Bucks’ Own

Solve the cryptogram to find a quote by Margaret Mead. Kudos if you know the name of the streets at the intersection in Doylestown where this sign is located (without googling it).

Can you solve the cryptogram above? If so, respond in comments with the solution, and where you might find respite from the Saturday suburban symphony of lawnmowers this weekend.

Consider Pennsbury Manor, Five Mile Woods, Bowman’s Hill Wildflower Preserve (although the Spring Garden Gala takes place in the evening), Peace Valley Park and Delaware Canal State Park.

Cryptogram

Coming soon: some notes about a gospel performance this weekend, a play review and a profile of a Bucks County artist. For now, a puzzle, because they’re fun. Although there is a letter used only once, I’m confident a clue isn’t necessary, as there are several words in the quote that are easy puzzlers. If I’m wrong, I’m certain you’ll let me know.
