Four businesses once a stone’s throw away from one another now share the same, new digs—the Neighbors & Smith building on Market Street. “I’m thrilled to be a part of this project, said Kim Over, owner of Underneath it All, a 35-year Camp Hill business. “I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else.”

Time may be tickin’ away, may not be on your side and might not even be your friend. But, recently, time was the guest of honor as Chapter 158 of the National Association of Watch & Clock Collectors (NAWCC) gathered at Messiah Village in Mechanicsburg to mark 25 years of honoring time and the devices that keep it. James Kreiser came from Palmyra to mark the occasion. Many years ago, he started collecting and fixing clocks as an inexpensive hobby. “Clocks are amazing little machines,” he said.

Yellow buses line the cul–de-sac to usher students home after a long day of learning at the Circle School. Though the building resembles other public schools, the students at this private institution experience a very different kind of school day. They are engaged in “self-directed” learning, in charge of their own education.

Situated in a snug space, Fraulie’s German Delicatessen & Import Shop carries authentic, hard-to-find European favorites. Walking into the store from bustling Third Street in Lemoyne, customers are engulfed in flavors from the Old World, surrounded by German bread, cheeses, meats and sweets.

Intensity, drive and endurance. Faster, further and more. That’s how exercise and weight loss have traditionally been approached. But there’s another way, a way in which weight loss serves as the byproduct of exercise, not necessarily the motivation. In this way, mind and body care are addressed together, as one. Body IQ Life, a Camp Hill-based Pilates and wellness studio, offers such a holistic approach to exercise. “Movement is thought in motion,” said owner Janine Galati, a certified Roma

Two gray gargoyles hung on the white posts of the 1880s-era home, an antique clock mounted on the same. A rusted cast iron stove with a flue that went nowhere afforded the final proof: A maker lived here. “Maker” is a television term for those who practice the art of steampunk, and Thomas Willeford of Harrisburg is a master. His home serves as headquarters for his business, Brute Force Studios, and his workshop is where all the steampunk magic happens. Willeford describes steampunk, a term coi

That morning cup of Joe, water poured through a filter over grounds or delicately French pressed. You add a bit of creamer and sprinkle in some sugar, or maybe you leave it black. After a slurpy, hot sip—ah—the day can start. But where does this delicious concoction come from, who grows it, and why should anyone care? In March, Chris Scott, general manager of Midtown Scholar Bookstore, took a journey to Honduras to find out. This trip was an unexpected one. He had planned to visit Sweden when
