“I did move out of PA - is there some reason you asked? “

I use a different handle on other boards. I’m the one who told you about the Quakertown Farmer’s Market. They are still in business and one meat vendor has the best cheesesteak ribeye available. Not a real high class joint like I mentioned.

One thing I would never consider was buying ground beef from a market that’s only open about five days a week. Mom and Dad were standing in line for their ribeye and FIVE TRAYS of ground beef were sold while they waited. Check the supermarket for the $1/$2 off tags so they can move the stuff that’s near garbage.

I grew up in Bucks Co, played football against a lot of these guys, and cautioned you not to wear “clean clothes” to visit the Q-Mart. The place is for soiled bluejeans and working people only. I tried to get a fellow worker to move from South Philly to Q-town (only place he could afford) and he said it was still too expensive. He didn’t know decades ago how bad Philly would get. Q-town isn’t much better, the crime centers in Bucks are Bristol on the south side and the Q-town area on the north side.

You made me smile remembering the Qtown market! lol Yes you were completely right - I think that market is the last place in America where smoking indoors is allowed - in fact, it might be required!

I remember wondering if the place might fall over if a big wind hit the area!! There was a great coffee shop inside that sold great beans - I would hold my breath and run inside the smoke filled building -

Thanks for reminding me of the place.... we left almost 5 years ago but I do miss certain things in the area...like cheesesteaks and WaWa coffee.
