I love to pick an area and literally "pick" my way to and from by hitting up all the thrift and…read moreantique stores. It's a huge part of my life and thrifting is an inch I always need to scratch. Found this thrift shop while heading to Pottstown. At first glance it doesn't appear to be much but once inside you're transformed to a very nicely decorated and organized retail space - at least in the first few rooms. As you stroll thru the building the organization and display become less and less enticing into you reach the back which is literally like an unheated warehouse with stuff everywhere, somewhat organized. I did enjoy myself digging thru and discovering cool things but was deterred by the pricing which was more in line with an antique store than a thrift store. However quality for the most part (with the exception of those back rooms) was decent. In one of the rooms were handpainted portraits on large canvases, tons of them of different everyday, ordinary people. I enjoyed looking thru them to see if it was anyone I knew. Literally there was tons of them! Upstairs you'll find clothing and shoes, which felt like raiding a nursing home closet but not in a cool vintage way. Very matronly and not of current styles. Also clothing was very limited, probably primarily because of lack of space as the upstairs is a loft like area. There is a room for boutique items - with prices to match, only the brands were mall brands and nothing special. It is hard to maneuver in those rooms, and especially to social distance. I didn't feel comfortable up there at all. They did have some good stuff, but again nothing I was willing to pay that much for so I ultimately left empty handed. I will say this, don't let the run down, drab exterior fool you, if you're into the hunt like me this is one place you'll want to explore.

Pinball Gallery is located in the Great Valley Shopping Center near the back of the complex. The…read moreshopping center has a wide variety of different business along with enough parking for all of them. Pinball Gallery has limited hours, mostly in the afternoon and evenings several days per week. Prices for hourly and all-day play were reasonable. At entry are the newer pinball machines. These are not included with admission, but are set to coin-play, and it benefits the Multiple Sclerosis Society. The selection of machines was overall excellent with the majority of machines being from 1980's to present, with a handful of other older machines also available. Standout machines included The Shadow and three different Black Knight machines, but I also had fun playing JAWS. Pinball Gallery also has older arcade games and retro video game consoles, and compared to a previous visit, the arcade games were in much better condition. Almost every pinball machine was in good condition and the staff were helpful when one of the machines needed a ball jam cleared. Pinball Gallery is absolutely worth a stop when in the area, and is the best pinball arcade in the Philadelphia metro area.

They have a nice digital version of karaoke that you sign up with using your phone, which was pretty easy to use, and they have a lot of different old school arcade games. I recall playing some Rampage, maybe some other games here and there. They have pinball and darts and such too. The decoration inside is kind of medieval in the look, and along with that theme, they serve a bunch of kinds of mead. I can't recall which one I tried, but it was pretty good. They also offer a flight of meads, which sounded fun to try as well, and not a bad price. I'd come back!

The (?) owner had shown my friend and I this machine and how proud he was of the array of things offered here. Some Games seem to rotate here from time to time. I was a bit overwhelmed in a good way with the different game options and talking time w a friend. There is an old school NES and a virtual pinball machine with so many options. This place has been open since March. Why there isn't a review of this place already is surprising. You can drink and bring your own food in, and apparently they will play raunchier music at night like 9 PM and up. I didn't care what they played as long as it wasn't Baby Shark on repeat and I sadly know an acquaintance who would be all on that. The array of drinks include alcoholic slushies (flavors may change), regular bottled items, respectable Mocktail options, I believe a few cocktail options as well. There are regular non-alcoholic options as well. a really good variety. There are a few nice couches. I wish this place could be bigger and I don't think they have an elevator as you have to go down steps but the current space handles the current crowds well. It is a lot to maintain. They might open a few minutes late. If you're into retro games at all, you Must, I repeat, you Must go to the bathroom even if you don't actually have to go. If you don't have to go, it also means you haven't planned to stay long enough and didn't buy enough to drink. This place has been around since March and I am surprised it isn't more on the map. They started a social media advertising campaign. Also I was next door at Cafe Com Leite a few months ago for TooGoodToGo and I still didn't get a good enough look at this place. At the bar, there is also a mini guillotine expressing that you need to be 21. It is really important that I point this out!

Let's start with some history. I think it's safe to say that few people associate Daniel Boone…read morewith Pennsylvania but indeed he was born in PA on this site in 1734. Boone's father Squire in 1730 bought 250 acres of land and eventually builds a one room log cabin house with a spring cellar on the property. Daniel, the sixth of eleven children, received little formal education. Boone learned how to read and write from his mother, and his father taught him wilderness survival skills. Boone was given his first rifle when he was 12 years old. He quickly proved himself a talented woodsman and hunter, boldly shooting his first bear when most children his age were too frightened (whether or not that even actually took place is still contested but it sounds to good not to be true). Boone moved with his family when he was fifteen to North Carolina thus ending his time in PA and at this location. Why did this happen? The rumor is that it had something to do with Squire getting thrown out of the Quakers for allowing a daughter and then a son to marry non-Quakers. So after the Boone family moves what happens to their home and land? In 1750 Squire sells everything to William Maugridge, a relative of the Boone's from Philadelphia and a friend of Benjamin Franklin. Maugridge during this time adds the right-hand section of the current stone house on the foundation of the Boone's log cabin. Maugridge dies in 1766 and the land is purchased by John DeTurk. DeTurk remodeled the house completely by removing the remaining walls of the log cabin and replacing them with stone. After DeTurk dies in 1808 the land changes hands several times over the next century until eventually it's abandoned around 1919. Finally the rector of a local Episcopal Church buys the property in 1926 and in 1937 sells it to the Commonwealth of PA who dedicates it as a state historic site the following year which begins the restoration that will eventually to lead to the site that exists today. So if you go what will you see? In terms of original you've only got one thing. The spring cellar of Squire Boone's log house. The stone walls are the foundations of the Boone's log house; and along the one wall, the original spring can be seen flowing through a trough in the floor. Past that there are several other buildings on the site but they were either built by the DeTurks or they were moved to the Boone Homestead site during the renovation which lasted into the late 1960's. What's honestly the best part of coming here would be the grounds. The entire property is almost 600 acres which means that everything is very spread out and there is a small network of trails that can used for either hiking or for bringing your horse. Lots of wild flower fields, deer and the quiet peacefulness of the surrounding Oley Valley. Great place for a picnic and a great place to bring the dog. If you go: Current hours during summer are Tuesday-Saturday 10-4, Sunday 12-4 and closed on Monday. I think in the offseason the hours are only the ones on Friday-Sunday. The grounds outside of the historic area are 100% free to picnic/walk in. If you go inside the historic area and are seen by one of the staff working there they will hit you up for $3 per person Historic Grounds Fee that they charge. It's a very odd set up because while there are signs set up telling you this, if you hang around you will notice especially on weekends very few people respect this/it's near impossible for them to realistically enforce this. 45 minute guided tours of the Boone House are given at different times of the day (no schedule posted anywhere except at the visitors center) and they also have a short fifteen minute video at the visitors center about Boone and the history of how the site came together. Current tour prices are Adults - $7.00, Seniors/AAA Members - $6.00 and Children 12 & Under - $4.00 but I think if you pay the $3 grounds fee you can also walk around the Boone House on your own without a guide. We did the tour the first time we came last year and it was well done. One more thing about the grounds and the hours. On the way in you'll notice a large gate arm that can be used to block the road. Make sure you get outside the gate area before 4pm. If not and if the staff can't find you, you could be locked in and then the only way out is to call the state police or something like that, i.e. a huge hassle. Come for the beautiful grounds and even dabble in a little bit of history but either way there is something about the Boone Homestead site which makes it a picturesque winner. www.phmc.state.pa.us/portal/communities/pa-heritage/kentucky-frontiersman-pennsylvania-roots-daniel-boone-homestead.html
