WTF wino, you like Dog’s but not mine?? I’ll remember this!
I couldn't like a post that referenced trousers. C'mon man! 1960 called. They want their pants back!
However, I did like you busting my balls!
Since discussing likes, someone please throw me a mercy like. I am at 2,666, can't be at that number!!

Wikipedia says:What are trousers?
“Trousers or pants (American English) are an item of clothing that might have originated in Central Asia, worn from the waist to the ankles, covering both legs separately.”
Central Asia! Who knew?

I figured this is the best thread to ask an off topic question. Are any of you old enough to remember a race track in Pennsylvania named Langhorne? I was talking to my grandfather about my upcoming family trip out east to visit friends in Trenton, and he started telling me of his many trips back in the 50's to see his old army buddy near Langhorne PA. He had a lot of fun out there in his youth it sounded like to me. Unfortunately one of my grandpas last trips out there his army buddy was paralyzed racing at Langhorne. Supposedly it was one of the most dangerous racetracks around. He told me to go visit the track when I head out there. What else should I sight see while I'm out there?
the old race track is long gone. the area is now mini malls and other businesses along rt.1. i arrived in the area in 1966 as a beginning teacher in the pennsbury school district. it was still going strong at that time. it was a dirt track, and i can remember driving the road during a race. it was like driving through the sahara desert in a sand storm. just dirt flying everywhere. never got to a race unfortunately, and it was gone a few years later.
Normally I'd say to go to Philadelphia -- it's a great city with something to do for everyone. Tons of events, world class museums, many historical sites, wide variety of excellent food, 30 min by train from Trenton, easy to get around ... but these are not normal times. I'd skip the city.
Bucks County PA is the area between Philly and Trenton. For the kids, consider Sesame Place (Sesame Street theme park). New Hope is a pleasant artsy town to stroll thru, small town feel.
I'm less familiar with New Jersey, though leaving is always a good rule of thumb. Seriously, I believe Trenton has a planetarium (otherwise would avoid the city). Princeton is nice for strolling thru. Great Adventure amusement park has a drive-thru safari -- do that with a rental car.
If you decide to hit the beaches, ask your friend about which ones suit your tastes, and plan to go as a day trip. Overnight is mega-expensive if you can even find a room. The boardwalks are popular, but even most popular beach towns have quieter residential pockets. Also check if that beach requires beach tags, and if they're available for purchase for nonresidents.
If you're up for a drive, do a day trip to Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, PA. (It's about 1:15 from Trenton, not much further than the beaches.) DuPont estate turned into one of the biggest and best arboretums in the North America. Plus lots of concerts and fountain/light shows. Plan on at least 4 hrs there, though you can spend longer, and you'll likely need timed tickets. While there, don't miss the nearby Mexican ice cream shop -- La Michoacana Ice Cream in downtown Kennett Square -- unusual flavors, and really good.
One other thing: Both states have toll roads, and all bridges are toll except I-95 itself. PA and NJ are on the same EZ Pass network that reaches at least to Illinois. If you have a transponder, bring it -- just be sure that if you have a rental car, to register its license plate to avoid fines.
Hope this helps. Have fun!
Thanks for sharing! Bummer it's no longer there. I guess I just get to enjoy hearing all the history about it. Much different times then!
This is great!
I wish there had been a follow-up question, about how overcoming the injury at nationals helped him overcome seemingly impossible odds to make the Olympics.
There is a dirt track by my, about an hour outside the city limits. 1/3 mile

I can easily hear it from my house every Saturday during race season.
This brings back the memories. I was young when the track closed, but Langhorne was part of my stomping grounds growing up. My parents were both Pennsbury teachers for 35+ years.
Its pretty built up and crowded now, but Jefe laid things out pretty well. Washington’s crossing park and Bowmans tower are a small place, but give you a little history feel for the area, and are on the way to New Hope, so keep it in mind.
There is one way you might get a decent hotel at the beach inexpensively (usually have to do it early, but maybe not this summer). Atlantic City has a boardwalk and nice beach and if you don’t mind walking through a bit of casino, you can usually get a room at the Tropicana or the Chelsea (no casino, but part of the Trop now I think) for under $100, sometimes really low depending on the day ($40 to $70), and step right out onto the boardwalk. We did that for years, and I know they figure to get your money in other ways, but never got a dime from me.
If you find something there, you can also use that as a base to go to other beaches like Ocean City, Sea Isle, etc, or shoot down to Cape May for a day which is really nice. Kids always loved the boardwalk at night.

Probably not this summer, but otherwise good advice. Though I'd first check that Atlantic City doesn't return to its bad old days, given the many issues with cities lately (especially homelessness and crime).This brings back the memories.

Really like Cape May. More laid back, pleasant, feels like a resort town instead of a cattle drive.
Ha, good point. At its best you still had to watch your back if you got off the boardwalk in AC. Good thing about the Trop is indoor parking garage.
It doesn’t seem to get old for ESPN either ...
