This was a fun one. I spent about 8 years of my life living just outside Philadelphia. There was a period of time where, on the off chance I’d have some time off on a weekend, my friends and I would take a little drive north into Bucks County. There are some beautiful, and funky, spots that were perfect for a little day away.
My personal favorite spot was New Hope. Now, it’s been about 20 years since the last time I was there, but it’s such a funky place. Lots of art, cafes and a relaxed atmosphere. And there was this super cool flea market nearby where we used to find all kinds of great stuff.
Like I said, it’s been a hot minute since I’ve been to Bucks County. I discovered during this conversation that it’s still very much the same as I remember, but they’ve made some upgrades. And there’s a new spotlight on the area.
This week I got to speak with Paul Vencivengo, the president and CEO of Visit Bucks County. By the end of this conversation I was ready to pack up the car and make the drive north right up to Bucks County. I’m pretty sure you’ll find my family up there this summer.
