Joined Atlas Obscura in 2020

I've been exploring Pennsylvania since the early eighties with a keen interest in hiking, food, museums, cultural events, antiques, roadside attractions and arts. Philadelphia is my favorite city to visit, though I really feel at home in the mountains. I have a great love and respect for animals from the majestic to the lowly. I am willing to drive a hundred miles for great pizza and I have a serious sweet tooth. Supporter of sideshow talent, physical theatre, drag, circus arts, burlesque and OOAK people.
