Unless they mean that sarcastically... hmm... darn you, Salon! Now I'm confused. Whatever. I like Yuengling.
Just dont visit their brewery if your car doesnt have a good set of working breaks. Pottsville has some pretty steep hills if I can remember correctly (I was much younger). A pretty neat town, my brother referred to it as the 'town that time forgot'.

Anyone ever hear of Centralia, PA? I went on a coal mine tour once in Ashland. PA and they explained to us how it is burning underground and will do so for the foreseeable future. Pretty interesting stuff, as it was once a 'prospering' town.
