Well, what do you know -- I live about ten miles away from where Greg B. lives!

However, I feel I must clarify some of Greg's description: Doylestown is only 26 miles north of center-city Philadelphia "as the crow flies" (but 40 or so miles as MapQuest's circuitous route makes the crow drive). Also, Bucks County does indeed border on the Delaware River, but Doylestown itself is not on the riverside.

More importantly for historical accuracy's sake, I must point out that George Washington did not cross the Delaware River at its "southern terminus" (nor even at the southern terminus of Bucks County); he crossed 15 or so miles due east of Doylestown, at a location now known on both sides of the river (PA and NJ) as Washington Crossing, upstream from the Hessians in Trenton by about 10 miles (and over 100 miles upstream from where the river ends at Delaware Bay!); I have driven over the bridge at Washington Crossing many times so I know the place! Moreover, Washington did not make the crossing on "that famous Christmas Eve"; the crossing began during the late hours of Christmas Day, 1776, and was not completed until about 3:00 a.m. on December 26th, whereupon Washington and his troops marched downriver to fight and win the Battle of Trenton (which only took about an hour -- they were re-crossing the Delaware back into Pennsylvania by noon!).

Greg is quite correct, though, in describing the area as very scenic with many a horse farm, and in describing Doylestown's revival. They've preserved many of its older buildings and created a nice night-life of activity there. Hey, Greg, have we seen each other at the open mike at Puck's?
