Ah I guess I'll skip the county seats. But I'll do one about the counties.

She was sitting on a stool. Not driving, not holding a gun, not causing mayheim. Sitting on a fucking stool.
I this is acceptable in society, then we are truly a bunch pathetic degenerates who take zero responsibility for our own actions.
This country is nothing but alcoholics.

>Not the bars fault. I don't care if she was visibility intoxicated or not.

Not how these things are viewed. The bar has an affirmative legal responsibility to the patron, especially if visibly drunk.

Yet another drunk filing a dram shop action... when will bars learn to stop over-serving patrons? The liability policy probably will cover whatever this is settled for and the barfly will continue to be served as if nothing ever happened. And so it goes...

I thought it was incredibly interesting to read about Joseph Rothrock's efforts to start up the state forest initiative, as well as the history of the fire towers. I'm glad to see that Penn state is taking the invasive insect problem so seriously.

Most of PA was cleared of the large trees in its forests by about 1900. Folks thought the supply was endless... until it wasn't. Took real effort to grow back the trees.

Now we've got insects and fungus removing certain species. Chestnuts and elms are mostly gone. Ash are almost gone. Hemlocks are in danger. And now chestnut oaks are under attack by fungus. Which tree is next?

12/12. Ask me where Throop or Pringle are next time.

Now do one with each of the 67 county seats. :-)

New Castle was at one point a major industrial center. Home of the hot dog and fireworks, located just across the border from Youngstown. Folks should know it not only for those but also for its historical value and as a center of a robust Amish/agricultural economy.

I'm sure they said the same about blue cheese the first time. haha

ggrrrooooossssssss

Interesting! As always I struggle a bit which places to include in such a quiz. It is mainly by population and a few famous ones such as Gettysburg. Sometimes I have to drop a place if it is too close to other cities on the map (here e.g. Hershey and Bethlehem). Regarding New Castle no very special reason. I am open to suggestions regarding cities that need to be included.

12/12 I’m a star

Yup.

It was actually Joseph Rothrock that really pushed the state purchasing these lands to re-tree them, he is one of the reasons that they are protected today.

Pennsylvania's first forestry fella, interesting life story, my great great uncle.

11/12 New Castle I wasn't even familiar with. Clicked places nearest Delaware only because I know of New Castle Delaware. Got it on 3rd try when I noticed the one out west that I couldn't otherwise identify.

Ah the glory of no accountability. Not the bars fault. I don't care if she was visibility intoxicated or not.

OP, out of curiosity, how did you choose which municipalities to be included in your quiz? No offense to any redditor from New Castle, but I was a bit surprised it made the cut

Also just so you are aware, something that is interesting about Pennsylvania political geography is that none of our land can be unincorporated and that mergers and consolidations are uncommon. What happens instead is municipalities work together to offer services but do not formally merge. What this means is that you will enter a Pennsylvania city before you enter the legal city limits. Pittsburgh is a great example of this. (Note number 74: the borough of Mt. Oliver.)

But the way the US Census Bureau counts people is normally based on municipality and doesn't quite match what you would assume is part of the city. So instead we call these all of these municipalities "Suburbs" even when they function as a unit with the larger city

This resistance to consolidation and merger might be a holdover from Philadelphia's 1854 consolidation.

Edit: making it clear no land in PA can be UNincorporated

I believe he has to go all 12 rounds of bare knuckle boxing with Jack Frost in order to loose his immortality. At least that's what I recall from the movie.

12/12. Geography was the one subject in school that I’m absolutely brilliant at.

Didn't even notice there was a drop-down option for that lol

Hey thanks! In the "hide answers" game mode correct and wrong answers won't be visible after a few seconds.

I went to a wedding held on the steps inside the rotunda a few years ago. Bagpipes sound absolutely amazing with the acoustics there.

11/12. Probably should have done it not at a stop light
