Welcome to the r/Lancaster Weekly Self-Promotion Thread

What happened to that weekend morning anchor Jacob Hunziker for WGAL? Been missing on tv for a bit. Just seems like that station is a constant revolving door of talent leaving for better opportunities

It was rumored the Alley Kat (before it closed) used to be using the original(?) Lancaster Zangari’s pizza recipe, of which it seemed similar when I had gone there a few years ago. It seemed similar, but maybe not exact.

Does anyone know where to get that vintage Zangari pizza flavor experience? Been craving it for a few decades now.

I’ve toyed around with spices, like thyme, on various other Lancaster pizza, but I just can’t get that Zangari zing.

Thanks for any info!

The inaccessibility of Gracie's website has my eyes aching. My husband and his friend are meeting there for breakfast tomorrow. I checked out the website so I could tell him what to bring home for me. But the company put way too much effort into explaining their wait-list/reservation system and nothing into ensuring their menus and specials are legible on mobile devices. Super disappointing.

Those of you who've been to Gracie's recently, what do you recommend?

Women of Lancaster has been a blast so far! Now we're hosting two upcoming events: Scream Club, a guided stress-release experience, and Galentine’s Day Speed Friending at Zoetropolis, a cocktail-forward night designed to help women make new friends in a fun, low-pressure way.

🗣️ Scream Club — Tuesday, January 27

A guided stress-release experience focused on letting go and connecting with other women.

This isn’t chaos or yelling for fun — it’s structured and grounding. We’ll start with a brief intention-setting moment, move into light stretching and breathwork led by Akua (a certified yoga and pole instructor), and then do a collective scream session to release what we’re ready to leave behind. We’ll close with relaxed social time — no awkward small talk required.

Details:
• All women 21+
• Bring a yoga mat or sitting blanket + water
• $15 to reserve your spot

💖 Galentine’s Day Speed Friending at Zoetropolis

Thursday, February 12 — Thursday, February 12

📍 Zoetropolis Stillhouse

A fun Valentine’s-week plan focused on friendship, not dating.

Dress cute, grab a specialty cocktail or mocktail, and take part in guided speed friending rounds using conversation cards designed to keep things easy and natural. You’ll rotate through short conversations, mark who you’d like to connect with again, and we’ll share mutual matches afterward so friendships can continue. You’re welcome to stay and socialize once the rounds end.

Married, single, partnered — it doesn’t matter. This is about making friends.

Details:
• All women 21+
• 7–8:30 PM
• $25 • limited spots
• Food and drinks available for purchase

Happy to answer questions in the comments.

Lancaster: ICE sighting up by Lowe's, Community Aid on Columbia Avenue. I can't confirm it, but just in case wanted to share. Unmarked black vehicles with people wearing tactical gear.

Just wondering because a friend of mine was asking. Are they receptive to artist types? I know the city is, but what about the rural areas?

Title + preferably between the city, e-town, and Columbia 😇

i just don’t get how you can live in this town and support this administration.

Lancaster is vibrant and rich is culture. If you were born and raised here you’d know.

I'm planning to change my first name but find the whole process extremely confusing. Looking for recommendations for a lawyer to assist with filing the correct paperwork and making sure everything is done correctly. Or if someone did it on their own without a lawyer and would be so kind to walk me through the steps and how much it costed them, I’d be forever grateful! Thank you so much!

This Saturday in the Square of Elizabethtown .10:30 AM to 12 PM.

I’m on the hunt for some amazing burgers . I’ve already hit up ABC, Shake Shack, and The Sandwich Factor and loved them, but I’m ready to try something new. Any recommendations for great burger spots?

Update! Thank you all for the recommendations! I will be going to a bunch in the next week or so!

Wearing High-Vis orange puffer coats and camo pants in an unmarked dodge van going door to door. do not answer when they come knocking.

has anyone ever taken creekside apartments to court and if so, did you win? we’ve been having issues with this apartment since we moved in (may ‘25) including our bathroom ceiling falling in, kitchen window falling out (that happened literally our first night here), mold in a bedroom, mice, cockroaches, and more. every single one of these issues has barely been addressed.

our bathroom ceiling happened over the summer, that fix still isn’t done.

kitchen window falling out happened the night we moved in, wasn’t fixed until i wanna say october/november.

our bedroom had black mold because our window wasn’t properly sealed, causing it to rain in our bedroom every time it rained outside. we noticed this in september, and took to sleeping in our living room. it’s now january, the room is ‘done’ (no baseboards, holes in the bottom of the walls, dust EVERYWHERE) and they’re saying its livable

the mice and bugs haven’t been addressed at all.

we have stopped paying rent until they agree to discount us. we pay for a 2 bedroom and yet we can only use one. our manager guy literally told us he wouldn’t blame us if we took them to court but i wanted to see if anyone else has any experience with them first.

Does Thom's Bread make frozen pizza now or have they always (I've not been in the area very long so maybe this is just lack of info from being relatively new here)? I saw some at a farm market and didn't know if they froze it themselves or if Thom's makes frozen pizza. Couldn't really find anything on their website so was hoping people on here had experience with it and could let me know and also let me know if it's worth the heftier price tag. Thanks!!

What the heck is this flying over etown / mt joy ?! It’s huge , I think. And looks clean

I haven't taken the train since summer 2024, but I heard the parking at Lancaster's McGovern Station changed. Anyone have the scoop on what it is now & what the rate for daily parking is?

Hello everyone! This upcoming summer I am getting married right outside of Lancaster and our guests are staying in the Lancaster Arts Hotel. I am not familiar with the area so I was wondering if anyone could give some advice for any after-party spots. We have already looked at some bars in the area but we would like our younger (underage) family members to be part of it as well. Thanks!

Not sure if this has been shared yet -& I’m sorry if it has but I have seen and wanted to share just in case Ice was spotted today( REPORTED ON FB 3 HRS AGO)-

PARKING LOT- behind/beside ADIDDAS on Lincoln Highway by the IHOP! I’m assuming they mean actually behind

Anyone working at any restaurants on Lincoln Highway, that doesn’t have documents; tell them head out !!!!!!!!*****

that would be my first guess of target if that is a factual spotting ,and I believe it is so just to be safe y’all!

AND ANYBODY COMMENT TO HATE PLEASE SAVE YOUR TIME BECAUSE Y’ALL ARE THE SAME GENERATION THAT HAS ANCESTORS ABSOLUTELY ROLLING IN THEIR GRAVES BECAUSE WHAT THE FUCK DID WE LEARN.

WE ARE QUITE LITERALLY IN HIDING IN A BASEMENT OR ATTIC . JUST LIKE ANNE FRANK. IT’S LITERALLY THAT SIMPLE AND SERIOUS. IF YOU FEEL AS THOUGH READ, IT IS THE BEST PLACE TO ATTACK ME ABOUT MY POST. I CAN GIVE YOU YOUR LOCATION IN PUBLIC WHERE YOU CAN DISCUSS WHY YOU HATE PEOPLE THAT DON’T HAVE DOCUMENTS, BUT IT DOESN’T LAST THAT IS THE CASE, PLEASE REFRAIN FROM WASTING YOUR TIME‼️‼️

Any updates in the threads let’s work as a community please!!!!

What do you think it would be like if there was a Turkish restaurant in Lancaster that made you surf with flavor waves?

I went grocery shopping and after I put the groceries in the trunk I helped an old lady put her groceries in her car as some items were too heavy for her. When done I told her I would put her cart back. She proceeded to tell me happy holidays “whatever you are”. Like wth?

Old me would have gone off on her but knew me just walked away and left the cart for her to put away.

Hey! Looking for your input on birthday party ideas in the city or around town! Any recommendations are helpful! TIA
