100 Things to do in Pennsyvlania (Part II)

By brothwellp2 on June 9, 2014June 4, 2014

Last year around this time I decided to “celebrate” my 100th blog post by coming up with a list of “100 Things to do in Pennsylvania.” It ended up being much easier than I anticipated, which is good considering that one of my main purposes of my site is to celebrate and explore all the things do within our own

A Whirlwind Tour of the Jersey Shore

By brothwellp2 on May 23, 2014May 22, 2014

I spent this past weekend in NYC (or more accurately, Jersey City, with one night out in NYC) which didn’t give me a lot to write about (which is completely fine). I mean, I had a great time (and might possibly still be hungover-4am last calls are not your friend at age 28) but it was much more

Weekend Trip Idea: Mad Men Weekend in Hershey

By brothwellp2 on April 13, 2014

“I grew up in Pennsylvania. In a whorehouse.” This is not normally the kind of sentiment that comes to mind when you think of Hershey, Pennsylvania, the self-dubbed “sweetest place on Earth.” You’re supposed to think of Hershey’s kisses, and Reese’s Cups and the scent of chocolate wafting through the air. You’re supposed to think

I’m continuing on with the “10 Cheap & Easy Things to Do in _______” theme with my current home locale of Lancaster. If you haven’t read the posts on Philly, Scranton or Pittsburgh the basic philosophy behind this is that sometimes you end up at a certain locale to visit friends, or maybe attend a wedding

The Lancaster Beer Trail

By brothwellp2 on September 12, 2012September 12, 2012

Growing up in NEPA you learn to love Coors, Miller, and PBR (in an unironic manner). Craft beer wasn’t part of the vocabulary and microbreweries were few and far between. Regional beer was limited to good old Lion’s Head. Lancaster has a surprising number of small microbreweries and brew pubs. I say surprising, because while I was always aware of their
