    Default Amelia's Grocery Market/ Arnolds Family Fun Center/ Pennhurst Asylum

    Has anybody else stumbled upon an Amelia's? We've been going for about three years
    and you can really do well with your staples like cereals and snacks, as well as frozen
    meats and cheese(American $2.99 lb). Bags of pretzels $.99. We've never had a
    problem with freshness. It's like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're
    gonna get. Bring a cooler.
    We found the one in Coatesville going to the VA Med Center. The one in Royersford
    is 5 min off the 422 exit, not far from the Pennhurst Asylum and Spring City VA Clinic.
    They have a website.
    Before the Royersford exit check out Arnolds Gokart and Family Fun Center. The gokart
    track is indoors and there's a huge collection of period amusement park fixtures and
    old pinball machines you can play(new ones too). Like a museum. If you don't eat there recommend the nearby Wegman's.

    Default The Vertigo Burger? Movie Tavern?

    Say WHAT?

    It's great to see somebody is thinking outside the box in this challenging time.
    I saw that an Elevation Burger and a Movie Tavern just opened at the new Providence
    Town Center.
    On EB's website the menu lists the Vertigo burger, where you can choose between
    3 to 10 patties. Fresh cut fries, beef ground on premises, veggie burgers. Can't wait
    to get up there.
    Movie Tavern appears to be out of NY, and has a liquor license. I couldn't pull up their
    menu, but who needs more food after you ate a ten pattie Veggie burger. Just give me
    a large Glenlivit & 7-UP.

    Don't forget Arnold's at the previous Oaks exit, and you need a valid drivers license
    for the adult go-carts. Good website. Be careful of the State Troopers on 422.

    Finally tried an Elevation burger the same day we visited the raptors. Went with a cheeseburger with carmelized onions and
    tomatoe, and it was really good at $4-. I should have gotten everything on it as toppings aren't extra. The fries might have
    been cooked a little longer, but tasted great. We couldn't find the Movie Tavern but it's a large center.
