Some places here in PA you can buy the good ones as long as you can prove that you are not a resident of PA. I know for a fact that there is such a store north of Harrisburg on rt 15

Yeah, I moved out of the city 4 years ago, I live in Feasterville now, about 15 miles North of my store in Philly (Tacony Bridge).

And I'm in Bucks county (just outside Philly) at least once a year, usually at Christmas. And every year as I pass the general location of Nuttz I hit myself in the head for forgetting to tell him I'm going to be there.

We oughta consider a Philly get together some time.

I just recalled a bar in or around Philly.It was at a small airport.The bar was done up in WW1 flying style.When ya 1st walked in there were sand bags lining the walls.Inside there were propellers on the wall and pictures from WW1.This was some time ago early 90s.The place may not even be there anymore.I cant recall its name.

Cruising on High Street on a Saturday night... those were the days.

<----Graduated HS from Boyertown, PA

Last lived in PA, 10 years ago, across the street from the Willow Grove Naval Air Station.
(Worked at Lee's Hoagie House, if anyone knows the area. Great for Military hardware watching.)

No marine bio in PA... had to move. Still miss all my close friends up there.

91st Aero Squadron. It's still there. (well as of 2005, last time I was in PA)

I live outside of Reading, Berks County and work out of Harrisburg running trains to Allentown and Hagerstown, MD. Moved to PA in 97. Originally from Central New Jersey.

I know! That's why I hit myself in the head every time I'm there! I'm headed to Southampton on Street road and I go right through Trevose/Feasterville.

Right about when I cross Bustleton Pike is when I hit myself in the head and say "Gee I could have had a V8"

Sorry to bump the intent of this post - As for fireworks for PA residents, if your in the SE I refer everyone to Patriotic Fireworks in Maryland. Great selections (the real good stuff), and very affordable prices. I spend at least 2-300 every year and still have stuff left over for next year.

Rollins · « **Reply #54 on:** February 06, 2008, 03:14:18 AM »

Still didn't answer my question. 1 day 'till I fly into Philly for a stop over. Do I go to Pat's or Genos''s?

I live 5 minutes from a fireworks factory that sells everything from firecrackers to 1 1/2 inch mortor shells! Last 4th of July we special ordered 3 3 inch motor shells

. Of course we had to have a permit to get them and use them. It sure is fun to live so close to a firework factory.

They're across the street from each other. Try 'em both! (Geno's if you can only choose one.)

But if you want a really good cheesesteak go to the Happy Star food truck at Drexel University.
