Also known as the college of the red doors. Seriously. Every single door on this campus is painted red–old ones, new ones, fat ones, double-ones, metal ones, wooden ones. They are all painted red. If it is not red, you cannot walk through it at Muhlenberg College. Check it out and see: Red door…
My hometown is getting cool! This new microbrewery opened downtown a couple of weeks ago, so we checked it out. 1787 is the year Hamburg was founded, and each brew bears a name with some local connection. Seemed to be really popular–so today I was just one of the crowd seeing this new place.
In Allentown, PA today, where this quirky little street certainly surprised me! I wasn’t expecting anything about it (except a paved road and sidewalks). I certainly wasn’t expecting the cute, matching, boxy houses, all with the top floor slightly bigger than and overhanging the bottom floor, all lined up on one side of the street.…
Here in my hometown, where New Places are scarce, I got in the car and just drove toward a potential destination. On the way, I saw a road I was pretty sure I had never been on before, Diamond Drive, so I turned left and then again left onto a little ally that I know…
Up here in my hometown of Hamburg, PA, I was worried about being able to find New Places to explore. Then a routine trip to the natural food store just up the highway in Deer Lake, PA, turned into an expedition to Mohammed Ali’s training camp when my mom casually commented that “Ali’s camp was up…
If I have driven past this place once, I have driven past this place a thousand times over the years, coming and going north and south to and from Pennsylvania. I always get a kick that the Gateway Candyland is located right next door to the Gateway Liquor shop, which you can see to the…
While down on the Wharf in SW DC to see a show at a different (not new to me) venue, I asked the nice folks at Union Stage if I could just go inside and look around. I had been curious about this venue, had seen a few interesting bands advertised there, and wanted to…
Like a brown paper package that you unwrap to reveal a box full of the most elaborate jewels, that’s how it is to walk into the workaday red brick building of St. Matthew’s Church near Dupont Circle. This church is probably most famous in American history for being the place of John F. Kennedy’s funeral…
My first day presented a few challenges– Still sick with a Christmas cold, sub-freezing temperatures outside, and still visiting in my small hometown where there isn’t a whole lot new to see after having grown up here. But I drug myself out to a new candy store in the area. WOW! Who knew all this…
