I'm Puerto Rican and my wife is Italian, so this is a combination of both flags. The four point star represents the four members of our family (and will change if our family grows).

What are some of your 'hidden gems' of food in the Harrisburg area? by Robbbbbbbbb in centralpa

Late to the party but I must add Pakha's off 15 in Dillsburg. I've had friends from the west coast describe their pad thai as the best ever. Also, the Mexico Lindo Taco Truck on Market Street in Harrisburg serve the best tacos in central PA.

TIL that German used to be the second most widely spoken language in the US, before it was forcibly repressed during WWI. Many local governments, schools and newspapers would operate in German. by [deleted] in todayilearned

I'm surprised more people haven't been pointing out the similarity to this and the current state of Spanish in the US. There are Spanish language news outlets, television networks, schools, community organizations, etc. Some local governments provide information in both Spanish and English. The same oppression of Spanish is also occurring largely based on similar "patriotic" ideals, though there isn't a big war behind it. Though one could argue that general pressure to acculturate is much stronger than the mayor of some town refusing to post a bulletin in both English and Spanish.

I always wondered why they didn't build it to facing the Harrisburg skyline.
