Yesterday our town woke up to a horrible site. Our beloved “No Place For Hate Mural” had been defaced. (Swipe for its current state) It’s crushing to see a treasure to this town treated this way. It is Building A Better Boyertown’s vision to ensure that Boyertown is a welcoming, vibrant, and engaging community for people from all walks of life. We have started a fundraising campaign to save our beloved mural. @pahwf and @berksfoundation have generously offered to provide a dollar for dollar match of up to $2500 each for a total of $5000! Please considering donating and show everyone that Boyertown is NO PLACE FOR HATE! Link for fundraiser is in our profile. Before commenting, please know we are all aware of Boyertown’s history, hence the mural and the desire to rise above. We only want to cultivate a community with love in their hearts. This takes time and we know the community isn’t perfect. Repairing this mural is the first steps in fostering change. Please know, hateful or unhelpful comments will be removed. #boyertown #boyertownpa #pennsylvania #berkscountypa #noplaceforhate #mural #fundraiser #defaced #destroyed #publicart (at Boyertown, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUu1dfQr-fL/?utm_medium=tumblr

Hooray! We got some coverage in @thepottstownmercury for the event @poetvincent and I performed typewritten poetry at in @historic.boyertown last Saturday! The Valentine’s Day weekend event was a hit with live music, DIY bouquets, photo booths, and couple caricatures. It was such a romantic event to be a part of and activate the downtown for the local community. We got lucky with the warm weather and I was so excited to meet so many new poetry lovers. 📷 by Jesi Yost February 2022 Click the link in my bio to read the article! #dreampoetforhire #poetforhire #poetryondemand #streetwriters #buskinglife #busker #typewriterpoetry #poetsofinstagram #marshalljameskavanaugh #publicpoetry #buildabetterboyertown #boyertownpa #phillypoet #phillypoetry #poetry247 #pottstownmercury #berkscounty (at Boyertown, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/CaBFY9Wj8uk/?utm_medium=tumblr

On the Road in Boyertown - There’s a funny thing I’ve learned in the 15 years of writing about Pennsylvania. Hidden in every small town is a big story. This one is no exception; just ask one of the locals, they’ll be happy to tell you. With a population of approximately 4,000 residents, you might think Boyertown, Berks County, Pennsylvania’s Americana Region is little more than a dot on the map. But, you would be mistaken. https://visitpaamericana.com/other-bloggers/on-the-road-in-boyertown/

Have you ever been to Cannon Hill in Boyertown that sits at the top of Union Cemetery? The first cannon on Cannon Hill was installed in 1876 on a wooden undercarriage. When the cannon was fired it would recoil so far back it would fly off the end of its wooden track. It was fired on holidays such as the 4th of July and Memorial Day. Townspeople complained bitterly about the noise and broken windows. On July 4, 1910 someone set fire to the undercarriage. No one knows who the culprits were, but there were guesses. Either townspeople did it so it could never be fired again or the men who were tasked with putting it back in place on the track each time it was fired, did it. Either way it was the end of firing the cannon on Cannon Hill. The track was replaced with a concrete base sometime later. The Boyertown Times announced on July 21, 1938, a dedication and presentation of a War Memorial overlooking Boyertown. You can still visit today and take in the views! #boyertown #boyertownpa #pennsylvania #pennsylvaniaisbeautiful #berkscountypa #berkscountyhistory #history #cannonhill #cannons #views #pennsylvaniahistory #historicalboyertown #betterinboyertown #cemetery (at Boyertown, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/CR1lI5lLpms/?utm_medium=tumblr

If you drive up Philadelphia Ave in Boyertown, you may notice this Bear Fever bear. His name is Doc. He was sponsored by Dr. Lignelli of Pottstown Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Associates- Boyertown office. My favorite part of Doc is his tie which is adorned with teeth! 🤣 #boyertownpa #boyertown #pennsylvania #berkscountypa #bear #bearhunt #bearfever #artswalk #dentalsurgeon #dental #teeth #art #sculpture #fiberglass #fiberglasssculpture #community #artproject #handpainted #travelandtourism #roadtrip #smalltown #betterinboyertown (at Boyertown, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/CO0SJfCL2mj/?igshid=18y02q98z80nj
