Christine Vasiliades PUBLISHER & FOUNDER

PUBLISHER’S WELCOME

This is our 2023/2024 snapshot of South Central PA. I have enjoyed visiting and getting to know the businesses in this guide and I know you will, too!

Six and a half years ago, I started this business with one goal in mind—to help small businesses and non-profits grow. I was determined to develop an affordable way for them to advertise and create the reach that they deserve. Today, my goal is still the same.

With current challenges for small businesses, like rising costs and labor shortages, I see businesses struggle, and unfortunately some close their doors. I ask myself, “What can I do to help? How can the readers of this guide help?”

First, continue to eat, shop, live, work, and play in your local community. And when you do, please share your experiences with others. On page 10 of this guide, you will find a list of FREE ways to support local businesses. You will be surprised at just how simple and easy it can be.

Thank you for paging through one or more of our four hard cover or digital guides. Our readership continues to grow, and I am proud to say we have reached readers in over 290 states and countries and close to 2,000 cities. Now get out there and visit a brick-and-mortar business today. And, as always, enjoy your next Live.Work.Play. adventure!

In gratitude, Christine Vasiliades

Free Ways to Support Local Businesses

In the spirit of the Live.Work.Play. mission to support small businesses, we have compiled this list of quick, easy, and FREE ways that you can support local businesses.

Review them on Google

The best way to support any business, next to purchasing their services or product, is to give them a Google review. It takes less than a minute and helps them with online exposure. Reviews influence search engine results and a business will rank higher if they have more reviews. Reviews also build credibility and help attract new customers.

Share their posts on social media

Go one step further than hitting the “Like” button—consider sharing a post. On Facebook, there is typically a share button on the lower right bottom of the post. On Instagram, you can take a screen shot of the post. Use the arrow icon which allows you to share to stories or other platforms. You can also download a repost app from Google Play Store or Apple App Store which allows you to share a post.

Sign up for their newsletter

Show that you’re a fan, but also be the first to know about events, new products, or special promotions.

Refer a friend or family member

Refer a business by word-of-mouth. Your family members or friends will likely trust and remember them more if it is shared personally. You can even do a referral by including a business card in a gift to someone.

Pass these tips on to others!

What business did you come in contact with today? Did you have a good experience?

Whether it’s a dry cleaner, landscaper, shoe store, coffee shop, local artist, class instructor, take a moment to tell the world! Put a smile on a business owner’s face today!

Welcome to the National Civil War Museum

The sweeping drive through Reservoir Park gives an unparalleled view of the majestic building atop the highest point in Harrisburg ~ The National Civil War Museum. As you approach the entrance to the Museum, you will be struck anew at the Moment of Mercy statue by sculptor Terry Jones, framed by the walk of valor. Take a moment to reflect here on the mercy given to the fallen soldiers by one brave man, Confederate Sergeant Richard Kirkland, during the Battle of Fredricksburg, forever memorialized in bronze.

Once inside the Museum, let the grand rotunda’s splendor take you back to a time of sweeping staircases and grand dreams before you enter the Museum galleries and are forever changed by the history you will see. The National Civil War Museum will take you back in time to learn about the American Civil War, where over 620,000 Americans perished. The Museum seeks to tell the whole story of this most troubled chapter in American History while focusing on the issues, the people, and the lives that were affected and contains over 25,000 artifacts.

A self-guided tour takes you through 17 galleries illustrating the war and all its consequences, beginning with A House Divided, 1850-1860: a timeline of incidents and issues prior to the Civil War and concludes with Lincoln: War & Remembrance: a retrospective of the war; the martyred President; the role of veterans after the war. In addition to our static displays and artifacts, our award-winning We the People video program, the continuing story of ten characters, lasts about one hour and concludes in the museum’s theater, as the Nation’s joy turns to sorrow in a 16-minute film discussing the end of the war and the assassination of President Lincoln.

The vistas that are seen from the Museum grounds and our covered Observatory span four counties and the scenic Susquehanna River narrow. Also visible is the area of Harrisburg that contained Camp Curtin, the largest camp of rendezvous in the North during the war.

The capital of Pennsylvania and a major rail hub for men and materials, Harrisburg played a vital role in the Civil War and was threatened by the invasion of the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia.

Before you leave the Museum, stop by the gift shop for that special gift and browse our amazing stock of books, some autographed that you won’t find anywhere else.

VISIT Columbia

• Situated along the Susquehanna River, Columbia was founded in 1728, and was originally known as Wright’s Ferry.

• Columbia was almost the capital of the United States. When Congress voted in 1790, Columbia lost by only one vote to Washington, D.C.

• Later, Columbia missed out on being named the capital state, in favor of Harris Ferry, which later became Harrisburg.

• The market at 15 S. Third Street in Columbia was built in 1869. Beneath the building is a dark basement known as the Dungeon which includes seven cells. The cells still exist today in their original form!

National Watch & Clock Museum

Lyme Disease Awareness

We see many patients in our practice dealing with acute or chronic Lyme disease, and we want to help spread awareness about prevention of this rapidly-growing disease.

Lyme disease is a bacterial infection that’s typically transmitted to humans through the bite of an infected black-legged tick, also known as deer ticks. Early symptoms can include fever, headache, fatigue, and a characteristic “bullseye” rash, but not everyone experiences these symptoms. If left untreated, Lyme disease can lead to serious long-term complications, including joint pain, heart palpitations, and even nervous system and neurological issues.

Unfortunately, Lyme disease is often difficult to diagnose and treat. Some people may not even realize they’ve been bitten by a tick, while others may be misdiagnosed with other conditions. Additionally, the standard diagnostic tests for Lyme disease are not always reliable, and some people may experience symptoms even after receiving treatment.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

• You can be bitten by a Lyme-infected tick in any season.

• The ELISA and Western Blot blood tests can be insufficient to diagnose Lyme. There are several other tests and methods to evaluate for Lyme.

• Many people do not get the “bullseye” rash from a tick bite.

• There is not a minimum transmission time of Lyme disease from an infected attached tick.

• Lyme disease can be acute or chronic, and symptoms can flare months to years after a bite from an infected tick.

• 95% of Lyme disease occurs in the upper midwestern, northeastern, and mid-Atlantic states.

• Lyme disease can mimic other diseases such as Fibromyalgia, MS, depression, or Alzheimer’s.

• You don’t need to be near deer/livestock or the woods to be bitten by an infected tick. Infected ticks can enter homes via pets or clothing, and have been found in urban areas as well.

• Early detectable symptoms of Lyme disease typically develop within 3-30 days from being bitten.

• Infected ticks can carry co-infections to Lyme disease, such as Babesia and Bartonella. These can be detected with proper extensive testing. It’s common for someone with Lyme disease to also have a co-infection, and treatment should be adjusted accordingly.

To prevent Lyme disease, it’s important to take steps to protect yourself from tick bites.

HISTORIC VILLAGE OF Catoctin Furnace

Explore the iron furnace’s ruins and tour the Collier’s Log House (ca. 1810). The furnace was in blast by 1776, and bombshells from Catoctin helped secure victory at Yorktown.

Highly skilled workers, both enslaved African Americans and European immigrants, toiled to make all manner of iron products, including stoves, firebacks and kettles. Surrounding the furnace, the company town boasted iron ore pits, more than sixty-five houses, slave quarters, an Episcopal church, a school, and a company store. The furnace supported this vibrant community until 1903, when rising costs and new technology forced operations to cease. Today, the village of Catoctin Furnace serves as an enduring example of American culture before, during, and after the Revolutionary War and portrays the importance of industry in America.

It’s an unlikely blend of histories, and one you’ll find only in Tarpon Springs, Pinellas County’s oldest city.

Past Indian history in this beautiful coastal community predates the arrival of the first settlers in the early 1800’s. Soon after, the advent of the railroad and the building of the Anclote Key Lighthouse brought many positive changes to the area. The town’s Victorian influences stem from the late 1800’s to about 1905, when the seaside village became a playground for wealthy Northerners. These seasonal residents built luxurious estates along Spring Bayou. Soon Tarpon Springs gained fame as one of the great health centers and winter resorts of the time.

Two Cultures, One City... Tarpon Springs

Rich sponge beds, discovered in the 1880’s, spawned a flourishing new industry. In 1905, young sponge divers were recruited from the Dodecanese Islands of Greece. The sponge industry thrived, as did the Greek community, and the town’s focus changed. Some of the Greek immigrants who came to the area continue their traditional trade of sponge diving. Today Tarpon Springs is a showcase of both cultures, from its vintage Victorian era mansions and buildings to its lively Greek traditions and community.

Experience the flavor of Greece and the excitement of an authentic working waterfront on the Sponge Docks. Visit authentic Greek restaurants and bakeries, sponge diving and sightseeing tour boats, unique shops, antique shops and art galleries, and the St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Cathedral, home of the largest Epiphany celebration in the Western Hemispheres – No Passport Required!
