The Week that Was: News and features around Harrisburg

Robert Lawson was appointed to Harrisburg City Council last week.

The last week of January delivered a busy news week for Harrisburg. In case you missed any of our reporting, we have it all wrapped up, with our stories listed and linked below.

Harrisburg officials offered an update on the Mulberry Street Bridge homeless encampment as the city prepared to clean up the site. They provided details on where occupants went and what the city’s next steps would be.

Harrisburg University’s Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship is on a growth path, about to open a new facility in Strawberry Square. Our magazine story explains how this incubator is helping to stoke new businesses in central PA.

Historic Harrisburg Association released its annual list of “preservation priorities,” bringing to public attention its concern for some of our area’s historic buildings and structures. Read our online story to find out which local properties topped the list this year, as well as recent “successes” and “losses.”

Jay’s Boutique is a snug shop that specializes in affordable, fashionable clothing and accessories for women. In our magazine story, read about owner Janica Wright and why she believed a store like hers was needed in the Harrisburg area.

Life Lion roars through the air, rushing to save lives. Our magazine feature tells the story of the helicopter ambulance service that quickly delivers patients to Penn State Health’s Hershey Medical Center.

Mulberry Street Bridge homeless encampment was in the process of shutting down last weekend. One of our writers was there to offer a firsthand report as the last occupants searched for a new place to go.

Robert Lawson is the newest Harrisburg City Council member, appointed Tuesday night to fill an open seat on the body. Find out who applied to be a member of city’s legislative body and how sitting members chose Lawson.

Sara Bozich has a full lineup of fun things to do this weekend in her “Weekend Roundup.” This week, she also has embedded her podcast in the column, so readers can learn even more about what’s up in and around Harrisburg.

State Street in Harrisburg’s Allison Hill neighborhood has a reputation for being a dangerous road. However, the recent death of woman hit by a car has been ruled a suicide, according to city officials.

The Week that Was: News and features around Harrisburg

January 20, 2023 | by Lawrance Binda and Maddie Gittens

Volunteers with Harrisburg-based The Belong Collective cleaned up trash under the Mulberry Street Bridge on Monday.

It was a full week of news here in Harrisburg, and as always, we were here to cover it. In case you need to catch up on this week’s happenings, look no further.

“Broker” is playing at Midtown Cinema this month. In our column, find out why our movie reviewer calls the film “beautiful” with “powerful storytelling.”

Freebird Yoga opened recently in Mechanicsburg, offering beginner and advanced classes to students, our magazine story reported. Choosing to take a leap of faith, owner Jessie Davies opened the studio that she had long dreamed about.

As Harrisburg’s Mulberry Street Bridge homeless encampment continues to clear out, due to an eviction notice by the city, local officials, activists and unhoused residents voiced opposition. In our online story, find out more about why many have called the decision “unfair” and “appalling.”

Jessica Jackson was surprised that, when she came to central PA, the area lacked exposure to capoeira. She now teaches the Brazilian dancelike martial art at the Richie School of Dance in Highspire, our magazine story reported.

John Maietta makes history come alive through his engaging presentations held across the region, our magazine story reported. His lectures cover a range of topics, from how the states got their names to deep dives into Islamic art and architecture to the history of the zipper.

The Ken Burns Film Festival is set to take place at Gettysburg College’s Majestic Theater in February, our magazine story reported. This will be the first time that Burns has ever premiered his work in a theater.

“Nocturnal,” a new dance club, will soon open at the former Susquehanna Ale House in downtown Harrisburg, our online story reported. Restaurateur Justin Browning, owner of J.B. Lovedraft’s Micro Pub, hopes the opening of the nightclub will help revitalize the city’s nightlife.

Nonprofits assisted residents in need as they moved out of Harrisburg’s Mulberry Street Bridge encampment this week, our reporting found. The city also extended is eviction deadline from this past Thursday to Monday, at the earliest.
