They threw bricks, stones, car parts, a washing machine and even a bucket of shit. We ended up making a few arrests but luckily didn't have to shoot anyone. Fun times!

Greyhound already has fast bus service to Eastern Pennsylvania. The Casinos will most certainly bridge the gap or sponsor a route directly from the Port Authority. I would bet my life that the business plan for the casino already includes these provisions. Jeff,

Until Port Authority can dole out a payback plan to Bethlehem like they do to Atlantic City, getting to and from AC via Lucky Streak will still be the best(and practically free) dal in town. Zipcar will cost you $70 for an overnight trip, and while it is closer as the bird flies, it's another world away in terms of public transit.

A similar law is being floated in CA. I'll discuss that in other posts. Riggs, this isn't meant to be taken too seriously. I'm sure we left a bunch out. I'd be happy to host a guest post by you if you'd like to do Travel Guide Part 2, though. Meister, there is actually a move to legalize intra-state online poker in NJ.

In terms of places of notability.... You forgot the Crayola factory, Jim Thorpe, PA, Centralia (the city that is burning undeground for some many years now), Jandl farms (provider of the Turkey for the whitehouse for some 30 years now) Bethlehem and the surrounding area has plenty to offer. As far as online poker and the effect that live gaming being legalized will have on it... I'll have that wrapped up in post three over in Riggsville. Um… In terms of places of notability….

I can't imagine that the local legalization has positive implications for the online rooms, particularly with Mastercard / Visa dropping their customer's ability to use their cards at the major rooms... On a side note, I'm going to be approx. 1 hour away from the new Charles Town, WV poker room expected to open in the summer 2010. So psyched to get to play live once-twice a month on my own terms without need for a hotel!
