2019 Summer Reviews – Railway Concession Stand
PRESENTED BY CACL …
I make no secret of my loyalty to Rotary Little League.
Sure, Railway made it to the Little League World Series, which was a huge deal. Sure, they may or may not have produced a better overall stock of baseball players. Sure, they didn’t use a pitching machine. Sure, they beat us in All Stars my 12 year old year. You get it …
… but Rotary was still better despite all this factual evidence of their superiority. Some things just don’t make sense, and they don’t need to.
But I put all that aside to give them an honest shake at a concession stand review.
NEW PODCAST – SERVANTS FOR ALL
Servants for All in Pottsville is an integral part of the community serving those in need. Today we spoke with Jeanette Triano, the Executive Director, about the vision going forward.
If you don’t listen to anything, make sure if you ever have extra food from a party or anything, bring it there. It will go to good use.
2019 SUMMER REVIEW – YORKVILLE BLOCK PARTY
The Yorkville Block Party is just one of those things that never gets old. It’s as good as you remember every time. It brings back so many memories of school starting, end of summer, summer flings … just all the good things in life.
No surprises in this review.
NEW PODCAST – DAVE HOLLAND
Dave Holland is basketball royalty in the Coal Region. You’re going to be blown away by his enthusiasm for teaching the game, teaching, and his zest for life.
Tell me this picture isn’t crazy to think about. Look at all those great coaches!
2019 SUMMER REVIEWS – JFK
I always dreamed of jumping off “The Tower” at JFK. But I wimped out, and now it’s gone, and now I’ll never know the feeling. Did jump off the “44” a couple times though.
JFK has probably one of the more innovative concession stand menus out there. It’s mind boggling.
NEW PODCAST – TEABERRY
Teaberry is, arguably, the best flavor out there for any kind of summer treat. Look at the pep in these guy’s steps after eating it in an old Teaberry Gum Commercial.
Our in house Coal Region food expert Lori Fogg from A Coalcracker in the Kitchen​ takes us through everything you need to know about Teaberry.
2019 SUMMER REVIEWS – SCHUYLKILL COUNTY FAIR
This was one of the biggest days of the year for me. Unbelievable event. Paul Kennedy and the entire Schuylkill County Fair Association knocked it out of the park. Record breaking crowds. Record breaking livestock auction. And amazing food.
FREE Shakespeare
People love to complain there’s nothing to do here. Sure, we’re not NYC or Vegas, but there’s plenty to do if you open up your eyes a little. This week there will be FREE shows of Shakespeare in the Garden at the Yuengling Mansion. Yes, there will be alcohol … you sold yet? Plus some amazing young talent performing.
NEW PODCAST – JACK DOLBIN
As many of you know, a lot of times, I record these interviews weeks in advance just to stay on top of everything. I had the pleasure of interviewing Dr. Dolbin a couple weeks back, and even though I knew he had been battling, it came as a complete surprise to hear he had passed.
One of the reasons I started this podcast was to preserve and showcase our history, and Jack Dolbin’s career is a huge part of our coal region heritage, and throughout his incredible path his coal region core always shined.
Start it at 18:35 for some great Jack Dolbin footage in this NFL FILMS piece.
