Clipping this because it's a reference to a local interfaith anti-hunger initiative (i.e., a gleaning project and food drive, I think), in which my state senator, Andy Dinniman, took a prominent part (and gets praised for it here by the head of the Valley Forge Christian College).

Provide information about your pedestrian-route "priorities" (e.g., low violent crime rates, bus stops, coffee shopts, etc.) and it will generate a "walkshed" map for you. I think this means color-coding the map to indicate "walkability" (where would be a good area for you to walk). Covers the city of Philadelphia, not the suburbs.

This is the webpage for the Garden State Cultural Assocation. Right now (Sept. 2009), the site is mostly devoted to news about the upcoming Plainfield, NJ celebration of Durga Puja, which will happen on the weekend of Sept. 26-27, 2009. This is one of eight or nine major Durga Puja celebrations in the U.S. I'd kind of like to see this someday. It's probably all in Bangla though.

This is the most thorough explanation I've come across yet for the name of King of Prussia, PA. Berry's Tavern was located here during the Revolutionary War, and during the war, Berry, the tavernkeeper, hung a German-language sign in honor of King Frederick outside his establishment in order to attract the custom of von Steuben's well-heeled soldiery. It's not clear to me from this account how much is actually documented and how much is conjecture, but it's interesting anyhow. Linked from the Wikipedia article on King of Prussia.
