favorite places in my hometown
midtown cinema (you can get coffee at the concession stand, occasional scholarly presentations accompany films)
the time bomb (incredible jewelry)
off the wall elegance (where i obtained my typewriter!)
the carlisle theatre (art deco theatre, still in operation)
issei noodles (PHO)
casa mani (plum bubble tea)
amelia s. given library (check it out)
comix connection (once had a huge collection of "wrapped in plastic" issues, which were bought up by ken and i! also workplace of lexi's boyfriend)
the toy cave (i have designs on an old casper figurine)
atomic warehouse (site of a beautiful day, tons of furniture i desperately envy)

(technically those places are located variously in harrisburg, mechanicsburg, camp hill, carlisle and mt. holly springs, which, if you were to come around here, would seem like the same place - it's all "the harrisburg area" and none of it is very big.)

i want to visit gettysburg. it was achingly cute to zip through. maybe i will move there for a while.

if anybody should ask i'm going to a seminar
