A trip up memory lane as I traveled Rt 61 to the Blue Mountains for those old enough or around long enough to remember all the great spas along the way. Unfortunately, after the big shutdowns a decade ago, nothing has returned to Reading, Temple, Leesport, Shoemakersville, Schuylkill Haven or Pottsville. Hazleton and Wilkes-Barre still have some options. Those who remember Sun Spa, there is good news and bad news. It is still a spa ------ but a doggy spa. Further along, the old farmhouse on the left before you get to Leesport Diner has been torn down. Corn grows there now. Peace of Mind in Shoemakersville was a place you could get a lot of kinks out. You still can, but the space is now occupied by a chiropractor. And so on and so on for all the others. There were so many options back then, and so much on the menus. Mostly K-girl spas, and a few caucasian. Now, apart from the obligatory stop at Cabella's, not much to look forward to other than to take in the beautiful countryside and mountains. Makes me appreciate living close to Philly and Wilmington.
