How I love the hallowed halls of a good library, and HACC's is one of the area's best…read more I discovered the local community college library in 1990 when I was first a student there, but I've had a life long history of haunting libraries wherever I wind up, so it didn't take an essay assignment to send me a-wandering in its direction. The HACC library is well-stocked with classic and current titles, and they also maintain an excellent selection of magazines. The reference desk staff are very helpful and patient. My husband is currently taking courses at the college, so I tagged along recently with the specific intent of meandering through the library and amassing a stack of books to check out. As soon as the sliding glass doors gave way and I bucked a hip through the turnstile, the inimitable library smell beckoned me to the stacks on the second floor and I was in heaven. I was pleased to see a wide array of Bukowski books in the poetry section, many new, posthumous releases and older titles as well. There still sat one of the copies I used to check out years ago, and the sentimentalist in me could not resist a peek at my long-gone due dates. The art and photography sections are as well-rounded as a Botticelli nude, with many over-sized titles available for check-out. And although my eye turns toward the artier areas, know that their sections on politics, science, and history are equally outstanding. I often recommend the HACC library to folks attending other schools as an excellent resource....I think it's an oft-forgotten locale to those not currently enrolled at the community college. Alas. It is so well-maintained that it deserves some love. Enjoy a cheap, relaxing, educational afternoon at our local college library (it's even open Sunday 12-5). Or just call me a nerd.

This past Sunday was the first time we visited the Governor's Residence. On a special occasion of…read morecourse -- the Annual Holiday Open House! You see, normally the GR is only open for tours during the months of April, May, June, September, and October between the hours of 9:30 am and 2:00 pm. I don't think anyone would take a day off from work just to go on the tour, do you? So this was a golden opportunity that we didn't want to miss. Now it was for the Christmas holidays so it was even more the reason to visit. There were a total of 8 Christmas trees inside the GR! Garlands and ornaments were everywhere. Santa Claus was there for picture taking. The Christmas village and the 3 trains that were running on the tracks -- so fascinating! There were free hot ciders, hot chocolate, and cookies. All of the staff were out greeting people and answering questions. Choir was singing Christmas Carols and the pianist was playing funky tunes. Governor Wolf and his First Lady, Frances were there shaking hands with visitors and posing for photos. And most of all, the mansion itself was simply amazing, as ornate as a residence can be! We were fortunate to be part of this occasion on our first visit. We had such fond memories of the time we spent there.

Was here for an awards ceremony held by my place of employment. The grounds are beautiful! I…read moredidn't get to check out the entire inside of the mansion, but what I did see was clean and spacious. We were able to park right out front which was convenient. There is also a small lot on 2nd and MacClay. Very nice experience!

Worst utility company and is always asking for increases. Power is out and ice storm near, shame on…read moreyou!! Although we know big business has no shame all they care about is more money and horrible service. Power has been out so far 2 hours. I wish you could give no stars. Power goes off and then comes back on in the past should have known this would happen so why don't they have something in place to determine if something isn't working.... Disgusting

Whenever the power goes out, I always call PPL to report it. And they're so lovely. They tell you the reason and give you an estimate of when power will be restored. Last night they said by around 230. 210am our power came on. Crucial :)

I frequently visit Hershey and am always looking for new things to do, therefore I decided to go…read morecheck out the Hershey Archives. The Archives are directly underneath the Hershey Story and although appointments are not needed they are reccomended. Eventually, a staff member from the Archives came up to the front area of the Hershey Story and took me downstairs to the Archives. Once down there, I sat down in the Reading Room. Down there was a variety of books showing historical pictures and a collection of regular books that impacted Hershey as a town and the company. While in the reading room I saw a variety of pictures of Milton Hershey in a variety of places and places all around Hershey including the hotel, the Milton Hershey School and the zoo! While in the reading room the archivist got some other information for me about the more recent history of Hershey including the "Derail the Sale Movement." Altogether, the Hershey Archives are an amazing collection of historical information all about Hershey!

This museum in a railroad tower (aka cabin) houses a restored interlocking machine that once…read morecontrolled the tracks in the area. The admission is free. Unfortunately it is not wheelchair accessible. It is only open on Saturdays at this time. There is adequate nearby parking. The exhibits are somewhat 'geeky' and may be uninteresting for pre-teenage children. The exhibits have been painstakingly restored. The machinery operates a computer driven simulation. It is possible for visitors to interact with the machinery. The friendly, knowledgeable docents explained how the machinery worked. I found their explanations to be fascinating but it was a little too technical for others in our party. Our docent assumed that we were familiar with words like "catenary", "GG-1", and "interlocking". This is, of course, the challenge for something like this. It is difficult to cater to different levels of previous knowledge.
