PENNSYLVANIA - COME ON! IT'S ONLY PHILADELPHIA THAT SUCKS.

You've got a friend Pennsylvania - who's currently swearing up a storm driving behind some Amish buggy at 5 mph.

So Texasgirl, have you had the full PA experience yet?

Have you frozen your @ss off in the middle of the summer on the beach at Lake Erie?

Have you chased a black bear away from your trash can?

Does your neighbor own a Gremlin?

Is going to Wal-mart like stepping back into 1973?

Does the basement of your house still smell faintly of coal?

I'm going to the in-laws in Florida for Christmas - will be the first time in a long time I didn't go to PA. It will be nice to be warm, but somehow I will miss spending Christmas day trying to make conversation with my redneck cousins who have never been out of state. Or maybe I won't...that much...

Has anyone else noticed that sitcoms have been using Cleveland as the example of the worst place in America lately? Cleveland really has improved so much in recent years. I grew up there when the place was really bad. Much improved now.

BTW, just how bad is Pittsburgh? My daughter has an opportunity to go to college there ...should i be scared?

How bad is Pittsburgh? Not bad at all. Whether you're referring to crime or pollution or cost-of-living or whatever, it's a nice, average, city . . . in a lot of ways, it's like an overgrown small town.

Navigation is a minor nightmare because, given the hills and rivers, routes are circuitous and sometimes you just can't get there from here.

PENNSLVANIA...EASIER TO SPELL THAN MASSACHUSETTS (apparently not)

Pennsylvania, where Philadelphia elects our governor.

Welcome to Pennsylvania, form a single line ahead.

Pennsylvania, where you can't buy liquor without the government's help (and permission).

Does the basement of your house still smell faintly of coal?

Is there a commode in your cellar, right out in the open, next to the washer and dryer?
(And if you don't have a dryer, is there a clothesline strung up in your cellar?)
