While shopping at the West Shore Farmer's Market today, I went upstairs to Susan's Treasures…read morespecifically for a Rewine candle. I purchased a few of the Rewine candles from Susan's Treasures before, so I know the Rewine candles are of great quality and burn evenly down to the bottom of the recycled wine bottles. That in itself is a great value, the wonderful scent that burns to the very end of the wick. I must say the staff at Susan's is consistently friendly and helpful. My only disappointment is that I purchased the last Rewine candle in the store.

The West Shore Farmer's Market is actually so cool!!!! Just went for the first time yesterday and…read morewas really impressed. It was larger than the Harrisburg downtown one and reminded me of Reading Terminal in Philly (less crowded but still lots of options). There's also tons of parking all surrounding the building. The upstairs section has small specialty shops; the lower level is full of food vendors -- from produce to fresh pasta to tacos to pizza to pierogies to quiches. They also even had plant stands and floral arrangements. I got 1.5lbs of fresh made spinach fettuccine from Fasta & Ravioli, two very tasty bagels from Bagel Lovers (foccacia flavored and everything egg bagels--both were SO delicious and a great texture; they also had tons of other varieties like pumpernickel, onion, and blueberry, all made fresh daily and for a very reasonable price -- I think I paid something around $3 for my two bagels). I could've spent tons more time there but unfortunately was just stopping by after running an errand in the area. Needless to say, I will be back!!

Stopped by the market after a coworker mentioned they had opened a new fried chicken restaurant…read moreinside. I decided to give it a try, and overall, I was impressed. The fried chicken was the highlight of the meal. It had a golden-brown, crispy coating and was cooked perfectly--juicy, tender, and not dried out at all. The portions were generous, with some of the largest pieces of fried chicken I've seen from a hot food counter. The mac and cheese was creamy and comforting, making for a great side dish. The cornbread muffin was moist, soft, and paired well with the meal. The only downside was the potato wedges. They were seasoned well, but a few pieces tasted a little overcooked or burnt, which took away from an otherwise solid meal. Overall, this was a very good first experience. Between the large portions, fresh food, and flavorful chicken, it's definitely worth stopping in if you're looking for a quick comfort-food meal. I'd happily go back and try it again.

Fast forward a few years and I took classes there with another artist who is fantastic and the lack of professionalism from the owners of the Mud Queen was disgraceful. Not only were they disrespectful and were bullying the venders in that space but were also rude to the customers that were there for a class. They were hovering in the class and talking maliciously about the artist holding the class to the clients taking the class. I will not go to one more pottery class with the Mud Queen as they are bullies and supper unprofessional.

The once-thriving Colonial Park Mall is now relegated to one major store anchor, Boscov's, a few…read moreopen stores, and self-service kiosks. Nevertheless, as a dead mall, it's a wonderful place to walk for a safe, climate-controlled, traffic-free place for daily exercise, especially if the weather is rainy or very cold outside. I walk around four times the perimeter of the mall and get in about 9,000 steps according to my Oura ring. It's a great aerobic activity because the uneven corridors add variety in elevation. The mall office is still open, and I believe the mall security is available if service is needed.

A tomb for local nostalgia, plagued by ghosts of its dead social relevance, the Colonial Park Mall…read moreis a hollow shell. It is an empty, echoing chamber of dusty vaults that once held great names and popular brands that drew hundreds of shoppers per day. This once proud social hub would be horrifyingly quiet if not for the pop music piped into the empty spaces, the upbeat sounds distorting as they echo off the tile and concrete surfaces, blending the sing-song melody of a angelic spirit into a lost soul fighting its final descent into madness. Yes, the Colonial Park Mall is dead, but remains haunted, one might say possessed by a small community of vendors peddling curious wares and sinister services. And also cell phone stores. You would be forgiven to think the random, lone stranger walking by is the spirit of a former shopper who once used the mall for their daily walk and expired near the old Radio Shack and now doomed to tour its remains for all eternity. The mall is policed by cemetery watchmen, glassy-eyed custodians ready to expel loiterers and those without a shopping agenda. They wander through the ruins left behind by pretzel makers and shoe stores and clothiers and other shoe stores and Hickory Farms and even more shoe stores. And they converge every hour at an empty center court where children once gathered as a wise and cheerful Santa Claus would grant audiences and wishes from 10 to 11 and again from 1 to 3 on Saturdays during the holidays. Gone are the mallrats, their socializing now digital. Gone are the great savings events and sports memorabilia shows and special musical guests. Gone are the anchor stores like Sears and Bon Ton. Only Boscov's survives to give this empty space meaning. The mall itself is a parasite grafted to its flank. Come and peer into the past as thoughts of the post-apoclaypse rise from the vibe. To stand inside this dying space is to know the meaning of loneliness. To step beyond the threshold of the jubilant Shoe Carnival is to be stripped of all joy and hope.
