My Home Town - Ephrata, Pennsylvania: Juxtaposition Of Old And New In Lancaster County, Pennsylvania
See if you can guess where I live. I'll give you a hint, there two hempstones in the yard and a couple of Ron Paul signs haha...
I've lived in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania my whole life for all but three years when I was in the Marines and yet I'm still amazed that the culture of the Old Order Amish and Mennonites still exist. I see horse and buggies on a near daily basis and it STILL blows my mind!
We have a strong streak of independence around here, a healthy mistrust of government and good deal of tolerance for different ways of living. Right here in the midst of our modern world we allow the Amish to live like it was back in 1810. It's probably the foundation for my Libertarian streak and why I'm such a strong Ron Paul supporter.
By the way, those stone in my yard are unique. The are hempstones, or hemp millstones. They were used in the old Lancaster County hemp industry to soften up hemp fiber that was then to be used in the manufacture of homespun linen for clothing and all sorts of other fabrics. The story of the olden days of hemp makes for a fascinating tale. Click here for info on the book...

Ephrata Cloisters
Amazing place that is the only one like it in the world...full of MYSTERY
Quakertown Pyramid - Pennsylvania
This is the mysterious pyramid in Quakertown, Pennsylvania which was built around 200 years ago by a secret society called Rosicrucian . The pyramid is about 50 feet wide on all 4 sides, and about 30 feet tall. At the first glance it looks like memorial garden with a small fountain that is also in pyramid shape. However inside the pyramid you can see Rosicrucian symbols. This site can be seen from the road but it is on private property hence trespassing is prohibited. Follow Me on:

[DRONE FOOTAGE] Flooding in Ephrata, Pennsylvania - August 4, 2018
I was camping near the Cocalico Creek in Ephrata, PA, when I was awakened by a person bellowing for help. A white Lincoln had been flooded out trying to make it over the flooded road. The driver was ok, but pretty upset about his car. Some relatives and I towed the car out and got it running again so the driver could get to work.
Then, after shooting this footage, I got a call that a Mustang had circumvented the road closed signs and the driver had drowned out the engine leaving the 4 passengers stranded near the bridge. We hooked up a tow line to an F-150 and pulled it out. Unfortunately, we were unable to get the Mustang running.
Aerial drone images of the August 4, 2018, flooding of the Cocalico Creek, in Ephrata, Pennsylvania. The flooding was the worst I've seen since Tropical Storm Lee in September of 2011.
Garden Spot Road can be seen flooded near the Green Dragon Farmer's Market. Wabash road was severely flooded.

Pennsylvania
The Keystone state -- key to America's independence. Check out the history and culture of Pennsylvania, where many German-speaking immigrants settled, with Christopher Hoh. #50states #PA
Transcript:
Hello, my name is Christopher Hoh. I work in the U.S. Embassy in Vienna, and I was born and brought up in the the Keystone State.
Pennsylvania was one of the original 13 colonies. It was called the Keystone State in the 18th century because of its central location and role in U.S. history. The first capital of the United States was in Philadelphia.
Before it was colonized, the area was home to Native American tribes, including the Lenape and the Susquehannok.
The name Pennsylvania means, Penn's Woods. In 1681, England's King Charles II gave the land to William Penn as payment for a debt of 16,000 pounds. This was one of the largest land grants to an individual in history.
William Penn was a member of the Religious Society of Friends, also known as Quakers, who were persecuted in England. So Penn established the colony for any people persecuted for their faith.
Many religious exiles from Europe settled in Pennsylvania, including the Amish, an Anabaptist sect. Today, the Amish live much as they did in the 17th century, without modern conveniences such as electricity and cars.
In the 18th and 19th centuries Germans migrated to Pennsylvania in large numbers. English‐speakers mispronounced the German word, Deutsch, as Dutch, and these immigrants became known as the Pennsylvania Dutch.
In many Pennsylvania communities, German was spoken as the language of everyday life into the early 1900's. You can still hear German dialects in the farmers' markets of Lancaster and Reading, my home town.
The language is similar to Germany's Palatinate dialect. For example, the man's dog -- der Hund des Mannes -- is this in PA Dutch -- em Mann sei Hund.
Today, 12.7 million people live in Pennsylvania, the sixth most populous state in the U.S. It covers over 46,000 square miles (more than 119,000 km2 ).
Pennsylvania has several large cities. Philadelphia was known in the 1700's as the Athens of America because of its rich cultural life.
Part of that is attributed to Pennsylvania's most famous citizen, Benjamin Franklin -- author, inventor, philosopher, businessman, diplomat and revolutionary leader.
Philadelphia is also home to the Liberty Bell, the icon of American freedom. It remains on view, cracked, on Independence Mall, where the Continental Congress met and in 1776 declared independence from Britain.
Here are some other firsts from Pennsylvania:
The first medical school, hospital, library and insurance company were established in there.
The first commercially drilled oil well near Titusville produced the first U.S. oil boom in 1859.
The first U.S. Envoy to Austria in 1838 was Henry A.P. Muhlenberg, from Lancaster.
And the Philadelphia Zoo is the oldest zoo in America.
My hometown, Reading, is located in southeastern Pennsylvania. Formerly a textile and manufacturing center, Reading became known as The Factory Outlet Capital of the World.
The surrounding area has been called the Snack Food Capital of the World, leading all other states in the production of pretzels, chips and candy.
The state has some other interesting food facts.
The Yuengling Brewery, in Pottsville, is the oldest operating brewery in America, established in 1829.
A little further west is Hershey, the birthplace of Hershey chocolate bars. The town smells of chocolate and the street lights are shaped like Hershey kisses.
And don't forget Philly cheese steaks.
Pennsylvania gave birth to one US President -- James Buchanan in the 1800s.
Vice President Joe Biden was born in Scranton.
Many actors also come from Pennsylvania including Kevin Bacon, Bill Cosby, Tina Fey and Sharon Stone, to name a few.
Pennsylvania has always had a creative music scene. Each religious sect that settled in Pennsylvania brought with it a unique style of music. The Moravians, in Bethlehem, introduced organs and trombones into their worship. The Mennonites and Lutherans sang heartily, from German hymnbooks. And the Ephrata Cloister was known for beautiful harmony.
Popular singers today include Taylor Swift, from Wyomissing, and Christina Aguilera and George Benson, from Pittsburgh.
Philadelphia is also the birthplace of the famous TV program, American Bandstand, which introduced singers and bands to teenagers for more than 20 years.
I travel the world but I still have a strong connection to my home state: I'm a career diplomat -- like Benjamin Franklin, our country's first envoy. I'm also a composer who benefited from my home state's musical milieu.
I'm proud to come from Pennsylvania, the land of the Liberty Bell, which helped inspire the cause of freedom for all humanity.
