Taking my dog for a walk yesterday morning was the first time I’ve used the word “brisk” this year. I needed the brisk walk to ease my anxiety about my teen having her first date the night before.
Though I feel better because he was a very nice young man. And he is From Bucks…
Yes, my jokes are bad. But our history is good…
The village that almost disappeared
You can drive through Fallsington today and feel like you accidentally took a wrong turn into 1750. Which is kind of the point.
The village was settled by Quakers in the late 1600s and became a major crossroads and stagecoach stop. William Penn was even counted among the people attending meetings there.
But by the 1950s, all those historic buildings were suddenly standing in the way of suburban development.
Much like our data center fighters today, locals weren’t having it. They banded together to save the historic Burges-Lippincott House, eventually forming Historic Fallsington, Inc. in 1953. That preservation effort helped make them Bucks’ very first historic district.
That little pocket of history was (and is) loved.
Carbs how God intended
Fall breakfast has brought pumpkin spice soaked carbs with it. Well Bean in Penndel is slathering on the autumn comfort.
And, fun fact, they’re doing my second favorite thing ever: pairing it with full fall coffee flights. So yes, you can turn a quick breakfast run into a whole situation. Plan your morning nap accordingly.
Someone read my mind
Apple pie had an identity crisis and emerged as a cake. And frankly, I support this personal growth.
The Lucky Cupcake in Peddler’s Village doesn’t play, so we’re talking cinnamon apple cake with actual apple pie baked directly inside. And then, because they love me, it’s capped off with a buttery crumb topping and a vanilla glaze drizzle.
It’s warm, sweet, and aggressive enough on the fall vibes to make a pumpkin patch blush.
Please know if you get a fall treat, I need to know. I’m on a search for all the fall things through the end of November and I could use your help pointing me in the best direction!
Enjoy your Sunday and I’ll see you Tuesday for “what the heck is Neshaminy Mall going to be next?”
May none of your carbs count,
