Delco born, then lived in SNJ from age 9-25, then ten years in Chester County, now 15 in Tioga. Is this Appalachia? Overall, yeah. I learned this the week I moved here when, after I finally found the Radio Shack hard by a dairy farm on a dirt road, I discovered that it was also an RV dealer, a piano and organ dealer, and had an impressive array of taxidermy courtesy of the couple who ran the whole thing.

I've loves the music since I was little. I'm getting back to playing guitar and that's the direction I'm headed. Looking to learn some stuff.

I don't think she knew that at the time. When she was in school it was Pittsburgh and surrounding and Philadelphia and surrounding. It was a while ago. She lives in Ohio now.

Nope. None of the Northern Tier counties do, nor a lot in the middle. When my sister borrowed my grandmother's car while she went to Susquehanna University she had to bring it down to Delco for an emissions test.

Ugh. That same guy alleged that I was going 70mph UPHILL out of town. In a shitty state 2001 Dodge Caravan my company bought at the Harrisburg auto auction. Not if I stood on the gas pedal, pal. Then he went on to remind me that it was Halloween and there is "a lot of drunk driving". I'm in professional clothes with a briefcase on the seat beside me in a minivan. At 2 in the afternoon.

Well, you've got Vinny's or the A & W West End Grill in Coudersport that are both good. Unfortunately the Burning Barrel is not open on Monday, in Wellsboro you've got Becks Bistro and Wellsboro House... Some of the restaurants in town don't do lunch. I don't want to be negative about my less favorite places in town but there are other options that are meh or nothing special (or, if you want both, we have a Pizza Hut). There are pizza joints and sub shops that are ok. I can't speak to the quality of the places in Wysox or Troy because anytime I'm passing through either we're on the way to my in laws and don't need to stop to eat, but I do hear good things about Oliver's in Wysox.

There's kind of a neat old hotel in Wyalusing you could stay in, I don't know what sort of accommodation you'd find in Meshoppen but regarding Meshoppen BE CAREFUL OF THE 35 MPH ZONE. They have like one cop and he always seems to be working and gives zero breaks.
If you come into Wellsboro for lunch unfortunately the Red Lantern House is closed Mondays but Becks Bistro is decent. Another consideration - the Burning Barrel out at Rt 6 and Colton Point Road.

Seriously though, those look good and that's a really good idea. I love enchiladas.

Encinitas? I think your phone autocorrected to California. We always do an array of appetizers on New Year's eve. Tomorrow, Baked ziti and meatballs.

If I had a choice among those I'd choose WCU just because there's so much more going on there. I went to a school near Ship and while it was nice to be close to DC and such, it didn't compare to being able to hop on the train and go to Philly. I lived in Downingtown for 10 years and there's a lot I miss in that area.

Reply to comment by stormycat0811 in Where can I find someone in Pennsylvania to buy and get me some things for christmas? by thedjwonder12
Yep. I like to make a yellow cake and spread peanut butter on it while it is still warm, then melted chocolate chips. Chill briefly. It's like an upgraded PB Tandykake.

I used to drive to Delaware for work every day and frequently I'd have this guy in front of me with a plate that said GONOVER. I had this whole theory in my head that he'd had some sort of near death experience, that he'd "gone over" or something equally profound and life changing. One morning he turned into the cafe in Greenville where I was headed for coffee and I thought here's my chance, I'm just going to ask him. So I said hey, I'm behind you most mornings and I am just so curious about what your plate means. He goes, "oh, like, when I was in college? We'd say, like, I'm going to the cafeteria, you gonover?". That was it. That was what he paid extra for to put on his Saab.

I'm still trying to figure out if the truck I saw with ILV TNA was declaring someone's love for Tina or someone's love for T & A.
