[Lancaster]

We want to do all of our Christmas shopping (not that we do alot of it mind you) in Downtown Lancaster. I don't know alot about the stores, and what they offer, other than shopping at Zaps and Stans Record Bar a bunch in the 80s.



Anybody who knows the shops of Downtown, please enlighten me of your personal knowledge of these establishments - hidden gems, good deals, places that sell items for all ages, etc.



Any help/insight will be greatly appreciated!

There is so much to see and do in Downtown Lancaster:

http://www.downtownlancaster.com/

Friday - November 30 from 5:00 to 9:00pm the stores will be open and music will be at some locations.

First Friday in December (the 7th) is the traditional Mayor's Tree Lighting at 6:30pm followed by Tuba Christmas allof which take place in Penn Square. Wrap the missus up and take her on a horse drawn carriage ride around the downtown. Take the little ones to see the toy train display on the second floor of Citizen's Bank. Hit all the downtown shops and admire the decorations. Central Market is also open that night. Hager Arcade Mall is next to Central Market and will be open that night.

Get warmed up with hot apple cider or coffee/cappucino/latte or hot chocolate inside Prince Street Cafe. See the decorations at Steinman Park.

Check out shops on first block of North Queen and West King then walk a few blocks north to the 300 block of North Queen for more unique shops.

Have some fun!!!

zanzibar is a great store.i got a shaving bush and a tub of shaving soap from italy that is really good and lasts forever. the brush was around $11 and the soap around $10 .

if you want to give inexpensive gifts you can buy some exotic soaps there that are a bit pricey compared to dial but it is something a lot of folks wouldn't buy for themselves.

TheSpeechPlace -- I find it highly objectionable you chose this forum in which to try to contact Mrs. Cullen. There are other avenues you can use to pursue whatever issue you may have, if in fact there is one. I have reported you to the moderators. And I'm surprised no one else has objected to this before me.

WHOA!!! Man, Mr. speech therapist I hope you know that what you just did is severely illegal, at least in Pennsylvania.

Perhaps you thought you were simply stretching the collection law's allowance for "going nearby" to contact a debtor, but unfortunately by even mentioning a debt being involved you are now liable for possibly being forbidden from doing business in Pennsylvania again in the future, and, more importantly, LOSING ALL YOUR ASSETS TO THE PERSON YOU TRIED TO HARASS.

Yes, Pennsylvania defines your little note as "debt collector harassment", among other things.

I am personally forwarding a copy of your post to the State Attorney General.

Have a nice day

P.S. - MODS - PLEASE do not send this thread to the abyss! The state will want to see it publicly posted where all can see it. Thanks!

[hahaha]

One problem, they are not from Pennsylvania.

[citydweller]

Pennsylvania debt collection laws apply to any business operating anywhere in the world. Violators can be barred from ever doing business within Pennsylvania in the future, even by internet.

They can also be prosecuted, fined, and sued into the ground by victims.

Any citizen can report an observed abuse of a debtor's rights and dignity to the State Attorney General.

Please visit www.attorneygeneral.gov/complaints.aspx?id=451 and either fill out the online form or call and tell them what you read posted against mcullen on here.

[harv1]

It also helps to have a lawyer AND a judge in the family.... if you get my drift...

[hahaha]

Now that is the truth!

I would also contact the Federal Trade Commission:
www.ftc.gov or 1-877-382-4357

[citydweller]

thespeechplace.com is a Yahoo! merchant, and the above post by them is a major violation of just about every privacy and security policy Yahoo! has written.

But one of Yahoo!'s little niceties is that you can't contact them about anything unless you have a Yahoo! account

Anyone here who is a Yahoo! member PLEASE contact them, send a link to the illegal post against mcullen and also copy the text of the post in your email.

I worked as a bill collector for 3 years and NEVER saw anything this completely outrageous. Publicly embarrassing a person because of their financial situation is bad enough. For a company that claims to be providing solutions for speech impairment to do such a thing tells me they have precious little "compassion" for people with problems of any kind.

Everyone, this is another opportunity for us to band together in a common cause - take down a scumbag!

[why?]

Posting this is completely inappropriate and I hope you are put out of business!

I also wonder why you waited almost 3 months to cash this check!!??

[mcullen3212002]

Thanks to City Dweller for alerting me to this post.

I have lived at the same address printed on my check for 26 years and my telephone number is listed in the phone book.

I bought this book at Schreiber Pediatric where my son goes for therapy almost every week. They also have my telephone number and address.

I am easy to find and contact.

Please be assured I will be in touch with you ,Speech Place Publishing ,immediately to address this matter.

Thank you to all my friends on Talkback. I appreciate your help!!!!
