On this subject, I believe there is a new feature to Google Maps, I could be wrong. When creating a route with "start" and "end", the resulting map on the right side can be modified to your preferred roads by "clicking" and "dragging". Immediately, the step-by-step directions on the left will...

Yes , the old report by Badfish740 is exactly what happened. I heard the rock came from Trap Rock, up near Hopewell, but it doesn't matter. The story was written up many years ago in one of the L.B.I. newspapers by someone who was around at the time. As I recall, it was in the twenties. On it's...

If I may add one to the list, due to personal reasons, the main building of Admiral Farragut Academy in Pine Beach. Absolutely terrible. A former hotel. All due to money/greed. The powers that be wouldn't even transfer the museum contents to their other location in FL, instead sold everything...

After switching from vodka and tonic to beer in my early fifties, I have attended many beer festivals. I can never drink my money's worth; I just enjoy taking sips of all those fabulous brews. And yes, Stoudts in Adamstown does it the best. And they do it three times a year. The one in the fall...

PP, I actually do eat brown rice. L. PS: Weren't some of our founding fathers involved with the brewing of beer?

In CC Philadelphia, popular items are the electrical wiring access plates on the street lamps. I guess the junk yards don't notice they're all the same, have drilled holes, etc. Just aluminum scrap.

Bound's Beverages, Bensalem, PA. Past "best by" date. Very tasty. Re: Bud, I'd rather have my rice with dinner!

Tom, I agree. One of my favorite places. Lynn

"Smack 'em in the head". Had the urge many times during the 19 years I worked on L.B.I., traveling from PA. Sometimes I would have a helper with me and would point out all the interesting scenery from Pemberton and down 72. And they would just look at me with a blank stare! Oh well, I tried. Lynn

Geez, so many replies in such a short time...just for beer! My kind of gang! I can see that my next "tour" is going to have to be a beer tour. We have, in this tri-state area, so many great microbreweries. No additives and no pasteurization, just good flavor. They offer a selection that will...

I wish to thank you all for the fine comments and glad you enjoyed it. I had a great time with a great group! It was my pleasure. I really enjoyed a young lad's comment while looking out the trap door on the roof, "cool!". Perhaps Yeti's son? No better praise than that! Lynn

pinepaddler, Good choices! Hope you've been to the Drawing Room in Spring House. Also the Grey Lodge Pub. Remember, practice, practice, practice! Len

Thank you for the posting. Very nice! Len

Mark, O'Neals still there. And the Khyber. And Good Dog. And Monk's. Then for real down and dirty, McGlinchys. Or Dirty Franks! Lynn PS: Couldn't handle the yards at Dock Street!

l-a-c, great story! Neat thing to do. Ah yes, Dock Street Brewery, 16th and Cherry. The place that converted me from vodka and tonic to microbrew beer and been there ever since. Len

George, thanx much for posting those photos! Absolutely a fantastic barn. First off, it shows that the original owner had big bucks. Can you imagine hauling all that stone there, in those days? And such beautiful design and details for...a barn. Just great! Lynn

I'm glad to see they actually are useful. I grew up in the country and the nearest farmer had a bunch of them and their favorite spot to hang out was in the middle of the road. Len

Not only sneaky, but sly! But seriously, on the estate that I take of, there are many red fox and, over the years, I have never seen a rabbit. I think there's a possible connection. However there are many squirrels. I guess they're fast enough to get to a tree. Len

I see the message and that is why I asked permission. I will handle tour via private messages. However, there is, I believe, a possible connection. The Biddles of the estate Andalusia, just up the street, I believe were friends of the Whartons, Lippincotts, etc. and spent time at Batsto. Len

Well, I had a great time! First thanx go to Ben for one of my favorite websites and excellent photos. I had a sense you were not feeling well. Then, I agree: German, you're the best! Been on many tours, and they usually go on and on about one subject. You are like me, some knowledge of many...
