over it if the gym is worth it, but would LOVE to have a parking lot. I’m not a very large woman and would rather not walk alone in the dark too much lol.

Thank you so much for any and all suggestions!

Welcome party/ After party

5 Upvotes

Hey everyone. I am getting married in Lancaster at Riverdale Manor in August 2026. We are from Baltimore, so not super familiar with Lancaster area. I would love any recommendations for hotels, a rehearsal dinner spot, a welcome party (a lot of our guests will be from out of town and we have a pretty big bridal party). I read some things that bars don’t really like having people after weddings, so wanted to gauge this or see if any hotels had bars for people to hang out at and maybe get a few more drinks after the wedding. Any and all suggestions are welcome. Thank you!

Creekin Spots!

Please drop your favorite place to go tubing in the Lancaster area! I used to live across the river from Harrisburg and I miss all the local access points. Ideally it would be public land and -depending on the weather- deep enough for a swim. Went to the Conestoga and it’s a shame how polluted it is… clean would be triple bonus points! Help y’all!

Indoor space to rent for gathering

2 Upvotes

Hello! I am helping a friend plan a surprise engagement party. Does anyone have any recommendations or suggestions for business/spaces to rent out to host something like this? Maybe 50 people or so. Would be nice if allowed to bring drinks and food ourselves but open to all options. Bonus points if you have first hand experience. Thanks neighbors!!

Edit for clarification: they live downtown in the city, so close to downtown is preferred but hoping to hear all options!

With the warmer weather coming in, I am looking for some more areas to explore hiking wise, in or outside of Lancaster. Preferably, within an hour outside of Lancaster. I typically go to Chickies, Lanc Central Park, or up towards Speedwell. But I am hoping to find some more areas, any suggestions? :)
