CLAYSBURG, Pa. — This winter of discontent in the mid-Atlantic made finding the time and and place to ski or snowboard a tough one. My friend Ryan and I determined that Saturday, February 4 would fit our schedules the best and I spent too much time and energy worrying about the forecast for that day. [...]

BELLEVILLE, Pa. — In Mifflin County and several neighboring central Pennsylvania counties, every September 29 is Goose Day. In 2005, my wife explained it this way:
If you eat goose on Michaelmas Day, you will never want money all the year round.”
One reason for this belief is that Michaelmas (Archangel Michael’s feast day) was traditionally [...]
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — The Student Book Store is now selling replica signs of Happy Valley bars and landmarks. What a great idea! There are wooden replica signs of several bars, including Cafe 210 West (not pictured), Shandygaff, Adam’s Apple, The Gingerbread Man, The Darkhorse, Sharkies, The Phyrst, The Brewery and others. There are [...]

MERCERSBURG, Pa. — I typically get in one day of skiing annually and I was concerned that was going to be too warm when I went out way back on February 12 — I thought we’d be skiing in “white mud.” Thankfully, despite 42° temperatures, the conditions at Whitetail in southern Pennsylvania were surprisingly [...]

Getaways: Centralia, Pa., is one smokin’ hot town – We Love DC
Local blog welovedc.com is actually promoting a trip to Centralia, Pennsylvania as a getaway. The former village sits atop a coal mine fire that has been burning since the 1960s. It is suggested as a photography destination. Yeah, I’m going to be the loyal [...]
Thankfully, I have been able to avoid Katy Perry’s “California Gurls.” Bliss. Anyway, I saw the following video the other day from a link on twitter — Pennsylvania Guys.
They didn’t miss much, though they mispronounced Shenandoah — its Chen-Doe. Overall, they pretty much nailed the entire state.
So, is there going to be one [...]
ALLENTOWN, Pa. — For several years now, I’ve been wanting to try Yocco’s The Hot Dog King on the way back from my annual ski trip in the Poconos. Yocco’s goes back to 1922 and is perhaps the best known Lehigh Valley eatery. We stopped by the location near Lehigh Valley International Airport, just off [...]
