Hello I’m looking for a baseball team or a opportunity to play in the Allentown/Lehighvalley area or nearby to train and play with. My goal is to get experienced and take all the rust away as I used to play little league and now want to try and give college baseball a shot. I am 19 y/o, fast, athletic, hungry to improve and compete.

Schools/Education School Bus Drivers

2 Upvotes

If there are any school bus drivers in here I have a question...

Does the school districts hire bus drivers or is it outside companies? I'm a bus driver in Georgia and we're hired through the county which means county benefits, retirement plan and so on. I'm looking to relocate to the Lehigh Valley and didn't really see transportation jobs posted on the school sites.

Thanks for any info you can provide...

Recommendations Cafe to work in & indoor pool

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m working remotely from the Lehigh valley, specifically Easton. Are there any cafes you can recommend me where I could work for a couple hours (good wifi, owners don’t mind, etc)? Also I’m looking to incorporate swimming into my fitness journey so does anyone have an affordable, clean, indoor pool they can recommend me where I can go like once a week to swim laps in? The closer to Easton the better!

Thanks for your recommendations.

Pro Wrestling in Bethlehem!!

The LVAC is BACK—bringing the most jaw-dropping, body-slamming, heart-pounding spectacle in sports into Freedom High School, the alma mater of The Rock (yes, that Rock) and the legendary Commissioner Chris Reject, for a night you will NEVER forget.

FLOOR SEATS are LIMITED. BLEACHER SEATS are CHEAP. And 100% of the proceeds go to support PA Special Olympics athletes!

The Lehigh Valley Athletic Council has ALWAYS stood with the community—raising spirits, raising funds, and raising the bar!

Tell your friends. Tell your enemies. Tell the gym teacher who said you’d never amount to anything.

On May 17th, the LVAC brings the chaos, the comedy, and the cause back to Bethlehem.

BE THERE.

Recommendations 30 year old Guy looking for work

2 Upvotes

Howdy y'all, Figured I'd take my chances and luck here, but I am currently looking for work at the moment. I have a masters in Polisci, and have been underemployed for the last 15 months as a videographer and editor. My previous work experience is as an industry analyst for a marketing firm specializing in consulting on process and discrete manufacturing (of which I worked on the enterprise team looking at software and niche developments like exoskeletons and additive manufacturing).

If anyone knows of any jobs willing to hire, please let me know.

Foraging on 3rd Street

5 Upvotes

Does anyone know what is being foraged in the grass on 3rd St. in Bethlehem? I have seen this several times of people walking through the grass by the skate park and by the casino and picking up weeds from the grass and bagging them. Anyone know what they are foraging. Generally just curious.

Has anyone seen this Asian children's show from the early 2000's?

18 Upvotes

This is a long shot, but I sincerely hope that someone can help. Someone on the lost media wiki forums suggested trying regional subreddits for this mystery.

My brother and I used to watch this show on WFMZ. This would be in the early 2000s, but before 2010. It came on in the evenings around 7 or 8 PM EST. We lived in Warren County, NJ but WFMZ had the snow closures for our area back then. One day when the channel had been left on the TV all day, it came on and we were fascinated. After that we made it a point to try and watch whenever we could.

The main details I remember about the show was that it was, of course, all in an Asian language, though I'm not sure what. I was too young to be able to tell. It was mainly live action, with adult and children actors. It was also broken into segments, sort of like Sesame Street, where there was a main plot and then breakaway segments. One had claymation characters and that one was recurring. One of the human characters in the main segments was a witch who had a really weird laugh (kind of like "OH-CAW-CAW-CAW").

I have tried to find this show myself. I went on the Wayback Machine for WFMZ's website to see if I could find any mention of it on their line up, but there was nothing. I also tried TV Guide, but that didn't work either. I attempted to contact the station with no results. I've also searched for Asian children's shows, but none I find match the show I'm looking for.

If anyone out there has any idea what this could be, or if anyone remembers seeing this back in the day, my brother and I would be so happy to see this show again!

Recommendations Recommendations for cat groomers?

3 Upvotes

I’m in need of a good cat groomer for my long-haired persian. My cat doesn’t mind being brushed and lightly trimmed with scissors, but when it comes to more extensive grooming he can be pretty resistant. Would need someone who is used to working with cats who have an aversion to nail clipping and hair trimmers. He is otherwise super friendly and will forgive and forget quickly. Also I would be willing to help handle him if necessary. Price isn’t really an issue so any suggestions relatively close to the Bethlehem area would be greatly appreciated.

Has anyone who signed the 2year new grad nurse contract at SLUHN broken their contract and left before the two years? Did they make you repay? What if I just want to stay with the network but switch from inpatient to outpatient? Any insight is appreciated.

Youth sports recommendations?

Hey folks,

Relatively new to Lehigh Valley (currently living in Orefield, will be moving to Allentown in a few months). Trying to sign my 6 year old son up for some kind of youth sports program.

Seems like we just missed the age cutoff for the St Luke’s rookie program. If anyone has any additional recommendations, would be greatly appreciated 🙏🏾
