While in NYC, at Chelsea Market there is a candy store that sells hard to find candy. My husband…read moreloves Clark bars & we found them there. With the high price & a November expiration date, we bought a couple. He tried to eat one & it was so hard that he was afraid it would break a tooth. When we returned home from our trip, I reached out to Boyer, took photos of the wrapper, exp. date, etc. & sent it to them. I was told someone would contact me. They never did. I reached out again & received a reply that the inside LOOKED flaky so it was fine. You've got to be kidding me. This is the way a candy company responds. No wonder stores all stopped stocking Clark Bars. If this is all the better the company is at standing behind their product, it's no wonder!

My extended family were in Hollidaysburg for the afternoon for a family event, and after the event…read morewe decided to experience one of Hollidaysburg's older pastimes... frozen custard! Now, I am not from the area, so it was all a new experience to me, but this being the original and seeing pictures posted on the walls from when my father and his siblings were experiencing this area as teenagers definitely brought on some good feelings. Reading about the history of the place, I found some interesting things that I am going to be relating to some other relatives. My experience there was excellent. We all got some form of custard for the afternoon, and it all went down quite well. The staff handled us all coming in like a herd of buffalos with ease, and we all came out of there happy as clams. I will definitely be returning the next time I am in the area (doesn't happen very often, living in Florida and all). As for those relatives? Well, I am going to be recommending a visit to my cousin in Australia... turns out there is one overseas location in Canberra, Australia, where she happens to live, so that will be a fun "sharing" experience between us!

I tried the lemon elderflower flavor, which was interesting but I didn't think I could eat a scoop so I opted for the classic chocolate in a waffle cone. The cone tasted super fresh.

I picked up a flier about their home delivery dairy service. How cool would it be to have a milkman!? People on my street use them and love them. The world needs more places like Vale Wood!

There are a few food vendors, and there is a motorcycle and out door clothing store. Across the street is the Farm Market and it is... Meh. Pretty over priced big selection of Walmart clearance items marked up. They do have a nice bulk Candy selection. Their produce is okay as well. A little on the pricey side. If you are in Altoona for a Sunday, it's worth it to spend some time. Big drawback though is the vendors decide to pack up at 12-12:30.

In a battle of ice cream shops near the tracks, Kristy's vs. Frosty's, well, let the tale of the…read moretape explain it. Location Kristy's is located right across the street from Norfolk Southern's Enola Yard, and the Susquehanna River. That alone adds some romantic feel to the shop. It is also right off US 11/15 so being off the highway is pretty sweet. Frosty's is located right under the Norfolk Southern's main line between Harrisburg and Pittsburgh, and right off PA Route 53. Good location, but when you are near water, you will always get a more lively vibe. Winner: Kristy's Experience Kristy's has several cute high school girls plus Kristy and her mother working hard to please the many customers throughout the day. There is enough seating but parking is a hazard. Plus the bathroom facilities are a bit obscure. Frosty's has 1-2 high school girls working hard to give you the best possible summer sweet. Parking is much safer and there are plenty of shady places to eat. No bathrooms on sight, unless you want to go across the street to Sheetz. Winner: Kristy's (only because of the bathroom situation) Food Kristy's offers a more eclectic array of food options a la Dairy Queen style, not just ice cream. Hot dogs, hamburgers, fish, chicken, and other items in between. And the portion sizes just keep increasing with each passing year. Frosty's only offers ice cream, and though it is creamy and delicious, serving only ice cream will get you so far. Winner: Kristy's -- I know it might not have been a fair comparison, but consider the source and know what you are getting before stopping in and getting something here.

I got a variety of layered donuts to bring home, and loved the many different flavors to choose from that are made fresh multiple times a day. The sandy beach was my fav! I was also very excited to see vegan donuts on their menu and had to try one - they are much smaller and more dense but have a lovely flavor and are made fresh! Parlor also has a variety of drinks, breakfast sandwiches, and even savory donuts to choose from. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I'm looking forward to visiting again!

Similar to other locations, it has welcoming Americana theming throughout and signature blue tiles on the floor. We went with the cookies & cream and raspberry pistachio donuts. As opposed to my prior experience with Parlor Doughnuts where they were prepared fresh, this location seems to have prepped a supply earlier in the day with a selection on display available for purchase. Both were great donuts, but lacked the texture as you bit into them that I had with my prior experience that put the donuts in the "next level" category for me. They also didn't provide the signature donut boxes, as they simply handed us a bag when we asked for a to-go box. Service wasn't all that warm & friendly or quick here, but still an overall good donut experience for me such that I look forward to visiting Parlor Doughnuts on my future travels.
