A Boomster Afternoon in Easton, PA

Part of our Weekend Trip to the Lehigh Valley

May 17, 2022

I was hoping when we visited Easton during our Lehigh Valley, PA trip that we’d run into “The Easton Assassin”, the former boxing heavyweight champion of the world, Larry Holmes, who I grew up watching. I had also heard that he is the unofficial mayor of Easton, and sometimes walks around, shakes hands and poses for pictures, and that there was a chance that we could possibly get to see him, but no such luck. Nevertheless, we did have a good time there!

We visited the Easton Public Market. Wow! It reminded this Philly boy and girl (me and My Love) of the Reading Terminal Market in Philadelphia, howbeit on a smaller scale. We had some great food for lunch. I wanted a lobster roll, but it was at “market price”, and when I asked, they said it was over $20!), so I opted instead for a crab salad sandwich at a much more reasonable price. My Love had ramen from another vendor that she said was delicious.
