an amusement park in central pa
i have such fond memories here itâs so lovely, you donât have to pay to enter just to ride the rides
very nostalgic old timey quaint energy that is also a bit liminal,, at least to me
design features include covered bridges, a water mill ice cream shoppe, and a north pole xmas themed store that has a year-round pole of ice outside
one of my fav rides is the haunted mansion. thinking abt it rn i can literally smell it, itâs musty perfection
i love the carousel bc it is soooo beautiful w classic music from an organ! and it has a ring toss, if you pull the brass ring you get another ride for free
oh yes and i forgot it also has a campground which im obsessed with

i havenât been on a rollercoaster in a very long time but growing up this was my absolute favorite. thereâs not any good pics of it bc itâs an indoor coaster and very dark! itâs one of the mouse coasters with a lot of sharp turns and multiple drops. i also LOVED the log flume there which doesnât make sense to me because in hindsight it definitely looked not very structurally sound and i have a hard time with tall roller coasters (fear of falling). but something about the water made me less worried?

1800s brick manufacturing plant frozen in time in Ohio. Ancient yet modern, alien yet familiar. Feels like a shrine to the rust belt gods

my sister just had a baby and i am considering the type of aunt?/guncle ? (the designation becomes tricky w gender lol) i may be. but ultimately the archetype of âcool auntââmysterious, distant-yet-warm, uninvolved in family dramas, arrives at family gatherings wearing strange, somehow stylish clothes, bearing copious gifts and floating on an air of urban lifeâresonates most soundly with me
this has also led me to reflect on how my momâs sister played such a key role in my  youth by revealing to me a foundational truth that this is not all that there is! âtwas a very hopeful message to me, a miserable child/teen unsuited to christian suburban life, forced to procure my wardrobe primarily from the womenâs section at the department store because that is what my mother deemed reasonable (and kohlâs cash)Â
some of the notable moments my aunt bestowed upon my adolescence include:
⢠taking me to see moonrise kingdom at the indie art deco theater in a nearby mountain townÂ
⢠driving me to philly for shows at tla even though she had no idea who the artists were and would stand in the back; also paying for all my meals and whims on our south street jaunts
⢠curating a collection of signed books from author visits at her local library, which sheâd always drop off nonchalantly as gifts (charles santore picture books, lemony snicket !)Â
⢠signing me up for 5ks and carting me along to her races
⢠explaining to me what a âlesbianâ is and taking me to meet said lesbians in a dimly lit new york restaurant where i tried alligator sausage and felt so urbaneÂ
⢠general trips to ny for broadway shows and museums Â
⢠introducing me to rummikub
⢠letting me roam free at community music festivals from late afternoon til dusk, where iâd encounter children from different counties, get in harmless trouble and infuse my life with the intrigue of those unknown to me but in those brief momentsÂ
