Minersville, PA




Welcome to beautiful Pennsylvania! Several people from this small town asked me where I was from and when I said Hawaii they blatantly asked, "Then, why are you here?" They don't give their state enough credit. Pennsylvania is beautiful-friendly people, natural beauty, and so much to do!
Scott grew up in Minersville and is otherwise known as a "coal cracker." It is a former mining town of row houses and middle class, blue collar workers. This city boasts great hiking trails, locally made ice cream, and delicious eastern European food like perogis, halupkis, and bleenies.
What made the visit so special were the childhood friends that he has not seen in 25 years. It was nice to finally put faces behind the names of I've heard so many stories of.
