In any book, there are bound to be some typos. Alas, mine has a few too. As I find them, I'll post corrections to those typos here. If you spot one and it's not here just email me and I'll add it. Also this is where you can find out if a place has closed - I sure hope it's not many.

Eddie says "Ciao a tutti"
My friend and source of a rockin Gorgonzola cheesesteak has closed his doors. Eddie Agostinelli says goodbye to all and has closed up shop in Boalsburg. He's the first place in my book to do so. Please note this as you plot your next adventure – sorry.
Buona Fortuna Eddie!

Parking Meter Story
This isn't an official Oops, but I feel it’s a great explanation for what I mistakenly thought was a problem at a little café in Hollidaysburg. The following was sent to me by email:
Ken,
First of all, great job with the new book! I purchased a copy at the Centre County Visitors Center on a recent trip to State College. I wholeheartedly support your mission and I know our business owners are happy to be included in the book.
Second, since I'm an employee of the Borough of Hollidaysburg, I thought I would shed some light on the now infamous 12 minute parking meter you discussed in your entry on St. Drogo's Café, if someone hasn't beaten me to it! The reason for the 12 minute meter is actually to protect the coffee shop from parking hungry lawyers and courthouse employees. Without the 12 minute meter, we (and Donnie, the coffee shop owner) found that people would park in the space in front of the coffee shop all day long, or for hours at a time, thereby eliminating parking for people who want to zip in for a coffee before work or during lunch (instead of zipping into the chain gas station for coffee across the street). All of the other meters on Allegheny Street have a two hour limit. However, lawyers from Pittsburgh, who are used to paying $25 a day to park, think nothing of a $15 parking ticket for parking in the spaces past the two hour time limit. So there you have it, the Borough Council was simply trying to assist one of our local business owners.
Again, great job with the book! I've really enjoyed reading about the places I haven't been to and look forward to visiting them as well.

2nd paragraph - complimentary should have no hyphen. Oops!
