Review – Pioneer AVH-W4500NEX 7-Inch AV Receiver w/CarPlay & Android Auto In-Dash Receiver

Not that long ago, a full-featured audio system in your automobile meant AM/FM radio with a CD player, or heck, maybe even an 8-track player. Nowadays, new cars ship with built-in GPS, digital tuners, USB interconnectivity, sophisticated displays, mobile phone connectivity, and a multitude of features. However, as the quality of cars increases, Americans are holding on to their autos longer and longer, so upgrading to an audio system like the flagship Pioneer AVH-W4500NEX makes a lot of sense. Read on for our full review.

Review – The 4th Annual American Whiskey Convention at the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archeology and Anthropology – Spring 2019

The elegant and historically rich Museum of Archeology and Anthropology at the University of Pennsylvania was a fitting backdrop for the 4^thAnnual American Whiskey Convention. History and whiskey have a long history in Pennsylvania. The infamous Whiskey Rebellion took place in the western end of Pennsylvania in 1794, when the young U.S. government began taxing whiskey to pay for the Revolutionary War, so it’s only fitting to set this premier whiskey event in the Keystone State. Now in its fourth year, the convention showcases premium whiskeys from throughout the country, as well as local vendors and craftspeople.

We install two of their products, People Treads, the self-adhesive clear stair treads for inside the home, and Handi Treads to keep you safe outdoors. Read this before you or the people you love become a statistic.
