Trivia Question❓

Doylestown, PA sits in Bucks County, which lies within the broader Delaware River watershed — and each autumn, a specific species of tree dominates the fiery red foliage displays across this region's forests and is also the official state tree of Pennsylvania, but what is the scientific genus name of this tree, commonly known as the Eastern Hemlock, that ironically stays evergreen while its deciduous neighbors put on the fall color show around it?

$20 for a walking tour seems a little steep but if it goes to support the historical society I guess I can get behind it

Not usually a horror person but no gore is a selling point for me. Maybe I can actually make it through this one.

Tip of The Day

Doylestown Insider: The County Courthouse Parking Secret

If you're heading into Doylestown and dreading the parking hunt, here's something most locals overlook: the Bucks County Courthouse complex on Court Street has a public parking lot that is significantly less picked-over than the Main Street spots, even on busy weekend afternoons. Most residents assume it's restricted to county employees or courthouse visitors, so they drive right past it and circle the downtown blocks instead. It's a short, easy walk to Pine and State Streets, putting you right in the heart of the restaurants and shops without the frustration.

Pair that with the fact that parking meters throughout downtown Doylestown are free after 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday and completely free all day Sunday, and you've got a stress-free window to enjoy dinner or an evening out without feeding a single quarter into a meter. Plan your arrival for just after five on a weekday and you'll slide right in.
