DD,
There is such a place, and it is in Manayunk!
Philadelphia Woodworks Members Workshop is a membership based woodshop that also is going to be offering classes this spring. The facility also has a lumberyard and retail store on site. The shop is opening March 1, 2012.

The folks there are really nice and happy to tell you all about the shop and answer any questions. They also give tours- they welcome anyone to come check out the space and are interested to hear about your experience or curiosity about woodworking.

Definitely worth checking out, whether you are a beginner or experienced woodworker. The class list seems like anyone can do it- introductory stuff and fun projects, and also some really advanced stuff. They're online at www.philadelphiawoodworks.com , all the contact info is there. I would absolutely recommend checking it out, web and in person. It will make you want to build things!

Hope this helps!

I was seeking the same thing a few months ago, to help deal with a series of cluster headaches I have been experiencing. I first tried www,phillyacupuncture.org as it's the first result i came across. The treatment was supposed to take 3-4 weeks. But the morning after the first session, my back was filled with puss spots a markings from the needles. Maybe it was an allergic reaction, but I will never return there again. Regardless of what the cause was, I tried Lauren Buckley after the first bad experience and cant recommend her enough! Shes great, and more importantly clean.

(www.nextfabstudio.com) saw an article recently on their center. Did you also check the back to school night in the suburban communities?

Don't know if it's Memb. based but there is also http://www.stentonguild.com/

There is such a place in University City, called NextFab Studio
(www.nextfabstudio.com)
It opened in the Science Center last January. They have all that you mention and machines to work with wood, plastic, glass, metal (incl. steel), etc..

Since my idea of roughing it is a 3 star hotel with no room service maybe you should look on the state of Pa website? They list all the parks and campsites

Good Luck

I bicycled here last weekend. Was a blast, took me a few hours biking so not sure how long if you drive. Little supervision, $25 a night. Fishing etc. Right on a reservoir.

Ricketts Glen State Park is fantastic. Waterfalls abound--beautiful and remote. Alcohol is not permitted at any State Park, but if you are discreet, it shouldn't be a problem anywhere (AKA use plastic cups).

World's End is great too, but if you get the wrong campsite it's a little too crowded--but they have some nice walk-up sites. Also near some great rivers.

Not sure about fishing.

Not a woman, but Dr. Frank Gu is awesome:

Fixed my leg when other docs were saying I'd never train again.

Lauren Buckley--best acupuncturist ever! http://www.laurenbuckleyacupuncture.com/

Her space at 6th and Carpenter is beautiful and clean and she is incredible!
