A couple years ago, I wrote about the Lehigh Valley Ale Trail, a now defunct website (my blog post is still very much intact) promoting the robust (I’m currently re-watching Season 1 of Veep, and if you watch, my use of robust will make more sense to you) craft beer scene down in the Lehigh

Much like hikes, books, and things to watch on Netflix, I can’t seem to keep up with all the breweries I’d like to experience. It doesn’t hurt that they’re popping up at rapid pace. There’s currently over 5,300 breweries operating in the United States. That’s insane. To give you some context, in 2012, just five
When your Saturday starts with a giant soft pretzel surrounding a mound of kielbasa and cheese, with a nice, tall hefeweizen to wash it down with, you know it’s going to be a solid weekend. I spent a weekend this past April exploring the craft beer scene in Richmond, Virginia (or #RVA, I learned, if
I think “Allentown” is probably my favorite Pennsylvania-centric anthem. And by favorite, I mean I really love the song and am jealous that it’s not about Scranton or NEPA because I want a song about where I grew up and it just fits so well.

Sometimes I forget that I didn’t start this solely as a travel blog but also for the whole”weekend fun” bit. Sometimes you can’t get out of town but still want to do something fun and different. A themed barcrawl is the perfect answer to this. It’s not your everyday weekend,, gets you out of your normal haunts
I came across the billboard pictured above at the beginning of the summer and was immediately smitten. Not only did it hearken back to the “Tuesday is the new Thursday” motto we lived by the summer I first turned 21, but it’s blatantly trashy and in some grand form of poetic justice sits in a
Growing up in NEPA, summertime always meant picnic season. If you want to know the ins and outs of what exactly it is and what picnics are still occurring check out my post from last summer, but in the meantime, here’s the abridged version: NEPA has a long history of volunteer fire departments and various (mostly) Catholic
