Why would one drive to Pottsville?  To join the Molly Maguires? To research John O’Hara?

To dine at the Pottsville  Club? (You’re too late, it’s closed.)

Or maybe to get some brew at Yuengling’s  Brewery (America’s oldest)?

The  last two photos were not taken on my most recent visit to Pottsville. The above photo makes me think that a fall version of Yuengling’s resting at the base of Sharp Mountain would work well.

The  Schuylkill County Courthouse (built in 1892) is in the distance and towers over downtown Pottsville. Few people need to ask for directions.

Yuengling Brewery, Mahantongo Street, Pottsville, PA. President Obama has said that Yuengling is his favorite beer. I’m sure that somehow Fox News will have a problem with that endorsement.
