One of America's most historic states, it ranges from the urban flair (and grit) of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh to the bucolic beauties of the Poconos, Dutch Country, and Bucks County. And for history, Philly and Gettysburg! are absolute bucket-listers.

Longwood Gardens in 'Spring Has Sprung & U.S. Gardens Await Discovery'

Spring is here, and summer's already around the corner!  If you’re a flower gardener - and the National Gardening Association estimates that members of over a third of U.S. households are - you already may have begun to till soil and plant seeds. And those who like to travel as well as garden (as well as those who enjoy gardens more by watching than working), now is time to plan a trip to take in some of Mother Nature’s bountiful beauty. Gardens come in a variety of types, sizes and offerings.…

Deerfield Retreat & Spa in the Pocono Mountains

Admittedly, I'd never heard of Lo-Wei, a unique exercise class that combines yoga, strength training and flexibility that stretched my body in ways my mind never thought possible. But it is only one of almost three dozen fitness classes, all part of the dawn-to-dusk workout, weight loss, and education focus of the one-of-a-kind, all-inclusive Deerfield Health Retreat and Spa in East Stroudsburg, in the Poconos Mountains of Pennsylvania, where my friend Kathy and I spent three nights a while…

Kinzua Sky Walk cited in 'In the USA this Fall, Combine Foliage with Adventure'

Dan and Mary Stroudt oooh and aaah at the multicolored scenery below the hot air balloon in which they’re riding. The journey is very different for Mark and Marylee Sutherland as they help to paddle a rubber raft along a stretch of whitewater in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina.

    Bad news: The The great Bluestone Gallery in Milford, PA, which displays works by potter and bell-maker David Greenbaum and other nationally known artists and artisans, is going out of business. The good news is that Bluestone has dramatically reduced its prices for its final week. This is a chance to pick up quality pieces at a fraction of what they'd normally cost.

    Someone paid attention to my Sept. 3rd petition against fall foliage starting to early: It's peaking in mid-October after all, just as it should. Here's a quick report from a fall foliage walk with my wife, dog, and camera.

    We've made it to the top of this year's countdown of the best stadiums in Major League Baseball at The World on Wheels. Now sporting a marginally better team, Pittsburgh's PNC Park is even seeing a few sellouts. It's time to take an updated look at our pick for the best ballpark in the land: http://tinyurl.com/2g2xn8n

    “The sad part with trends is where are our American food roots? Where is the sauerkraut with bacon in it? It seems America’s national cuisine is still space vegetables and processed foods.” Sous Chef Corey Scott
