I think Quakertown's on the border between greater Philadelphia and upstate Pennsylvania. On a Sunday, when the downtown is closed and quiet, it gives the impression of being back in time if that's what you're looking for. Went to the Q-Mart, the local (non-Amish?) farmers' market and bazaar. Grandma's fake-'50s luncheonette is a noble entry in the genre; small enough and not a chain so if you toned down the kitsch it could pass for the real thing. Good food and friendly people. The car and restaurant pictures are mine. More things I mean to see upstate: Das Awkscht Fescht in Macungie, the Carlisle classic-car show, and the World War II weekend at the Reading airport.
Catholic integralism is the true seamless garment.
Don't apologize for things you didn't do, to people who don't believe in forgiveness or redemption.
