Whether you buy something or not, it's great to get out in the downtown. John Coppens, who opened JC Jewelers on East King Street about a year ago, would agree. I was raised in Philly, which is a world of difference. I love Shippensburg. It's like a throwback to the older days.

As the end of one lunch hour approaches, an SU student, Jessica Engle, parks her car facing west on King Street and trots across the street to the post office. It's geared toward the older person. But it is a nice town.
