    I asked for alternatives, b/c there wasn't one local. In Food and Cooking forum.

    I don't shop the Army and Navy store anymore they tried to go upscale and it backfired on them. Last time I looked for their shop, They had moved (again) and they may be closed now.

    Palmyra isn't that far - I'll have to check it out...I wonder if the wind will be blowing in from Hershey that day!!! Thanks.

    yeah 'force' yourself to stop at chocolate world, take a free tour, and pick up some fresh chocolate (wayyyy better than the stuff they sell in stores) on your way through.

    so, 83 to hershey
    pick up 422 (83 really just turns into 422 so you don't have to turn)
    follow through hershey
    pass into palmyra
    just past railroad st it's on the left. park w/e
    the guys (and 1 gal) that own the store are very nice

    so really it's a straight shot w/ no turns at all once you get on 83 until you get past railroad street, then it's a left turn into a small parking lot
