Yes, I've made my share of purchases through their website, and generally the discounts aren;t as great as buying through other means, but those points sure do add up fast.  And you can earn significant points without purchasing...just by reading their emails and clicking the links, and taking the occasional surveys they send, those points just accumulate!  I average a $10 gift card award every other month for very little effort!...

This is without a doubt the best small (they call it mid-size) car I have ever owned, you can't beat their warranty, and the price was great too!...

For the most part, the service by the morning breakfast staff is very fast. The food won't win rave reviews, but it's no worse than that of other places in the Harrisburg area, is reasonably priced, and is usually served hot. The morning staff are mostly regulars that have been there for a long time, and once they get to know you will kibbitz with you when they have a moment. As far as lunch and dinner, I've tried them a couple times, and the previous reviews are pretty much on the mark...I doubt I'll return anytime in the forseeable future for lunch or dinner. I'll stick with breakfast.... Tue, 27 Nov 2007 22:34:33 GMT http://www.viewpoints.com/Colonial-Park-Diner-Harrisburg-PA-review-a3f20 benjy1 3
