At the height of the travel season — and in honor of the state-traversing U.S. Route 6, Pennsylvania’s coolest two-lane — Webb presents a half-dozen road movies. We’ll stick to “under-the-radar” films in this category — trusting that most readers already know about such classics as “Rain Man,” “Planes, Trains and Automobiles,” the Oscar-magnet “It
Did you envy Diane Keaton’s outfits in “Something’s Gotta Give” or Merely Streep’s in “It’s Complicated?” Are you a fan of Nancy Meyers movies with their perennial summertime lifestyle full of beautiful older women in linen tunics and arranging fresh flowers?

That’s the word from Lycoming County Fair Association President Rocky Reed. “We are really looking forward to this
Our area has finally joined many of the municipalities in the United States by experiencing an act of rage. It probably had to happen sooner or later. Around 1:00 p.m. on Sunday, July 3rd, a woman took out her rage against Little League International by driving her minivan through the front door of the World
When we hear the phrase “getting in over your head,” we usually think someone has gone too far, and now they must suffer the consequences, but sometimes it pays to get in over your head when it comes to fishing lakes. In other words, it’s time to start targeting the deeper water rather than the
I could hear the birds singing and chirping before the sun even woke up — what a perfect way to awake and start the day. I love the long hours of July sunlight. What a special time of the year. It goes without saying no matter where you look or listen; the daily topics are
Have you been in woods lately? Have you heard what almost sounds like rain hitting the leaves above your head? I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but that’s not a passing summer shower. What you are hearing are Spongy moths, and their munching is doing a number on our local forests and
It is a promotional spot that has appeared over and over on the MLB TV network.

It was the year of the Agnes Flood, the Watergate break-in, the Oakland A’s were king of baseball, and the Miami Dolphins had an undefeated NFL season; it was also the year that Tony’s Delicatessen and Fresh Meats opened for business. The business was started by Tony DiParlo, who had been
If I asked you who, at the end of the 1959 basketball season, was Pennsylvania’s 2nd leading high school scorer behind the legendary Wilt Chamberlain, who would you guess? Chamberlain was 7’1, weighed 275 lbs., and played for Overbrook H.S. in Philadelphia for three years. If you guessed Williamsport’s own, Joey Prato — while many
My two sons and I had declared the first day of our Father’s Day Weekend fishing extravaganza a huge success! Yes, we did not land nor even hook a fish throughout the entire day, and it would take a dedicated fisherman to understand how someone could call a day without catching a fish a “success.”
