Go Antiquing: Adamstown, Pennsylvania.

June, 2011


If one is looking for antiques or merely wants to look at antiques, there is no better place for such than Adamstown, Pennsylvania. Adamstown probably has more antique stores and antiques malls per square mile than anywhere else. What’s more, just one of the antiques malls in Adamstown could consume an entire day of roaming around and looking at the items for sale. However, depending on the time of year and the economy, it’s best to go on the weekend as all of the mall/stores are not always open everyday. Nevertheless, Adamstown is a great place to look for antiques.

Just so that you are aware, most of the antiques dealers know the value of what they are selling so the items are not always cheap – as you might find in garage sales and such. However, if you are seeking any antique items in particular and can’t make it to Adamstown, contact me: Adam, and let me know what you are seeking. I’m always willing to go to Adamstown and rummage through the wares in the stores.

Delaware Water Gap, Where Northern New Jersey Meets Northeastern Pennsylvania.

February 21, 2011

When looking for an enjoyable drive through the country without having to go very far, take a ride west from New York City through Northern New Jersey towards Pennsylvania. This is a nice ride through the North Jersey countryside. In New Jersey, take Interstate 80 and head west towards East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania. As I said, once past the suburban areas, this is a really enjoyable ride in the country with interesting scenery. The Delaware Water Gap is also a scenic place with fresh air and plenty of hiking in the region. The Appalachian Trail is traversed along this ride shortly before reaching the Water Gap as well. The Water Gap is near the Pocono Mountains on the Pennsylvania side which offer skiing during the winter months and scenery throughout the year.

Pennsylvania

October 14th, 2009


Pennsylvania is a state in which I previously spent a significant amount of time and in which I have many friends. As that state is now causing me grief concerning my substantive rights - as well infringing on the rights of untold thousands of others, I will not comment on any possible recent journeys in this state. I may revisit this stance in the not-too-distant future after I take legal action in this aforementioned matter. Rest assured should that Pennsylvania State agency begin to crumble as a result of any Constitutional challenge I may successfully initiate against it, other such unconstitutional agencies in several states will likely follow; and I believe all Americans affected by such will be better off and more free for the effort.

PS. Nevertheless, the folks in Erie seemed friendly and polite.
