This Overlooked Pennsylvania Town Has Homes Under $150,000 That Locals Are Snapping Up Fast

Here’s a question worth sitting with for a moment: what if the best place to live in Pennsylvania isn’t the place everyone’s already talking about?. Altoona has been sitting quietly in the Allegheny Mountains, doing its thing, building its community, and maintaining its character while the rest of the country has been busy arguing about which overpriced city is the most desirable place to spend all of your money on rent.

Nittany Antique Machinery Association Identifies Potential Permanent Home in Potter Township

This story originally appeared in The Centre County Gazette . The Nittany Antique Machinery Association is moving toward purchasing a nearly $4 million property along U.S. Route 322 in Potter Township that would provide a permanent home for its popular antique machinery shows, a year-round museum and a community event center. Attorney William Burnett, who represents NAMA, told The Centre County Gazette on Nov. 10 that the nonprofit organization is negotiating to purchase approximately 106 acres and several existing buildings at the former #1 Cycle Center Harley-Davidson dealership property near Centre Hall. "This is our best shot to give the community what Nittany Antique Machinery Association was originally formed to do, which was to acquire land and build a museum," Burnett said. "And that's what we're hopefully doing this week. Just not building the museum because it's already built." The proposed purchase comes as NAMA prepares to leave its longtime location at Penn's Cave . Burnett said the association hopes to place the property under contract this week, with a potential closing scheduled for late January. "This is an exciting milestone for NAMA and represents the beginning of a new chapter in our organization's history," said Preston Weaver, NAMA's second

Centre County farms work to offset losses after spring freeze left little fruit to pick

In early April, temperatures in central Pennsylvania climbed well above normal and hit 85 degrees. During this brief moment of warmth, the apple trees on Harner Farm grew their flower buds in white and pink, two weeks ahead of schedule. Then cold weather came overnight on April 20. By morning, a freeze had settled across several East Coast states. In Centre County, temperatures fell into the 20s. Since the warmth forced Harner Farm’s flowers to bloom early, just a few hours coated in the freeze was enough to destroy every single one, said Chris Harner, its owner. Not a single tree grew an apple to pick — a similar reality for many farms across the state. Last week, $10 million in state disaster relief grants were issued to 319 Pennsylvania fruit growers in 48 counties to help offset the losses. Harner Farm was bought by Harner’s grandfather in 1945. Though it’s grappled with weather damaging its crops before, the current owner said it hasn’t faced this kind of total devastation in over 30 years. This fall, local, college students and a few regulars still visited the farm to browse pumpkins too heavy to carry and take photos near the sweet

DOC NYC 2026 Review: There’s Strong Shelf Life in an Old Way of Life in Brian Becker’s Felicitous “Mall Country”

It’s apparent early on in “Mall Country” that Leo Karruli didn’t know what exactly he was buying when he won an auction to purchase the Johnstown Galleria in a small Western Pennsylvania. Scouring the internet for real estate investments after becoming a successful restauranteur in Florida, achieving the American dream when he worked his way up from being a dishwasher from Albania to ultimately having an Italian place of his own, he couldn’t pass up the opportunity to buy a fully functional shopping center for just $1.4 million, though as his wife Irene notes, there wasn’t much wiggle room to back out when he made an impulsive bid, only to learn there were no other interested buyers.

State College Area Bubble Tea Shop Closing

A State College area shop specializing in boba tea, coffee and a variety of specialty drinks is shutting its doors after a little more than three years in business. TeaFé , located at 1633 N. Atherton St. near Walmart in the North Atherton Place shopping center, is closing at the end of November, according to a post on the store's Facebook page and a sign on the shop's front door. A specific date for the last day of business was not provided and management did not respond to a message seeking comment on Wednesday. TeaFé opened in September 2023 in the 2,400-square-foot space that was formerly Carver's Deli along the shopping center's retail strip. It has offered a wide selection of boba, milk tea, matcha, yogurt drinks, coffee, lattes, frappes, shakes, smoothies, specialty tea drinks and more. The shop's food menu has included beignets and other pastries, as well as musubi and onigiri. TeaFé sought to set itself apart in the area's bubble tea market through both its offerings and atmosphere. "We did not want to be just another cafe that serves boba or coffee," the business wrote on its website. "We wanted to create a space for anyone and
