And my hometown continues to garner accolades

[QillerDaemon]

I was conceived across the river in New Hope PA during a particularly cold winter. My dad was a resident artist at New Hope Farms, an art and acting colony (still there?) in the late 50's until the family had to move back to Galveston TX. My sister used to tell me that when they still lived in New Hope, they'd have to drive across the river to get groceries in some small town, I guess that was yours, maybe? Either that or Doylestown PA, not sure. But any way, my mom and sister really hated to leave that area, and Dad wasn't happy about it either, they all loved it up there.

If I'd been born up there, we might have been neighbors!

I grew up in Lambertville,NJ...hard on the Delaware River...just a handful of miles upriver from where General George Washington crossed to defeat the Hessians in Trenton. In this video....they show The Lambertville House...now a bed and breakfast, but back in my teen years and for many years before...it was a restaurant/hotel. It was where my first job was at sixteen, washing dishes in the kitchen of the restaurant. It also shows a pork/beef restaurant called More Than Q. This is just across the street and down an alley from the Lambertville House. Both of them are split by my bank. So many times I would go the bank and I would park across the street from More Than Q in the bank parking lot and the damned smell from the restaurant was so damned enticing...it should be criminal. Lambertville was a way different town when I grew up! The boutiques and antique stores and restaurants that they speak of in the video flooded the town years after I had moved out and it drove local property taxes sky high and as a result....many long time citizens were forced to move away because they could no longer afford to live in town.

Holy crap-the history around there must be off the charts.
