Messiah College has a covered bridge on campus
Over the last couple of years I have been a regular target of Darryl Hart, professor of history at Hillsdale College in Michigan. Read all his posts about my work here.
So needless to say, I was surprised to see that Hart, a Front Porcher, actually liked my recent piece on small towns. Read his take here.
Some quick thoughts on Hart’s take on my piece:
- Hart includes a picture of Pabst Blue Ribbon beer with his post. My Italian immigrant grandfather (died a few years ago at the 103) was a Teamster who drove a delivery truck for PBR. I once won him a PBR glass on a wheel of chance on the Seaside Heights boardwalk.
- I had no idea Hart was a student at Messiah College back in the day.
- I am from the East Coast, but I am not, nor have I ever been, one of the “coastal elites.” (See the grandfather and Seaside Heights reference above).
