Home to perhaps the largest anthracite coal deposit in the world. Where hard men dug deep for hard coal. As they chased the veins ever deeper, the mines sowed the seeds of their own destruction.
Birthcity to Breaking Benjamin, point of the first ever HBO broadcast, and setting for the first night time football game played under artificial light..

My mom grew up in this town, so we would visit from Florida about twice a year when I was younger. Her family has been there for generations after they immigrated from Italy. The hills and trees are beautiful, the tiny downtown area has some great antique shops, and the old houses and churches are so charming. Pennsylvania grass has such a specific smell, especially in the summer. I miss that smell so often. I remember scooping clay out of the lakebed at Two-Mile Run and going to old car shows with my Grandpap in the summer. My Granny lived out in the country nearby, in Rocky Grove. It's a very quaint little American town! If anyone ever passes through Franklin, please try to stop by The Printer's Cabinet & Curiosities! It's an itty bitty building across from the town library that is packed to the BRIM, like the CEILING, with amazing vintage & antique oddities. The guy who runs it is so nice and it's still the best oddities store I've ever been to.

i used to live here when i was a kid in a big farmhouse next to a field of cows and a field of soybeans. population of about 200, with a butcher shop that always gave me a lollipop whenever i went in and the little italian restaurant rizzo’s that every major event happened at. i remember watching the fireworks on the 4th of july with our neighbors who ran the dairy down the street, i remember going on hour long walks through the fields, i remember eating raw deer corn off the stalk, i remember the hunting blinds in the woods nearby, i remember the farm kids coming to pick me up in the gator to go pick blackberries. pretty good place to be a kid. we didn’t live there long but i miss it a lot.

Right now i’m pacing around my kitchen head banging to incubus embarking on a fruit and vegetable power eating circuit. I’m taking straight up frozen broccoli and doing sets of 10x florets like it’s chin-ups or something.. switching of it’s 10 x Brussels sprouts.. I can barley even taste what i’m eating.. in between, I'm drinking cups filled with frozen cherries, blueberries, raspberries etc (taste like candy) … sure i enjoy the popular.. casual.. communal.. ritualistic.. aspect’s of preparation dining and what not.. but i think for even just 20 min out of your day it’s important enough to give an approach like this a try.. and i think there’s something to standing and moving while chewing and digesting that dials in your metabolic rate.. because before you say it, yeah.. i know about smoothies
You’re not only consuming multiple servings of fruit and vegetables in such a small window of time, but produce that is flash frozen on sight often retains more nutrients than fresh produce..
