Sheetz had to build their technology center in Pittsburgh because they couldn't convince young people with an education to move to Altoona.

Several places serve it and it looks gross, IMO. I've never seen anyone order it.
Altoona has some interesting features to explore but it needs a lot of rehabbing. There's not a lot of jobs bringing people in.

Wellsboro has the PA grand canyon and a pretty cute Dickenson village around Christmas

Reply to Pennsylvania lawmaker to introduce legislation repealing death penalty by Waterwebgrasshopper
It's about time. State sponsored murder is still murder. And you can't take it back later if someone was put to death for something they didn't do.

Kane also has Bell’s Market, where they make all of their sausages in-house. The pineapple bacon, sweet leek, and blueberry breakfast sausage are my go-tos when I’m up there.

The situation was certainly sad. I don't mean to minimize it. But there has to be some established standard to give proxy, right?

Haven’t been there in a few years, but I remember Milford PA was a very nice little town, right next to the Delaware Water Gap too.

When I was a kid, we had a family friend who had a hunting cabin up there. We spent a long weekend in Potter County with them.

Reply to low flying fighter jets in pairs blasted over my house just now. anyone else notice? Mechanicsburg pa by Jskerp
I live near Jim Thorpe, and these valleys were used heavily for fighter training missions during the Bosnian conflict and still are on occasion. I wouldn't be surprised if it was something similar.

Phoenixville is a pretty neat town and if you like craft breweries it can't be beat. Good restaurants, neat shops, near Valley Forge National Historic park, other historic places nearby. The town hosts a couple neat festivals every year with Blobfest probably being the highlight. Or maybe the burning of the Phoenix... Man, I miss that place.

Probably the second nicest Penn State commonwealth campus only behind Erie, but Altoona City has all the problems you'd expect from a city that's losing it's main industry.

Milton. Former home of Chef-Boy-Ardee. Cute little town. Nothing special. Just feels nice.
Huntingdon, small town with college.
Elizabethtown, bigger small town with college.
Jim Thorpe. Feels a little like New England.
Emporium, another cute little town. Nothing going on, but close to the elk, in beautiful Cameron County.
Kane, another great little town with Nothing going on, except for the PA Wilds. Beautiful, has a small, but great restaurant scene.
Just trying to avoid the obvious: Lancaster, Gettysburg, Wellsboro, Coudersport.

Holy fuck someone mentioned Shingleshack.
Shingy is where I plan to go in case of nuclear strike or zombie apocalypse.

Reply to PPL Electric, Illegal charges? Class action? - Estimated bills and service failure by aggressive_napkin_
I have to admit... this is kind of amusing.
​
MetEd STILL estimates bills ALL the time, It wasn't at all unusual for me to get 3 - 4 estimated bills in a row in 2018 and then get a refund because they had overcharged so much...
​
This is 100% legal, they are 100% ALLOWED to estimate your bill, the only reason this is even a thing is it happened in a really cold month. All these calls and claims that it is illegal are incorrect.
