When I grew up in Sherman’s Dale there was a cozy cafe, diner and Chinese place near the grocery store.

There's a big traffic circle there now. I believe the diner is still there. Fairly sure the others are gone.

Yup pretty sure the Chinese place and cafe is long gone. I’ll have to stop at the diner next time Im in town.

Diner is still there too. There's also the Shermans Creek Inn and a Barbecue place (actually 2!) in either direction on 34.

Kind of preferred the Creek before the new owners. But I’m a sucker for indoor smoking dives…

I was in there about a month ago and it was still smoking.

Hm, I’m in the Harrisburg area a few times a year but mostly keep tabs on Sherman’s Dale from my friend down the road. Guess I misunderstood the renovations.

I grew up here in the late 90s/early 2000s. The grocery store was called BiLo (or something to that effect) and the diner was Twin Kiss, which later downsized into just an ice cream shop and moved down the street next to the gas station. A new diner moved in and ripped out the outdoor deck. There also used to be a mom & pop video rental store facing the road at the bottom of the hill, on the other side from the Chinese place.

Just looked at that little area again on Google Maps- how much has changed since then.

Haha yup the video rental store was a treat as a kid. They even had video games to rent.
