Mother's Day Brunch

The day is nearing quickly. You know, that ONE special day that every mom gets, Mother’s Day. This year it’s on Sunday, May 12 and I’ve got the job of making restaurant reservations for our gang in Lehigh Valley. I’ve found ten great places to take your mom, and I’ve listed them in no particular order. Some are offering special brunches and others are opening up special for the day.

WHAT IF: Summer Olympics 2024

It seems that Philadelphia and Pittsburgh have been sent letters by the U.S. Olympic Committee to gauge interest in hosting the 2024 Summer Olympics.

Aside from any boost Lehigh Valley may get in overflow from a Philadelphia games, what if Lehigh Valley pulled the upset and won the bid for the games outright?

Lehigh Valley Football Players

This Sunday the underdog Baltimore Ravens will take on the San Fransisco 49ers in Superbowl XLVII. While enjoying the game with good food and beverages, you can wow any out of town visitors with all of the National Football League talent that has been home grown, right here in Lehigh Valley, Pa.

I can't wait to do these again

Everything old is new again and the “same old, same old” is not humdrum. Sometimes attractions and events that happen each year are the most fun Lehigh Valley things that I want to do again this coming year.

April 4th, 2013 is Opening Day for the Lehigh Valley IronPigs. Last season, our ‘Pigs fell short of replicating their playoff run of 2011, but they were in the hunt until the very end. Meaningful baseball down the stretch starts with a good April and I’ll be there again to cheer them on.

Get Social

The web, the internet, the interwebs, cyberspace, whatever you call it, it’s not getting any smaller.

They, whomever “they” are, said the internet would shrink the world, and maybe for a while, it did, bringing us all close together, but now, with the number of social media sites out there, it seems to be getting much bigger again. How do you get through the clutter? How do you choose what to be on and what to invest your time in?

It’s all about community.
