Who's ready for a weekend of adventure? If you are looking for a place to explore, check out the White Cliffs of Conoy along the Northwest River Trail. It is like stepping into an alien world.

Purchase a four-pack of 4″x4″ slate coaster set featuring the iconic 1930 Veterans Memorial Bridge that spans the Susquehanna River between Columbia and Wrightsville, PA. According to a recent LNP article, the 1.26-mile bridge is considered the longest concrete arch bridge in the world. It opened to the public on September 30, 1930. Each coaster was created using a 10-watt laser to engrave the image onto the slate permanently. Click the bio link in the profile to buy your set.

Local History Nugget: Lancaster’s Union Fire Company was formed in 1742, based on an idea of Benjamin Franklin. It was the first in the nation. Shown here is the Union Fire Company circa 1865. Image courtesy of @lancohistory.

✨On This Day in History✨

The man with the hat is back. And this time, he's bringing his Mom.

With tonight's full moon, here is a spooky story to pass the time as you wait in the pale moonlight. One evening, two college students went to Shenks Ferry to see the ghost of a woman who is rumored to haunt the ominous tunnel there. Instead, they spotted a Gollum (as in 'The Lord of the Rings') looking creature.
