My most recent visit to the Eisenhower was my first visit, and it was a pleasant experience…read more I went to the Eisenhower to see the touring production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. The show was great, but that's besides the point. All the staff at the theatre was very polite and more than willing to assist me, along with the rest of my group, to our seats. I felt the restrooms could have been more centrally located. Walking down all the steps to the basement level to get to the restroom was a bit of a nuisance. My other complaint was how the seats are set up inside the theatre. There are no center aisles. So, if you have a seat in the center, you have to walk in front of a whole bunch of chairs... Or you have to say "excuse me" 10,000 times as you walk in front of people. Overall, I'd return to the Eisenhower, but I'll probably try to get a seat near the end of the row.

I've also seen the Alton Brown presentation (and met him!) and David Coperfield. During each of these events I sat on the lower level somewhere between the front and the middle. The sound at the venue could be better as it gives the illusion that the performer is father away from you than where they are standing. It sounds kind of weird, but that's what it felt like to me. Overall, it's an average venue that is close to us, so I really can't complain.

Before we could get the application in the guy in charge of the food vending is Rick Snyder and he sent us a email telling us that at this time they are not accepting any funnel cake vendors.

Love the types of artists. You will see art like metal sculptures, basket weaving, some steam punk, salvage artists, and traditional painters. There is typically country or 50s/60s rock played by bands. The festival is laid back. Parking is good with typically 5 buck spots at private lots. The arts and crafts at this festival are typically all over the map. But all of it is a joy to view. It is easier the navigate than the one up the road a well.

My family is still talking about how great the parties were.

This was one of the worst restaurant/bar experiences I've had in a long time. From the moment we…read morearrived until we left, the service was disorganized, slow, and unprofessional. It felt like the staff had no sense of urgency, and simple requests took far longer than they should have. Instead of enjoying the evening, we spent most of it waiting and wondering if anyone actually knew what was going on. The biggest disappointment was the bar. I ordered a Last Word cocktail, which is a classic cocktail with a well-established recipe. It should have a bright green color from the combination of green Chartreuse, maraschino liqueur, gin, and fresh lime juice. Instead, what I was served was bright red. A Last Word is not supposed to be red. Even a quick search online will show that virtually every properly made Last Word is green because of the green Chartreuse. A red drink tells me the recipe was significantly altered or the wrong ingredients were used. If you're going to serve a classic cocktail, it should at least resemble the actual drink. The poor service combined with the incorrectly made cocktail made for a very disappointing experience. There are plenty of restaurants and bars that take pride in their hospitality and their bartending. Unfortunately, this wasn't one of them. I won't be returning, and I can't recommend it to anyone looking for good service or well-made cocktails.

We had our wedding at Tussey Mountain Lodge, it was the perfect pick for our rustic fall theme…read more The lodge Manager Jessica was just the best, we met with her FOUR times before the actual date, she accommodated us every time! Everything turned out perfectly. We had our ceremony by the lake with just a few family members and it was a beautiful day, we moved to the lodge for the reception, and everyone had a great time. The space was just the right size for everyone (we had 90 guests). The outdoor area had tables which a lot of guests spent time outside, which was very nice. The only thing I wasn't a fan of much was the food we chose (I myself am a VERY picky eater) but my guests said it was great!

This cozy wine bar was a fun stop for a PSU weekend, while getting out of the college town. The gentleman that took our order was kind, engaging, and very helpful when we were making our wine selections.

While they do not serve coffee, there were cheese plate selections that I saw others order. All looked so good!

It's…read moreamazing how students have to learn to manage their time in school and also learn to organize their belongings to fit in their parents' vehicles at the end of the school year. The campus provides a large wheeled bin to help students carry their belongings from the dorm to their cars. You must sign the bin out and return it by a certain time; otherwise, you will be charged a late return fee. There is a donation room designated for usable items you no longer want or need. The donated items go to the local Goodwill. The PSU campus police don't issue tickets to non-registered cars during the move-out period as long as you put on your flashers. Bottom line: that dorm room assigned to you better look like the day you moved in, or the student/parents will receive a bill for trash left behind, items left in the room, and anything damaged.

I think my tuition was $2,675 per semester back in the late 1990's. Good times from what I think I remember from those days in metropolis junior. Anyone who hasn't visited in the last 10 years would be amazed by all of the changes on campus. Tons of new buildings and lots of roads now closed to vehicular traffic, which is a good thing. Lots of changes in downtown state college as well. Many new high-rise buildings and development. Come back for a visit and enjoy all the university has to offer.
