Slippery Rock Open Thread
Hey, where's the best place to buy workout supplements in Slippery Rock? I don't actually use any, but there aren't any Yelp reviews for "Your Gym & Complete Supplement Store" and if I drive through town I may need to pick up some Whey.
I'd appreciate any help.

The funny thing is you pass Slippery Rock, PA on the way to Penn State. My dad and I found it hilarious when we reached the exit for Slippery Rock.

Slippery Rock: The Story Behind the NameIn 1779, Col. Daniel Brodhead was in command of Fort Pitt at the present site of the city of Pittsburgh. Col. Brodhead begged Gen. George Washington to allow him to lead an expedition against the Seneca Indians who were raiding settlements in the area. The troops encountered the Indians and were forced to flee for their lives.
In pursuit, the soldiers crossed a creek at a place where the stream bed was comprised of large smooth rocks. Wearing heavy boots, the soldiers were able to cross the creek safely, but the Seneca Indians, wearing smooth moccasins, slipped and fell on the rocks—enabling the cavalry to make their escape.
Historically, the Indians called the stream “Wechachochapohka” which means: “a slippery rock.” Once Slippery Rock Creek was christened, the adjoining town later became known by the catchy name as well.
