Americans tend to be obsessed with royalty. Two hundred and thirty five years ago we were fighting to get away from the monarchy -- but now we seem to be collectively drooling over the upcoming royal wedding. And we love to dub businesses with royal titles, too. And look how some succeed! You have the royal couple, Burger King and Dairy Queen. With their children Princess Cruise Lines and Prince Tennis. But if you're from the Montgomery County, Pennsylvania area, you might just want to dethrone Dairy Queen and replace her with a local favorite:
But given the current state of the economy, many local townships and boroughs in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania no longer offer the annual awe inspiring display of pyrotechnics. Not to fear! Regardless of where you live in the county, you're bound to be close to one of the dozen fireworks spectaculars taking place throughout the county over this holiday weekend.

Central Montgomery County, Pennsylvania is home to the historic borough of North Wales (pop. 3,342). Located conveniently on SEPTA's R5 Regional Rail line, North Wales is also an easy drive from all points, being close to PA Rtes. 309 and 202.

Well, we're four days shy of spring -- but the weather was so glorious today I just had to get outside. And when I do that, I need to have my camera handy, because we often forget how much natural beauty there is around us. I live in suburban Philadelphia -- central Montgomery County. One of the things that makes this area so wonderful is its proximity to Philadelphia. But also how it retains, in many places, its rural charm.
