    Make a 30ish mile out of the way tangent to see the world's most (in)famous rodent? Sure, why not?…read more Here's what matters: - No, we would never dream of coming here on a certain day in February - Parking was super easy at the rear lot for the library/police station/fire department/hair care/tire center - Apparently when it snows and gets icy, the locals don't believe in salting their sidewalks - We saw Phil in his burrow from the outside window. Downside is that Phil's burrow looked a little philthy. Looked like some combo of gnats/flies/ants/bugs in and around Phil's food dish which is kind of disgusting. Is their a need to come here? Of course not. But I guess what the hell, just to say that you've been to a place that is semi-relevant in this country's consciousness for a brief time in the morning once a year.

    Most times the reason to come to a library is because you are a bibliophile. But there is a…read moreparticular reason to come to the Punxsutawney Memorial Library. And it is not for the books. The library is home to Phil's Burrow. Yes, that Phil. Punxsutawney Phil. You know who I'm talking about. That loveable dude that we all either want to hug or hate on February 2nd. Groundhog Day. I do have to be an aside here, and it has to do with the movie. If you saw the movie and you think you know, you don't. The movie wasn't even taped in Punxsy, it was taped in some town in Illinois. For the longest time I had no idea where this was located and I have been to the festivals at least twice in my life. I thought it was some mystical place that would be glamorous, but it isn't. Well, it is a bit mystical as it is a library. You can view Phil one of two ways. You can view from outside and see into his burrow. Or, or maybe and, you can go inside the library and view him on the platform in the children's literature section of the library. You will get to see Phil in his habitat. But you know what is really cool, Phil has a spouse. You will never guess what his spouse's name is...Phyllis. I was impressed by that. Give this a stop while in the area.
