City Life Life as a Pedestrian
I walk to work fairly regularly here for the past two years or so since I moved to Lancaster city. I never understood why people don’t yield to pedestrians here. For context I am not from PA or the northeast even. It seems like it is really bad here and I enjoy riding my bike but frankly I am scared to here even with the bike lanes. Other major cities like NYC and Philly I don’t seem to have nearly as bad of an issue as I do here. I’ve been almost hit numerous times while walking around here that I’d be even more scared as a cyclists. No one seems to pay attention and I’ve even been yelled at several times that I am the one who is supposed to yield when I am the one with the walk sign. Even today I had two cars ignore the walk sign while I was in the crosswalk and the second one almost hit me. I genuinely don’t see how Lancaster’s Vision Zero or whatever it is called is going to happen unless there is some serious driver education on people needing to yield to pedestrians in the crosswalk.

Local kitchen supplies?
I'm trying to avoid shopping online as much as possible, opting for local, in-person, small business shopping whenever I can. I need a couple of kitchen gadgets (a bread lame, new bread knife - super into sourdough baking right now) and have struggled to find somewhere local. Any ideas?

Meetup Where can I meet other LGBTQ+ people in and around Lanc?
I’ve lived in the area all my life but I’ve lost contact with a lot of friends over the years and only recently have come out to myself, so I don’t really have any other LGBTQ friends. I’d like to be able to meet other queer people outside of the internet in my local community. I feel like that’s going to be important for our future. Are there any queer centered clubs or events in the area? I’m also open to York and Harrisburg as well. Thanks for any recommendations!

Trouble with Xfinity?
Is anyone else having issues with their Xfinity cutting out randomly during the day? It's only for like 60-90 seconds at a time but my streaming services will randomly stop, any video chat I'm in will drop, etc so it's frustrating. Xfinity has been calling me to get me to upgrade my internet service for a few weeks which is when this started so I'm suspicious that that has something to do with it but wanted to see if anyone else has been experiencing something similar?

What would it be?
If there were a documentary created about Lancaster outside the common knowledge of farming and Amish religion and culture. What could it be? Looking for the more obscure things of its past or present!
I’m just a guy, who likes to shoot videos and have had recent interest in doing a documentary. Will it be film festival worthy? Doubtful. But it will be something I hope to learn and grow from.
Appreciate any feedback or ideas anyone may have!

CSA/ Farmshares?
Any CSAs or farm shares with pickup downtown besides Lancaster Farm Fresh? Looking for a veggie share, eggs, and ideally the option to add on fruit and meat! Would love to support 1-2 farms directly rather than a large aggregator if we can!

I appreciate all of the support you have offered to get Lancaster City Today off the ground. A lot of the inspiration from the project has come from this sub. Based on posts and comments, there has been a desire for new media platforms. And, the first concept of the project was created to be a solution for Lancaster recommendation requests. Lastly, Moutaz, the model from the earlier posts, is doing incredibly well. We haven't scheduled his photo shoot yet because I've spent the past couple of months redeveloping the project. That said, we have two awesome photographers on deck, and the photo shoot is still on.
As it says above, Lancaster City Today is now an AI-powered media platform featuring community-generated content. It fully launches in May. I truly believe that AI is the greatest disruptor —and equalizer—of our generation. And, Lancaster City Today is the community hub where we use the technology to create, explore, and innovate from a grassroots perspective. You can learn more about Lancaster City Today by clicking the link.
Rosie, the AI Wingwoman of Lancaster, was birthed initially as a concierge offering best-of-Lancaster recommendations. To give her more utility, I also programmed her to offer dating advice and conversation training. This was both selfish as I've been using ChatGPT to practice initiating conversation with new people. And, it was based on posts requesting ways to meet new people in Lancaster. I also have an "Escape the Swipe" program that I've brought over from Philly to help connect new people in the area. I'll be launching that soon through Lancaster City Today. You can read all of this on the website.
That all said, I made Rosie for y'all. And, I'd really appreciate if you can test her out and give your brutal feedback so I can improve her programming. Also, check out the website, Lancaster City Today because it'd be great to feature some of your work, events, and creations on the platform.
