On our last night in Tamaqua - Nancy and I visited the Tamaqua Train Station. There is a beautiful restaurant there now. The station was restored by a group in town led by Ken Smulligan called SOS - Save Our Station. With the help of preservation grants the station was meticulously restored to better than new condition. As we dined there - I recalled my days as a youth hanging out in the dilapidated building and using the 5 cent a minute phone booth. I also remember when Bill Fritz - Gail's husband was a clerk for the Reading Railroad there.
We were there last Sunday night - Mothers Day - at around 8PM. The food was excellent and the service outstanding. It will always be one of our first stops in Tamaqua.
The pictures are dark because it was 8 PM and we did not want to disturb the other patrons with a flash.
All the desserts are homemade.
