*nostalgia* My formative years were spent in Mechanicsburg! But I havent been back since the mid 80s.
One Hershey memory is being a girlscout on a field trip to the chocolate factory. This was back in the day of actually getting down on the factory floor(mid 70s). I remember going into the mixing room. We walked in and it was hot and giant swimming pools of chocolate mechanically mixed with bars. The knock out was the overwhelming smell. Not yummy chocolate smell, but uber, steamy, sick sweet wall-o-chocolate edge-o- wretch smell. Then we saw women picking out badly wrapped kisses from a conveyor belt. They gave us samples and we still ate them even though you could kinda get a sense memory smell of that nauseating mixing room.

I spent many biking hours and learned to drive on Lisburn road, which was a winding country road that I imagine is totally developed and crammed with traffic. Anybody know of Ashcombe's Dairy Farm? Yellow Breeches Creek? *sigh*
