Pennsylvania

The flag of Pennsylvania is the keystone species of the area.

Pennsylvania is a state in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States and was the second to ratify the Constitution, making it officially the second state admitted into the United States. Despite this, Pennsylvania actually kinda sucks.

Things to do in Pennsylvania

  1. Leave. Everyone hates it here.
  2. If you choose to stay despite warning you before, then feel free to eat or drink:
    • Apple dumplings
    • Beer from one of over 200 microbreweries
    • Philly cheesesteaks
    • Philly sandwiches
    • Pierogies in Pittsburgh
    • Primanti's sandwich
    • Scrapple
    • Shoofly pie
    • Strombolis
  3. Say hi to local Amish communities.
  4. The Andy Warhol Museum has the biggest collection of works by this filmmaker.
  5. The Barnes Foundation has a bunch of Impressionist and post-Impressionist works of art.
  6. The Brandywine Museum of Art has more artworks, except those are mostly by N. C. Wyeth and family.
  7. The Fonthill Castle is just another big mansion.
    • You also got the Mercer Museum, which, from what I see, has objects hanging on the walls and from the ceiling.
  8. Independence Hall, colonial government, yadda yadda yadda.
  9. The Liberty Bell has a crack! Oh noooo...
  10. Ah yes, Longwood Gardens. Though it's got many nice exotic plants, it unfortunately has large lawns, akin to a large European palace.
  11. Climb up the Philadelphia Museum of Art's stairs and dance in celebration.
  12. The Penn Museum's got archeology and anthropology galore.
  13. The Eastern State Penitentiary is basically a dilapidated prison.
  14. Hotel Pennsylvania is a must!
  15. Either mind or don't mind the war between Wawa and Sheetz.

Notable communities and places

Allentown

It's also in the state of existence! It also has an Apple Store there, if you're into that sort of thing.

Altoona

It exists. That's about it. Also there's a huge curve through the mountains where trains travel through. Makes sense that the local Minor League Baseball team is the Curve.

Bethlehem

It neighbors Allentown and has some educational stuff of interest I think.

Bird-in-Hand

It is unknown what occurs in Bird-in-Hand, but I have forgotten my name?

Blue Ball

A very small community that people visit for having a funny name. Has absolutely nothing else going for it except Amish farmers, I guess.

Bradford

This has the Zippo factory and a museum of Zippos. If you like lighters with covers, this'll probably be your forte.

Breezewood

Way too car-centric. Make Breezewood Walkable (Again?).

Hell on earth

.

Centralia

A town famous for being the site of an underground coal mine fire. Despite this, 6 people still live there (nvm, there's only 4).

Cherry Springs State Park

Perfect for stargazers.

Connellsville

At one time, five different railway companies served this small community. Very impressive, considering its size.

Cresson

Trains!

Easton

It has Crayola! Do you like crayons? Go here then, I guess.

Erie

Erie's actually kind of cool, next to a lake and it also has Presque Isle. It's also one of the colder, if not the coldest major city in Pennsylvania due to it being directly next to Lake Erie, a Great Lake.

Gallitzin

More trains!

Gettysburg

A historical war site for enthusiasts of the American Civil War and is a popular tourist destination.

Harrisburg

The state capital. It's kind of nice in some parts and has a decently modern courthouse to boot.

Hershey

It has Herhsey! Do you like chocolate? Go here then, I guess. It also has a theme park and did you know that Hershey's chocolate cannot be called chocolate in the EU because it has a low cocoa count?

Honesdale

This was where the Stourbridge Lion, aka the first all-American choo choo train was built. Big Boy would be proud.

...That was my lawyers, they advised me not to refer to locomotives as "choo choos" or else train people will get mad at me.

Indiana

Are you sure you're in the right state? Anyways, it's a top supplier of Christmas trees. Get 'em while you can!

Intercourse

Yet another village that people flock to for having a funny name, except they capitalized upon it and made it a more sustainable tourist destination.

King of Prussia

What's a Prussia? Anyways it's a little better than Philadelphia but that's really not saying much.

Lancaster

Urban Amish. That's a word combination that should never be uttered out loud.

Londonberry Township

The home to the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant, which had the partial meltdown incident of the same name in 1979, only 7 years before the Chernobyl disaster.

McKeesport

Vaporwave Vibes for the Daily Commute moment

Mill Run

Home to Fallingwater, some futuristic house overlooking a serene waterfall.

New Castle

Sad. So sad. A very run down rust belt city with high crime and poor infrastructure.

Philadelphia

Do not live in Philadelphia. The surrounding cities are better to live in but as a result are more expensive. It has some neat historical value, but it's much better to be a tourist then a resident and even then you still may get mugged.

Pittsburgh

Depressing. The definition of a Rust Belt city.

Is what I would say if Pittsburgh didn't kick ass LET'S GO PENGUINS

Pocono Mountains

Seemingly fun to pronounce, but came from the Huluníixsuwaakan term for "creek between two hills".

Punxsutawney

This is where Punxsutawney Phil delivers his sermons.

Scranton

Once had the most notable thing about it being that it was the setting for The Office (there is no such thing as Dunder Mifflin in real life) despite it not being filmed there. Now notable for being the birth place of Joe Biden, and even renamed the Scranton Expressway to the Joe Biden Expressway. Also has Steamtown National Historic Site which is kinda neat. One of Big Boy's brothers lives there.

Seven Valleys

Well, there is a woman here.

She offered you something.

Yes No

State College

This place is named after the fact it has Penn State University. That's kinda lame. There's a 100K-seat handegg stadium in the middle of nowhere... sorta. Well, to be fair, a quarter to half of all 100K spectators are students.

St. Marys

The largest settlement by land area and has a lot of German ancestry.

Strasburg

Home to the Strasburg Rail Road, America's oldest operating common carrier railway.

whoops

Stroudsburg

The gateway to New Jersey if you're coming from eastern PA from somewhere like Allentown.

Valley Forge

The Continental Army stayed here during the winter.

Washington

Not the worst small town in western Pennsylvania

Williamsport

If you like sports and education, you might like it. Otherwise not much else to de except have a chance to be murdered.

Wilkes-Barre

If Donald Trump does a rally or speech there, run and hide as quick as you are able to. He's done it multiple times and every street in shopping areas will be filled with racist symbols and other nonsense. Also had a high homicide rate in the early 2010's.

York

Sorry, you're mistaken. New York is NORTH, not south.
