Peeptown, PA


Almost ten years ago, one of my oldest friends got married and moved to Betheleham, PA. The town used to be the home of one of the largest steel mills in the country. Production declined over the past thirty years and now Betheleham Steel is out of business.

Now Betheleham is the home of the Just Born Co., maker of Mike & Ike candy and Peeps. My friend lives less than a mile away from the factory. I've wanted to visit so badly so that I could go on a tour and watch the Peeps being made.

Anyway, I came across this painting on Wiki and I like it a lot.
