Pottstown, Future Temporary Home

Lately, I have been doing some in-depth research on the effectiveness of bleach on roden--wait, I mean, on the small town in which I and my Adventure Buddy, Nicky are going to spend a month pretending to work at a nuclear power plant. Of course, I am talking about the wonderful metropolis of Pottstown, Pennsylvania.

First of all, Pennsylvania was the 2nd state to ratify the Constitution, 5 days after Delaware (and 1 day after my future birthday) on December 12th, 1787. It is called the Keystone State, for which I can only guess is due to massive amounts of Keystone Light being drank day after day at schools like Penn State.



I assume this is the state mascot for Pennsylvania.
But enough about the drunken residents of the entire state. Pottstown is interesting enough on its own. I think.


Anyway, I am amazed at what a town barely larger than Bay City (~22,000 people, compared to the 26,000 who lived there in 1960) can have so many more interesting things than my shitty town. For example: WE GET TO GO TO A WAWA! I am so excited about this.

There's a Planned Parenthood there, so I can abort my food babies after eating at awesome places like the Pourhouse, a pub behind a pizzeria called Little Italy.

Also: there's a K-Mart. They still exist in the wild. I thought they were the stuff of legends.

There's also lots of things like a historical manor, an antique mall, and a highway named after the clinically syphilitic Benjamin Franklin.

I just bought a new Nikon CoolPix S9100 for documenting the Misadventures of Doug and Nicky in Yankeeland. It shall be lots of fun.



As a PS, I will leave you with the website of the tattoo shop I hope to visit soon after arriving in Pottstown: Beneath the Skin
