  • The Official Spotoguide to Area High Schools and Fall Sports Schedules

    One of the important functions of a site like Spotobe is to support local educators, students and the community at large. While we can't post every sporting, theatrical, fund-raising and miscellaneous other event at every area school, we thought it appropriate to continue our Official Spotoguide series with a handy dandy, one-stop spot for finding area high school websites, as well as Fall Varsity Sports Schedules. There's just nothing else like a good old-fashioned football rivalry under the Friday night lights.

    Justin and I encourage you to comment on this post or contact us in the event that any links change or schools are missing (perish the thought!). It'd be great if you would also let us know about big events at your school that might warrant greater exposure on Spotobe. We are your humble servants...well, that may be a bit of an exaggeration, but we are indebted to your participation and consumption of Spotobe...and of course, your willingness to tell others about all of our hard work!   Full Article »

  • This Weekend: Dori’s Guide for “Staycationers”

    The first time I heard the term "staycation" in place of vacation, I grimaced and prayed that Merriam-Webster would not be declaring it an official English word anytime soon. However, it seems to be sticking, with astronomical gas prices and the sad lack of truly fuel-efficient vehicles. So let's go with it. If you are postponing faraway travels to stay close to home, good for you.

    I decided to give Justin a little break from his normal weekend post, so here are some ideas—listed in random assorted genres—to help you find something that whets your whistle without draining your gas tank.   Full Article »

  • Central PA Outdoor Swimming Guide for Daytrippers

    I don't know about you, but when it's hot and humid outside, I'm looking for water. Specifically, iced, cold drinking water by a nice, big swimming pool. Last year, we joined one of the community clubs, but with both my husband and me working, we hardly ever went. We decided not to fork over the cash for it this year. But, you see, my son is a fish out of water. He is never so happy as he is when he's wet (not the diaper-variety wet, but virtually any other kind of wet—hoses, sprinklers, baths, showers, pools, you name it).

    So, last week, feeling like a bad mom for choosing to save $250 over his supreme happiness, I started conniving—whom I could impose upon who has a pool? My aunt and uncle—maybe. My friend three hours away in New Jersey—nah. The neighbor up the street who's friends with our friends—too desperate. Then it occurred to me that maybe some pools offer daily admission to non-members. I was on a mission. Lucky for you, I am generously sharing my findings below, and Justin has been kind enough to add all of these places as Spotobe locations.

    We ended up checking out the pool at Little Buffalo last weekend and found it to be quite lovely with attentive lifeguards and very reasonable prices at the snack bar. This weekend...haven't decided yet. Have fun exploring your options! (Just in case you're wondering, I snapped this photo, so you won't find me in it, just the husband and my fish.)   Full Article »
