Harrisburg

I'm visiting one of my oldest friends Heather in Harrisburg, PA this weekend. She moved here about two years back and I've been remiss in checking out her new city. This morning we went to The Broad Street Market for breakfast, one of the oldest continuous farmers markets in the country, then went across the street to Midtown Schloar a huge new/used bookstore.

In the afternoon we went for a walk along the Susquehanna river which kind of runs through the center/along the edge of Harrisburg.

Capitol Building.

It was 3rd In The Burg this evening, the monthly city wide art walk, so we walked around and popped into a couple coffee shops and art galleries. Pretty cool!
