The National Park Service’s Military Park located in southern Pennsylvania is constantly a topic of conversation in my family, but I never stepped foot on its soil until recently. When driving south to a wedding on I-81, I noticed the Gettysburg exit and decided […]

The American Miracle: Happy 4th of July

I stepped on the ice and instantly felt the chill. No, it wasn’t the coldness of the arena or the ice itself, but the chill recalling a positive and patriotic childhood memory. As a hockey fan (now a huge New York Ranger fan) I watched the game in 1980, I believed in miracles. Yes, I […]

I chose indoors (available), placed my order, and then quickly headed outdoors with […]

Sunset Sunday – Benton, PA (Happy 4th of July)

Sunset Sunday – Benton, PA (Happy 4th of July)

by on July 4, 2010 in Sunset Sunday

Sometimes the search for ‘Americana’ needs to take people out of the city. And although I love the 4th of July celebrations and fire works display of New York City, to find a unique slice of America, that apple pie making corner, I believe (at times) one must venture to the countryside.
