One antique shop here sits in an 1822 building rumored to have hidden a Prohibition-era distillery, with whiskey allegedly moved through tunnels underneath. Another fills three floors of an old hardware store and sewing factory. That’s just two stops on the same short stroll. Many shops sit within a few...

All-Day Breakfast Is Just One Reason Locals Keep Coming Back To This Harrisburg Pennsylvania Diner
Pancakes at dinnertime are completely normal here. So are scrapple, pork roll, and Belgian waffles long after the lunch crowd heads home. The doors open at 6 AM every single day. On holidays, the kitchen keeps going around the clock, which feels like a small gift to anyone working odd hours.

'Jamie Saves the Giffiewamp' is Cecil County man's first book
ELKTON — Michael Collins writes custom stories, prints them, designs covers, and gives them to children in his neighborhood as gifts. "I'm encouraging other authors to do the same," Collins, who lives in the Bay View area, said. "Write stories about a child you know. Those children will hold onto those books and remember them forever." Collins' most recent project, however, is available to everyone. It's a children's chapter book called "Jamie Saves the Giffiewamp." "Jamie is modeled after my great-niece," Collins said. The mythical creatures in the book include a Giffiewamp and a Wherkal. "The Giffiewamp is the smallest of the woodland creatures," Collins said of his imaginary character. "They live to 503. The way they escape is they can wrap their large wings around themselves and disappear." Collins describes the Wherkal as a sort of mythical "hungry hungry hippo," referencing the children's board game. "The Wherkal eats everything green and never stops eating," he said. Collins said he wrote the book – a process which began more than 10 years ago – with age-appropriate vocabulary, longer sentences and action. "I've always felt a lot of children's books are written down, he said. "I didn't want to do that.

Fair Hill artist exhibits paintings of local backroads
NEWARK, Del. — A Cecil County artist’s new exhibit at the Newark Arts Alliance takes visitors on a stroll through the backroads of Fair Hill and surrounding areas. The “Backroads: Recent and Local” exhibit features a collection of pastoral scenes painted by artist Kevin McLaughlin. “This collection of paintings from the last couple years represents my attraction to and affection for our local and regional landscapes,” McLaughlin said. “Represented in this show are New Castle County, Cecil County, Chester and Lancaster counties, with forays into the north Pennsylvania wilds and the eternal mountains of the Shenandoah.” The exhibit features more than 40 works primarily painted in oils on canvas, with a few older works done on paper. The show opened on Oct. 20 and is on view through Nov. 19. A reception is planned for Nov. 13 from 6 to 8 pm. McLaughlin was born and raised in Delaware and is now a longtime resident of Fair Hill. “I feel a deep connection to the area and the rhythms of its seasons and scenery,” he said. “I wander the backroads with my camera looking to capture compositions, light and weather phenomena, and occasionally someone fishing or hiking.

This example of advertising art is not, strictly, an historical artifact that has been mailed. This advertising card was included in a bundle of vintage postcards I saw recently. In the US, four-color printing of commercial advertisements increased dramatically in the last decades of the 19th century. Printing exhibitions at...

Belmont Theatre a treasure in our community for 94 years | Opinion
The Belmont Theatre, formerly known as York Little Theatre, has played an important role in the lives of countless people over the past 94 years! Founded in 1933, this theatre gave local individuals the ability to be part of something bigger than themselves during the challenging time of a deep depression. Looking to unite their interest in performing and engage in something joyful, individuals brought their talents together. People forgot their troubles for a while as they participated in productions held at the York Recreation Commission, the York County Academy Building, Phineas Davis Junior High School, and rented auditoriums. As the depression ended, a war began, and York Little Theatre built morale by entertaining servicemen at local camps. They continued to produce productions by leasing space throughout the community, but they wanted a home of their own. After numerous failed attempts to buy a building, York Little Theatre signed a lease purchase agreement for The Elmwood Theatre, a motion picture theatre on Belmont Street in East York. They took the title to the building in 1956. The following decades included glorious years, led by Artistic Director Bert Smith. He guided the organization through growth and success with integrity, tenacity, and
