My favorite just down the street from me, the Big Green Ice Cream Machine! |
I took the opportunity to visit a couple of places that I had not ventured into previously.
First was the American Legion Post. Since I am not a veteran, I'm not normally allowed. But today, they were open and selling food, so I stuck my head in. Large hall, with a bar along most of one wall. Don't think a photo is appropriate, since it was pretty full of members and guests.
My next stop was the train station. They were running the trains on the big layout, and Ed, the society president, gave a little talk about it.

Ed giving his talk. Says he was "railroaded" into being president. |

Round house and turntable |

Looking across town east to the coal mine. |
|
Balancing rocks. Note gramma on top! Whimsy abounds. |
|
Hand built - not a kit! |

Membership info. |
Ed invited us back at Christmas time, to see the addition of two levels above the existing layout, complete with three waterfalls!
My last stop was the Fitness Factory. I met Larry, the owner. He's a (young) retired basketball coach, who bought the gym about a year ago. Really reasonable rates. I'm going to have to join!
Next door to the Fitness Factory, I met the young woman who runs the massage therapy place that the dogs and I go by several times a week.

Relaxing Note Therapeutic Massage |
I also met Dr. Joe, the Dallastown chiropractor. I'm looking for
someone who isn't going to try and lock me into "the program". He seems
a promising candidate.
More, later!
