Weekly Blogosphere Round-up

I think everyone knows what was being discussed on NOC this week, so now for a look around the rest of the Nazareth Blogosphere and welcome to a new entry on the sidebar - Clonehedge. This site is not about Nazareth, but written by a Nazareth resident so it makes the list. If you have a blog about the Nazareth area, or if you live in the Nazareth area and want to share your blog, let me know and I'll add it to the list!

Clonehedge, self-described on the site as, "a celebration of those first builders who erected Stonehenge as we understand it today, whose idea has turned out to be the ancestor of all icons, so powerful in image that five thousand years later people feel compelled to emulate their achievement, often in the most unlikely places and unsuitable media." This week the site discussed light-heartedly cake-henge (complete with picture), then engages a more serious discussion on Marden Henge. Content is interesting, but topic more probably for our friends across the pond.

Andy's Fan Page has been continuing to follow PCN budget and Legion Baseball, but on Friday lamented the loss of Northampton's Paulie Marcinkowski, who was a hallmark at the K-Kids events serving as their trainer for as long as I can remember. We all keep him and his family in our hearts and prayers.

Breakfast in the Valley headed out of state to bring in a review of Key City Diner in P'Burg (read it here).

From House to Cozy Home celebrated a birthday in the house and gave some great tips on fitting a standard screen door in a non-standard opening.

Lehigh Valley Ramblings as expected has a range of topics covered including the selection of Jerry Seyfried to County Council, Lehigh County voting down a proposal to videocast meetings (a great idea and I can't believe the costs they claim are necessary), there was a shot of a little league team and much, much, more. If you aren't yet a member of his fan club, sign on, apparently it is the cool thing to do for Valley residents this summer.

Steaming Cup of Joe celebrated the successful conclusion to his light-pollution campaign in Upper Nazareth (star gazers everywhere winced in pain;-) Some may recall that many months (years) ago, Joe began a campaign regarding a broken street light in Farmview Estates that the Township didn't fix, and apparently it now shines bright each evening.

Weird Nazareth attended and covered the Kazoo Parade in great detail providing not only commentary and photos - but video of the event.

Thank you for the Clonehenge link, Ross! I should mention that there are nearby sites mentioned on the blog, including one at East Stroudsburg, one in Tamaqua, and, well, Peephenge, parts of which had its origins in Bethlehem. Also, you can see on our list of permanent replicas that the greatest number of them are in the U.S. We encourage anyone to make an/or submit Stonehenge replicas to the blog! And wouldn't a big one look great in the Nazareth circle? ;-)
