Just having the eyes on it will reduce shrink. There have been studies about how people will behave more honestly if they think they're being watched, even by eyes painted on the wall.

That thing followed me around in the Harrisburg Martin's store when I was visiting friends a few weeks ago. I just grabbed some gouda cubes and got out of its range.

Lowhill has just over 2,000 people in 14 square miles and my family still lives there.

It's still a fairly rural, really hilly township and even now has no 4-lane roads, not even Route 100 and just one traffic light at an awkward-angled intersection and no police department.

Warehouses have no business there.

Hi Marvin!

Here they are, brain the size of a planet, and Giant asks them to beep at spills

Safety Dance.

There’s one on Cottman Ave too my kid loves that thing .

I swear this is how the Terminator movies start.

Obviously. But it is there being constantly blocked previously, so I don’t understand why the Democrats are not sending it out

Can confirm, many mullets in the Chambersburg area… but only on women

80s hair never left most of PA

I’m imagining some dystopian robot slave society where we’re wrangling runaways and forcing them back to their labor.

It’s not too hard to fathom. It’ll pay for itself in a few months vs a teenager. Also highly doubt it’s for theft or recording you. That’s ludicrous there are cameras overhead with better angles. An awkward robot that moves at 0.1 mph isn’t monitoring for theft.

The info from your bonus card tendencies is way more valuable.

Well, what’s the alternative? Unemployment or lifelong low employment? The economy is changing; warehouses and transportation are big now, and PA is in the perfect geography for it. And if you want to see farms, in a lot of places, look about 5 miles away from the interstate and lo, there they are.

But u got CHRIST in your name but didn’t know who his father was… u are f#cken DummyHead 😂😂

YESHUAs child is GODs son… u would know that if you wasn’t such a demonic 🍆eating democratic Moron 😂😂😂… I REST MY CASE 🤡

I'm from one of the neighboring townships that recently got its first warehouses, and I've seen a lot of yard signs in Lowhill opposing the warehouses.

Luckily, here in my corner of Chester County we’ve been able to preserve a lot of open land and farmland.

State College has one of the most robust bus systems in the state. By ridership it is actually one of the best bus systems in the country. I am a city nerd and once compiled this data and I believe State College was something like #77 in the whole USA by total annual ridership. Though, these figures were all before covid. I have the data saved and can dig it up for you if you are interested.

I wonder if there is any potential for a light rail service if a full fledged Amtrak connection is off the table? Busses have their limits, especially when the roads are already congested by game day to traffic.

Huh, and it wasn't BJJ. I am in shock.

State College, until the mid 1950’s, was a podunk, rural, nothingburger of a town. It was akin to what Mansfield, PA is today. It was a small farming crossroads that had a small land grant university which was mostly based on agricultural studies. My grandfather was born in 1939 and grew up in Pine Grove Mills and later State College, and he had said that Lock Haven was a much bigger city and a much bigger deal than State College was at the time, back then. State College was small.

Then, in 1953 Penn State College became Penn State University. PSU also had a University president who was then USA president Dwight D Eisenhower’s brother, Milton Eisenhower. The university started expanding their offerings, attracting large federal grants, expanding their sports program, and building up and modernizing the campus and facilities. State College’s downtown and surrounding areas began to flourish. There was even talk of renaming State College to McCallisterville, and other various names, since the college had become a full-fledged university.

The town began to grow rapidly in the 1970’s as the University continued rising to national prominence. The town gained even more traction when the University joined the Big Ten Conference in 1990. State College as a result continues to grow and densify today. It now has arguably the 3rd (or, definitely in the Top 5) best downtowns in the entire state of PA, behind only Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and only a couple of others, depending on your preferences/criteria.

TLDR: There was no real need for passenger rail service to State College, until much more recently. That is why it does not exist.

Also given the mountainous terrain, it would be hard to build a continuous rail service up into Nittany Valley. You would need a series of tunnels. Just look at how treacherous 322 (Seven Mountains pass towards Lewistown) and I-99 (between Altoona and Port Matilda) are. So the cost to build that infrastructure would be quite steep, no pun intended.

Amtrak is really helping Lancaster and Harrisburg a lot - both have Amtrak stations. It’s a shame State College isn’t in on the action, too. State College has come a long way, and I imagine it will continue to do well without rail service. I mean, look at how much the airport there has expanded. How much the state is pouring into finishing I-99 and upgrading 322, and building a new 99/80 interchange. State College is still a priority site for state and federal infrastructure, I would imagine.

Too bad there's only one dance, The Robot

Actually our lungs.

Bitchin' binary solo though.

They'll use poisonous gases and they'll poison our asses
