Whitesbog is kind of personal to me, although it is not in my top 5 favorites Pine Barrens towns. It's personal due to the fact my father's family worked here when they arrived as immigrants from Italy. Although most lived in Philadelphia, when summer cam gagliarchives 10 photos |
Hanover holds such irony. Here is a furnace town that was around for a long time and hung with the best of them until the turn of the 20th Century. I am fortuante to have friends who knew and lived in the immediate location of the one time bustling hamlet gagliarchives 20 photos |
