Growing up in the area, just about 1 city block from the Hbg City Line and the Susquehana Twp line in North Habg I loved watching the Thunderstorms come down river and put on a great light show over the city. The road that leads to the old Iron Bridge at Enola's west end was a great place to watch them from, up on the hillside. This is a great shot. Thanks for "sparking" a memory with the shot.  Ben

That particular cell did indeed intensify and drifted downriver to Harrisburg.....Not a drop fell at The Bridgeview, but we could see the landscape to the South disappear in a veil of heavy rain.

Keith's bookings have been picking back up as people get back out traveling again...When I departed on Friday, Keith mentioned that he was booked full from Thursday night through Monday.

Excellent coverage — like the human interest, too!
This place looks awesome — glad to see he’s doing some business despite such a downturn thanks to the pandemic. Don’t they advertise in Trains magazine, too? Wouldn’t mind staying there myself someday!

I am not sure if they advertise in Trains Mag, ...They do advertise in Railpace and on Facebook.
His bookings took an upswing over the past month as more people are venturing out again.
I noticed a difference between this stay and a previous one a few weeks ago in regard to his business phone ringing much more frequently on this visit from people calling to make reservations.
