From the Locals

I enjoy my time working from home, and I’m incredibly thankful for it, but the warm weather, beautiful main streets, and the urge to support my local businesses has me itching to get out. Several Bucks County stores and restaurants have made special accommodations to keep their shoppers and diners safe indoors and outdoors. If you’re looking to take a short and local respite for the weekend,

The drive-in movie is an unfamiliar experience for younger generations. Its heyday was in the 50s and 60s, then it lost its appeal in the 70s as VCRs became popular in American homes, eventually making the outdoor viewing concept nearly extinct.

I was born and raised in Bucks. Both of my parents were born in Northeast Philadelphia and raised in Bucks. My grandparents lived in Philadelphia as well. Even my husband, who was raised in Bucks, has family roots in Philadelphia.

My husband and I set out on our journey early on a Sunday morning. It was cloudy and rain was in the forecast, but we made the

“But how can you hate coffee?! How do you survive?!” said everyone I knew since my college days.

Yes, I’m not a coffee drinker. I love the smell of it, but there’s something about the taste that I don’t prefer. If you’re like me and you don’t drink coffee, it can be daunting to go to a café.
