I love alliterations and couldn’t resist ‘Handsome” for the Harrisburg Podcast episode. Well don’t give me credit, Teddy Roosevelt used the word “handsome” first in the city, when he dedicated the new capitol in 1906. He essentially decreed and his words now appear on a tile inscribed inside the building itself. “This is the handsomest […]

by Craig Zabransky on August 29, 2014 in Destination, Photo
I traveled to Harrisburg. Wait, where? Harrisburg, the Pennsylvania state capital city, Harrisburg? Why? Yes, that Harrisburg and I took the trip to take a look at a city and its culture.

Wally Lake Fest, the three day weekend festival held on Lake Wallenpaupack is just days away.

by Craig Zabransky on February 13, 2014 in Beach

Woods? Deer? Canoe? Did you say, “Beach?” Probably not. As I mentioned last Thursday, my definition of beach […]

by Craig Zabransky on September 1, 2013 in Sunset Sunday
Just as I entered PNC Field I felt the first drop; it started to rain. Heading to my first Triple-A baseball game I didn’t even consider a sunset moment, I just wanted to stay dry.

Sunset Sunday-Lake Wallenpaupack Scenic Boat Tour
by Craig Zabransky on August 25, 2013 in Sunset Sunday

The Wallenpaupack Scenic Boat tour was not a sunset tour, but boarding the pontoon boat at 7pm (in late August) set the stage for a sunset on the water. The […]

by Craig Zabransky on January 27, 2013 in Sunset Sunday
I spend plenty of time in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania. My family lives there and it makes for a great escape from the city. I visit each and every season and honestly enjoy them all. I also captured a few sunsets over the years. This winter, over Christmas Break, after a fresh snowfall I […]

Sunset Sunday – Pittston, PA
by Craig Zabransky on August 14, 2011 in Sunset Sunday
Today, most of my family lives in the Pocono Mountain region of Pennsylvania. And Pittston, PA might serve as the equidistant center for everyone. So it made perfect sense to meet there for dinner. We selected Cooper’s Seafood House Restaurant and Bar. And with the new “Cabana” extension designed to mimic a Key West feel, […]
