Over the last couple of years I’ve become something of a hiking snob. The hiking here in PA used to be something I would cite as a top reason to visit here, however I guess you tackle a high peak or two, and all of a sudden anything that doesn’t leave your legs

You could hardly go online anymore without seeing headlines for “Best US City for Beer” or “Best Beer State,” and new ale trails seem to be popping up everywhere. We’re definitely in the peak of this craft beer boom that you have to be blind not to realize is going on around us, and while
I was pleasantly surprised when a Thrillist article entitled “Overlooked Towns Near NYC You Need to Visit” that I was perusing the other day, started with the upstate town of Roscoe, which I ended up visiting one of the first nice Saturday afternoons of this past April, loved, and immediately started planning a more elongated
I decided to take a little break from the blog these past three months. But it’s the new year, and I’m ready to start writing and posting again. I made the executive decision to take a breather back in October, because, to be honest, blogging started to feel like something of a chore, something I

I’ve figured out the best strategy for gift buying: purchase a gift card for an activity that you’d like to do, and then gift it to whomever is entitled gifts for whatever occasion, promising them that you’ll be there at their side when they want to redeem it. Foolproof. This is both a short look
I used to describe Binghamton, New York, as the only place more depressing then Scranton. I’m not sure that’s true anymore, first off because it’s been proven that Scranton IS the happiest place on Earth, and secondly because Binghamton is not so shabby itself. Binghamton’s only about a forty minute drive from where I live
I spent last weekend out in Pittsburgh for my brother’s law school graduation, and while I’m super excited and proud for him (although, truth be told, a lawyer in the family probably would have been helpful during my undergrad years), part of me is bummed. When he’s done with the bar this July, he’ll be
