where to begin PA or MA

Written on April 21, 2008 by KIOSK

images.jpegimages-1.jpegWhere did our great coun­try begin Penn­syl­va­nia or Mass­a­chu­setts? We are start­ing work on an Amer­i­can col­lec­tion and are trying to decide our kick-​off state. Opin­ions would be appre­ci­ated!

    I’d have to say Mass­a­chu­setts. The Boston Tea Party, Lex­ing­ton & Con­cord (Paul Revere), the Con­sti­tu­tion, BEER.

    As a Mass­a­chu­setts native I have to concur. Some of the oldest set­tle­ments in the coun­try started as tent cities there more than 100 years before the Boston Tea Party and they’re still up and run­ning. Penn­syl­va­nia aside, don’t let anyone from Vir­ginia try to dis­tract you on this point. MASS is where it’s AT.

    Appar­ently, the oldest city is in Florida. Saint Augus­tine, FL. As a person born and raised in MA, I was sad to dis­cover this. It’s kind of a cool town, though, with really weird archi­tec­ture. Go to Martha’s Vine­yard to see the gin­ger­bread houses in Oak Bluffs (began as a tent camp and evolved into won­der­ful tiny houses) and the wampum bracelets made by the first nations people in Gay Head (and Kate Taylor, sister of Sweet Baby James). I just found your shop today and think it’s lovely.

    - Penn­syl­va­nia! although i’ve never set foot in MA. …I live in pitts­burgh (in a “re”developing part of town known as lawrenceville) and it’s CHEAP! …the people are friendly…and us twenty some­things are trying to make some­thing of our town.

    when you do PA you need to hit Route 30 between Gap PA and Lan­caster PA. It has recently seen a pro­lif­er­a­tion of Outlet malls, but the sur­viv­ing PA “dutchsploitation” is some­thing to behold. If you hit it in the summer time you can even catch the annual Kinzer’s thresh­er­man reunion where people drag out all their old orig­i­nal farm equip­ment. Steam pow­ered trac­tors and inter­nal com­bus­tion engine trac­tors referred to as ” oil pulls”. man, there’s so much amer­i­cana in south­east­ern PA it may kindle some optomism. Don’t forget to check out the vast vari­ety of Shoo fly pie man­u­fac­tur­ing as well…
