SPRING Spring has sprung, and for many across the state, it couldn’t have happened soon enough.

The sweet smell of budding trees on the cool evening breeze tantalizes our senses.

Lawnmowers are fired up and the scent of freshly cut grass fills the air. Spring is time for all of us to dust off our hiking gear and get out on the trails, or pump up those mountain bike tires and go for a ride. It’s a time of activity and renewal for everyone, everywhere.

The Evolution of the Modern Day

ROAD TRIP Story by Becca Taschner. Photo by George Sheldon.

The past twenty years have brought so many changes in technology, it has completely changed the way we travel. Historically, to take a road trip, you did it in one of two ways. You would either a have a general idea of what you wanted to do and where you wanted to go and wing it, or you would plan out a trip on a map. Now, all that you need is in the palm of your hand, and in many cases, programmed into your vehicle.

Particularly Pennsylvania Story by Gwendolin Schemm.

Every beginning comes from an ending. A turn of a corner. A blank slate. A new chapter in a book that still has yet to be finished. At the ball drop, we entered the roaring 20's. Maybe not the 1920's, but still, the 20's all the same. To celebrate a new year and new decade, let's reflect on 20 things that are particularly Pennsylvania.

food&drink It's Always Summer at The Porch Story by Jason Krysinski. Photos Courtesy of Eat'n Park Hospitality Group, except where noted.

As snow continued to float down from the sky, topping off the four inches that already had piled up on the ground, it felt odd to be heading out to hang out on the porch. But we were not going to sit outside in the cold air and watch the snow fall...

The Porch at Siena, Upper St. Clair, Allegheny County.

We were beating cabin fever in the cozy dining room at The Porch restaurant in Upper St. Clair, just outside of Downtown Pittsburgh. Enjoying good drinks, food, and the newest Friday night feature at The Porch at Siena, their Acoustic Friday’s featuring live music entertainment from 5:30pm – 8:30pm was just what the doctor ordered.

Since 1949, Eat n Park restaurants have been a Pittsburgh staple that have taken care of hungry Pennsylvanians and travelers far and wide. The Porch restaurant concept is just another example of the Eat n Park Hospitality Group’s dedication to nourishing the public.

There are two locations in the Pittsburgh area where you can find The Porch and their locally sourced culinary delights.

The Porch at Schenley, located in Oakland, adjacent to the University of Pittsburgh campus near the Cathedral of Learning, and The Porch at Siena, which is in the suburbs of Pittsburgh near South Hills Village Mall.

fresh ingredients for their food. These appetizers did not disappoint. The Crab Dip was made up of large pieces of jumbo lump crab meat that was hearty and succulent. The Risotto Balls were crispy and the ultimate comfort food. And the Calamari was tender and tasty.

I would be lying if I didn’t have a hard time deciding on my main entrée, but in the end, I went with a warm and hearty meal option.

The Jamison Farm Lamb Bolognese was the perfect showcase to represent everything that The Porch restaurant is all about.

The house made pappardelle, roasted tomatoes, feta, and the basil & garlic bread could not be the more ideal presentation of fresh. And the lamb, which is sourced from the Jamison Farm in Westmoreland County, could not have been more delectable.

Sadly, this dish won’t be available for long as they prepare for their spring menu, but we also tried their Miso Cod, which was equally exquisite and will be available in the foreseeable future.

The entire evening was just perfect throughout. And I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the acoustic entertainment presented by local musician Doug Carnahan. His selection of songs were the perfect backdrop to the experience.

I would certainly recommend visiting The Porch restaurant at any time of the year, but particularly on Friday nights to get the full experience.

PLAN YOUR TRIP You cannot lose with either locations of The Porch. Both have amazingly prepared locally sourced cuisine. The Porch at Schenley could be the perfect end to a day at the Carnegie Museum or a visit to the University of Pittsburgh campus. The Porch at Siena is good for relaxing and recuperating after a day of shopping in South Hills Village Mall. Whichever you choose, go thirsty and go hungry.

The Poconos Not Just for Honeymoons

Family adventure...squealing tires on asphalt...and eagles soaring overheard...the Poconos are more than just a place for lovers.

Sure, you can still plan your honeymoon or a romantic getaway with your sweetheart, but there are plenty of other things to enjoy in the northeast corner of the state, depending upon your likes and passions.

POCONO R A C E WAY IS MAKING H I S T O R Y. . .

AGAIN Story by Rene Hoy. Photos Courtesy of Pocono Raceway.

U

sually NASCAR drivers and fans

are talking about Pocono Raceway’s

“Tricky Triangle”, but this year it’s the NASCAR Doubleheader and Kids Free at the Raceway Weekend.

In an unprecedented move, racing fans get to witness two NASCAR Cup Series Races (taking place on consecutive days), a NASCAR Xfinity Series race, a NASCAR Gander RV & Outdoors Truck Series and an ARCA Menard's Series race all in the same week. Also, kids 12 and under get into the raceway for free. It doesn’t get any better than five races in four days!

25

The countdown to the green flag at Pocono has begun... fans are scheduling time off and preparing to bring their RVs, tents, tailgating gear, cars, family, pets, friends and coworkers to the 2020 NASCAR Doubleheader taking place on June 25 – 28, 2020. Start your weekend on Thursday, June 25 with the ARCA Menard's Series race. Be sure to purchase your raceway tickets, reserve your camping space, or book your hotel room now.

Don’t wait, reserved camping space is almost completely sold out. Camping fans can arrive at 2 p.m. on Wednesday and stay until Monday. Feel free to bring your pets along for their own adventure. Pocono has a first-class dog park in the infield guaranteed to keep your pet entertained while burning off energy.

The Mattioli and Igdalsky families work hard to make everything a fan-based experience. When you think of Pocono Raceway hopefully great family fun and adventures comes to mind. As a family owned track for over 57 years, Pocono has mastered creating a family-friendly atmosphere and events geared to keep even the youngest fans engaged and entertained. Watching the drivers navigate their race cars through the fast, tricky track is a fan favorite. However, while you’re waiting for your favorite driver to start racing, adults and kids can enjoy animal wranglers, carnival rides, zip lines, go karts, jousting, a soft play area for kids with sensory issues, disabilities and more in the Fan Zone and Kids Zone. Young fans under 42” can climb, crawl and slide on various camping themed playground equipment in the soft play area at Tricky’s Kit Camp.

While visiting the track be on the lookout for a red fox dressed in a fire suit. He answers to the name of Tricky. Tricky is the fun, loving, and mischievous fox who lives at Pocono in the Kids Zone. Young fans can join Team Tricky’s adventures through the Kids Club.

P

ennsylvania is blessed with many

locations for outdoor adventure and excitement. For both hesitant first

timers and gritty outdoor enthusiasts, the Delaware Water Gap and the Poconos region is the perfect place to find a thrilling experience. Opening for the season in April, Edge of the Woods Outfitters is the ideal location to plan and book your outing. With more than thirteen years of operating experience, Chuck and Rachele Cooper's family owned business will take care of your every need.

After a trip to Colorado, where the couple backpacked and enjoyed every moment, mostly due to the outfitters they found in each mountain town they visited, they decided their hometown would benefit from having a local outfitter.

Since 2007, Chuck and Rachele have strived to enhance the level of enjoyment of everyone that visits the area. With their location just two blocks from the Appalachian Trail and minutes from river access points, it’s the ideal location for adventurers on land and water. You can book a tour or make plans to strike out on your own adventure. But their property is much more than a location to make plans. Their shop has a large assortment of “tools of the trade” supplies that visitors can purchase. First timers can find quality items that will help them get started with their experience, while more seasoned adventurers can upgrade their gear before embarking on the next excursion.

KALAHARI: INDOOR WAT E R PA R K FUN FOR THE F A M I LY Story by Lauren Simko.

L

ocated in the Pocono Mountains

of Pennsylvania, lies the largest

indoor water park in America. Kalahari Resorts offers an amazing familyfriendly getaway that has activities for all ages.

From the minute guests enter the African-themed lobby, to splashing down on one of the many slides, this escape is sure to provide fun and memories that will last a lifetime.

Pinpoint: Pennsylvania

Kalahari is open the entire year. Since the water park is mainly indoors, families can take a break from the winter snow and ice and spend time in the climate-controlled 84-degree environment. During summer months and good weather, an outdoor water park and adventure center can also be added to the mix.

Of course, the water wonderland is the main attraction, but surprisingly, there is a lot more to see and do both inside and outside the resort. Gorilla Grove Treetop Adventures, their outdoor adventure center, is where children or the entire family can participate in train rides, mini-golf, rope courses, and zip lines, although only children 4-7 can participate in the monkey climb.

You may already be thinking between the water park and the outdoor activity center, there is more than enough to do, but Kalahari is just getting started. There are escape rooms, a 7-D movie theater, laser tag, mini bowling, and an arcade, just to name some additional activities. There is also an arcade which is always a popular attraction for my family, complete with skill and chance games, and of course, the ever-popular prize room. It should be noted that most activities do come with an extra fee, so be sure to check out the website prior to reservations to have a plan that can entertain your family while sticking to your budget!

There’s a Museum for Everyone in Pittsburgh Story by Gilbert Perkins.

Museum enthusiasts would be wise to put Pittsburgh on their list of places to visit.

Within the fifty-eight square miles, that is the steel city, lie well over thirty-five museums for all tastes and interests.

Pinpoint: Pennsylvania

The Carnegie Museum collection of Pittsburgh are the favorites of the locals and visitors alike. Including the Museum of Natural History, The Carnegie Science Center, and The Andy Warhol Museum there’s a wide variety of topics that interest a broad spectrum of individuals. Now through April 19, the Carnegie Science Center is hosting the Mummies of the World display, which is a must-see event for all ages.

A permanent fixture at the Science Center is the Miniature Railroad and Village, which is a museum in and of itself. This longtime favorite has been around for over 60 years, and continues to intrigue children of all ages. From the historically represented streets of Pittsburgh and Forbes Field to the famous architecture of Fallingwater, no attention to detail has been spared.

Heinz History Center and Western Pennsylvania Sports Museum is one of the most amazing and all-encompassing collections of all the history of the area. From reliving the Pittsburgh Steelers' Immaculate Reception to walking through Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood, there’s few places where you can learn more about the Steel City and the surrounding areas.

Baseball enthusiasts will love The Roberto Clemente Museum.

The museum is housed in what was once Engine House #25 for the city of Pittsburgh. The Clemente Museum contains priceless relics of his life, which was much more than just a Hall of Fame baseball career. In addition to Clemente’s World Series Rings, bats, gloves, and uniforms you experience the personality of a man that collected art, music, and literature.

Pittsburgh has been called The Smoky City, The Steel City, The City of Bridges and The City of Champions. Considering there are thirty-seven formal museums within the city limits, I propose it also be known as The City of Museums.
