The Not-So-Straight and Narrow: Towns You Might Tumble Through
While a quick Google search might tell you there are only a couple of blink-and-you-miss-it towns between these two cities, the truth is a bit more...well, interesting. Here's a peek at the hidden gems (or not-so-hidden potholes) you might encounter on your detour:
Tip: Reading on mobile? Zoom in for better comfort.
- Waynesboro, PA: Home to the world's largest chicken barbecue (no, really) and a whole lot of friendly faces. Just be sure to steer clear of Aunt Mildred on bingo night, she gets a little competitive.
- Greencastle, PA: Civil War buffs, rejoice! This town is steeped in history. Though, if you're looking for excitement, well, let's just say the biggest thrill might be watching paint dry.
- Chambersburg, PA: Okay, this one is a real town with a charming downtown area and a surprising amount of good eats. They even have a museum dedicated to sliced bread (because, apparently, that's a thing).
- Shippensburg, PA: College town alert! Home to Shippensburg University, this town offers a youthful vibe and a great place to grab a coffee and people-watch (because, let's face it, you've got some time to kill).
- Carlisle, PA: History buffs, round two! This town was once the state capital and boasts some impressive architecture. Plus, it's the home of the Army War College, so you might just brush shoulders with some future military masterminds.
- Mechanicsburg, PA: This one's a bit of a sleeper town, but don't let that fool you. They have a fantastic farmers market and a surprising number of craft breweries. Perfect for refueling after your little navigational mishap.
