Thursday 7/29/10 ~~ Boardwalk Pizza, Birds ~~ & more
Thursday 7/29/10
I had a mid morning Dr’s appointment so last month I scheduled the day off .
It was REALLY NICE having the day off from work……
especially considering the recent job drama…..

Many of us are excited to know this place is being transformed
into a new gastropub called HOP ANGEL – brought to us by the
owner of Grey Lodge, a beer mecca…..

The plan is to carry an assortment of Craft Beers.
It is located in the former space of Blue OX,
formerly Old Brahaus in NE Philadelphia –
about 30 minutes from Ivyland.
My DR’s office is next door so I did the recon after my appt.
Check out the sign BUILT in 1683…
WOW – that’s an OLD building!

danny diehl , sister Pat & I went to lunch at
Maple Glen Pizza – 15 ish minutes from Ivyland.
we heard from our friend Ryno
they have pizza like the famous Mack & Manco’s
on the Ocean City, NJ boardwalk.
|
 |
|
The pizza is not surprisingly called….. BOARDWALK PIZZA!
|
 |
|
it was really quite tasty but thought it was a
little too saucy. The lady at Maple Glen told us
next time we order just tell them Light Sauce.
Will DO!!!

I’m certain it chirped & jumped into the water
immediately following the photo shoot

afraid that you’ll lose all you’ve got.
Too often we sit back and take what life gives us.
Like holding a bad hand of cards,
always folding instead of raising the stakes.
Never wanna bluff and go for
it,
afraid that you’ll lose all you’ve got.
But you can’t win big if you don’t bet big.

What would helen do? 
That’s one thing I miss about living in MA – all the old buildings. We’re not going to find any here in AZ that were built in 1683! I also loved how many business were in the older homes, yet they still looked like families might live in them! Not far from where I grew up there was a little craft shop that was in one of these older homes, & it had a certain charm you just don’t find out here in the desert.
Yea but we don’t have all those great Cactus & rattlesnakes you have……seriously – it IS cool – the History we have here on the East Coast.
