Ghost Mural

I do enjoy seeing ghost murals and find that the alley side of an old building is often the best places for spotting them.

This one is in Bedford, PA just a few doors down from Rebellion Books, a bookshop that took a lot of my money in exchange for a wonderful book shopping experience.

Bedford is a neat little town filled with history, fun shops, and charm. I have nothing but fond memories of this place and only regret we didn’t have more time.

I am plotting a return someday because we only hit the highlights like this historic tavern and the big coffee pot. I want to see more of what’s hiding along the side streets and alleyways. After all, it’s usually off the beaten path where we find the real magic happens.

Rebellion Books

One of the highlights of any trip for me is finding the local bookstores. On my recent Pennsylvania adventure, we found a wonderful independent bookstore called Rebellion Books.

This store is carefully curated and has a surprisingly nice selection of non fiction along with children’s books and a fantastic variety of fiction.

In the world of independent book stores, it can be challenging to find good non fiction selections so that was exciting.

Rebellion Books is located in an 1897 building in downtown Bedford. It is named after the 1794 Whiskey Rebellion which happened in and around Bedford.

I really liked this store. It’s cozy and inviting and it was like their buyer knew exactly the kind of book I would want to read.

I could have stayed all day and I was pleased to support them by purchasing more than I probably should have.

Want to visit? It’s located on the historic Lincoln Highway and just across the street from Bedford Candies. It’s also not too far from the giant coffee pot!
