Mechanicsburg Street Fair sometime in 2006 (I believe)
Two fun facts about Mechanicsburg!
- On New Year’s Eve, the main street fills with the drunken citizens of the town as they countdown to midnight. 10…9…hey! Is that a wrench they’re dropping? Yes, indeed, it is. It’s the second best New Year’s Eve item drop in the area, falling in awesomeness to Dillsburg’s ball of choice: a pickle.
- Summer is the time when one associates areas with distinctive smells: the beach has one that escapes me right this second; New York smells like trash. Mechanicsburg tops the disgusting factor of the Big Rotted Apple with its distinct brand of gross. Walk the streets to grab a late afternoon pizza and if you’re lucky you’ll catch a whiff of dog food. Yep, Purina has a factory in the outskirts of town.
