Harrisburg's site is thought to have been inhabited by Native Americans as early as 3000 BC.

In 1719, In 1785, John Harris, Jr. made plans to lay out a town on his father's land, which he named Harrisburg.

Thanks for your great coverage of the rally! You must have had the best view!
Pardon me for jumping to a differnt subject but I’ve found Bill Still’s YouTube reporting to be very worthwhile and wanted to pass this along:

The plot regarding Cruz’s birth status continues to thicken! Now if this informatoni can only be verified...
oh wait....
thank you dear bestower of alter egos! :-)
On Hannity last night, he said he was going to post names of the PA delegates, and who they support on his website.
I tweeted Trump to hand out lists at polls and rallies. Not sure he sees every tweet though.
Here’s a list on FR
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3422972/posts
“only the NAMES of the delegates are going to be on our ballots but not the names of the candidates they represent”
You are right. That is the stupidest thing I have seen yet. The Republican party should hold their heads in shame. GO TRUMP GO
But Cruz has people getting his lists out everywhere. Another thing Trump didn’t know until too late.
“But Cruz has people getting his lists out everywhere. Another thing Trump didn’t know until too late.”
Trump has been listing his position papers all along. I think the 2nd amendment may have been the first. Ted has been lying all along about Trump. Ted is a liar and thief who is trying to steal delegates against the wishes of the voters.
Lovin’ the cuz moniker.
Thanks for the words of encouragement.
The family unit is under fire.
Skoolz today... the front lines.
One department I worked at had a female employee who was paralysed due to polio. Could move one arm and grasp with the other hand, but not move arm. She was in a wheelchair. Our bathrooms had handicap stalls but no separate room.
Every day her husband would come at lunch and take her to the restroom. They’d go to the women’s room, he’d knock, and if no one was there he’d take her in and take care of business. He had a sign he’d put on the restroom door that said ‘Man in restroom’.
We never had an issue. Maybe we all just had common sense back then.
That’s a great idea. BTW, have you come down from your cloud, Poodle?
Yeah. He’s probably having his people hand out a list to his supporters with his delegate names at the voting booths. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if he also had them hand out the same list to Trump supporters, giving them the wrong names to vote for.
You know, like Iowa... these kind of honest mistakes happen, and it’s only us “Trumpsters” that complain about it.
It's a parent's job to correct and reteach the right stuff at home! It's something that sadly, few parents do anymore.
OTOH, even with good schools, one still has to teach stuff at home, because so much gets left out anyway. :-(
Have you ever heard of reaching a tipping point? For you- perhaps the bathroom issue is an insignificant breech in the bulwark of civilization. For others- it’s the rubicon that has been crossed.
Why does every household have a bathroom with lockable doors? It COULDN’T be for privacy issues, could it?
It’s still pouring here LOL
What a day!
That SEEMS to be in question !
