I’m driving up to Lafayette College from Philly this weekend and would love some recommendations for things to check out. Flea/farmers markets, thrift or antique stores, breweries/pubs, abandoned places to explore, really anything in the general vicinity would be neat! Thanks…

"I visited the center yesterday and was pleasantly surprised at the artwork & the revolving sphere of the Earth. It is quite an educational place and I will return again! I was surprised to find out later that Jeff has a great aunt that follows me on Facebook; I hope I get a chance to introduce myself to him on a return trip"
