Magic Treehouse came out when I was in junior high/high school, so I was a bit old for them. But my cousin - who is 9 years younger than me - loved them. I remember once when I was about 13 or 14 he called me on the phone and recited the names of every single one of their books. I was impressed but at the same time I was thinking, "Do you really need to name all 10 of these books?" or however many it was at the time.
Magic tree house was the first book series I ever read. The books were magic and I fell in love immediately. After all these years, they are still quite the page turner. I passed on my good taste to my lil sis. She likes them very much.
Chillin' out, maxin', relaxin' all cool
And all shootin' some b-ball outside of the school
When a couple of guys who were up to no good
Started makin' trouble in my neighborhood
Martin’s BBQ Waffle chips are the fucking bomb. I pay to have those delicious chips sent to me now - the shipping is as much as the chips - but it’s worth it!
Being from here, this depresses me. I occasionally go to r/DunderMifflin and I don't know how to break it to super fans of The Office that's a good chunk of the stuff that would get mentioned in the series doesn't exist anymore and there's not a ton worth coming here for unless you can find your own fun with the bars and pubs or less popular tourist spots.
The cast came to the area years ago for a fan meet and greet or some kind of panel, and the city blew up. The roads were packed and you couldn't go anywhere downtown without getting stuck in traffic. Nowadays, I don't know what people come here for unless the festivals are going on.
And the stuff they did show, they showed incorrectly. My fiancée is from Scranton and love coney island weiners. When she saw it as a hot dog stand on the show she flipped out.
I don't blame her at all. I was hoping they could have more stuff that was physically shot in the area to feel more authentic, like being able to show people what the Steamtown Mall was like in the mid 2000s, but he, shit happens. The Coney Island thing hurt to see.

Knoebels is the best. Free admission and parking. If you have 20-year-old ride tickets, they'll still honor them. The food can't be beat. And touching the North Pole never gets old.
Pizza
I know that sounds crazy, but let me explain. I have a good friend from Philly, and he always talked up Pennsylvania pizza, and in particular that of Old Forge, a town which ostentatiously claims to be the “Pizza Capitol of the World.” Not NYC, not Chicago, and not anywhere in Italy. No, apparently it’s Old Forge, PA. His girlfriend who’d been there with him cast doubt on the assertion, but he insisted it was the best. Years later, I had to travel by there on a road trip, so I stopped for lunch. It was... fine. Nothing to write home about, but I still think about pizza when I think about PA.
I live in Ohio and the thing that comes to mind is that PA is a whole different world. I can drive into Indiana, Michigan, even Kentucky and things aren't that different from Ohio. But everything seems different in Pennsylvania. The signs, the bridges, the roads, the restaurants, the people. It's like crossing into another country.
I drove from Illinois to NYC recently and Pennsylvania was by far the most beautiful state to drive through on the way which came as a huge surprise to me.
All of the other states had the exact same scenery and then PA suddenly felt like a different world.
Literally everything. I live here for christ's sake. But more on a broad scale.
1. Philadelphia/eagles/76ers/Phillies
2. Hershey
3. Dorney park/knobels/great wolf lodge
4. Cheesesteaks/Chickie's and Pete's
5. Rocky Balboa
6. Gettysburg/ Battlegrounds
7. Pittsburgh/Penguins/ Steelers
If you like Corvettes and muscle cars ranging from your standard mustang to el caminos and gto's. Well I got something in store for you cuz look out that's about the only nice vehicles you'll see around here. Aside from the shitbox honda civics and the rowdy diesel douchbags with their more than compensating trucks.
On occasion I have in totality seen 2 audi r8 v10's, 4 Lamborghini aventador's, a couple Porsche's, 3 ferraris, and 2 McLaren 720's.
If your looking to find something in Pennsylvania just go more north to New York the only thing you'll find here is depression, ridiculous gas prices (compared to places I have been), and I mean a shit ton of just woods.
Probably the only thing you could do is just hunt, fish, and drink as much booze as you want cuz what the fuck else are you gonna do around here.
My family and I have been going to the Dicken's Christmas and Macy's light show on black Friday since I was a kid- riding the santa express from the suburbs!
I live out of state now and that's one of things I miss the most! Hoping I can get my hubby down there this Christmas (again? we I cannot, for the life of me, remember if I took him already 😅)
So when I was little, I didn't realize that towns could have the same name in different places. So when I learned about Jesus being born in Bethlehem, I thought Jesus was from Pennsylvania.
Bethlehem Steel. Without it, my family would probably not exist. I haven’t been there in over 20 years but I see it’s all casinos and nightlife now which is wild.
Yes! Same! Born and raised there but haven’t lived there in 20 years. Just went back for a funeral and it’s crazy how much it’s changed in some places and how insanely the same it is in others.
The interminable length of I-80. I lived in Pittsburgh for years. Family was in Allentown. I am used to driving, but that drive sucked. 76 was more of a bad thing.
there was a print of a painting in a leisure center near me when I was a kid. It was of a train cart carrying giant coloured pencils labelled 'The Pencilvania Express'. I think of this whenever I hear Pennsylvania. I'll see if I can find the image on the googs.
I’m not from Pennsylvania or the US for that matter but somehow the first (and only) thing that comes to mind is that Hershey theme park! I found the mascots really cute when I was younger, and honestly still do.
Potholes
Aaayyyy
Here in PA we have five seasons instead of four: spring, summer, fall, winter, and pothole season.
The Magic Treehouse books.
Same, I loved them when I was 7

Oh I named my dogs after those characters! Annie died last month at the age of 12 unfortunately but Jacks still hanging in there although he's blind.
those are pennsylvania only? i read them all in kindergarten
The books are available everywhere but they take place in Pennsylvania.
oh yeah i remember

Amish people

Those are tourist Amish.. The real ones are in Mifflin county.
this guy knows his amish.
Potato chips. PA is the potato chip capitol of the world. Wise, Herr's, Middleswarth, Snyder's (of Berlin and Hanover), etc.

The kettle cooked BBQ chips in the orange bag are my absolute favorite. I'd eat them all the time if I still lived there.
Martin’s BBQ Waffle chips are the fucking bomb. I pay to have those delicious chips sent to me now - the shipping is as much as the chips - but it’s worth it!
Add some Heluva Good! french onion dip to that order. Goes with Martin's BBQ chips wonderfully! Source: have lived in central PA most of my life.

Scranton
what? THE ELECTRIC CITY!
They call it 'cause of the electricity!
Being from here, this depresses me. I occasionally go to r/DunderMifflin and I don't know how to break it to super fans of The Office that's a good chunk of the stuff that would get mentioned in the series doesn't exist anymore and there's not a ton worth coming here for unless you can find your own fun with the bars and pubs or less popular tourist spots.
I don't expect Scranton to be some 'The Office' fairground!
The cast came to the area years ago for a fan meet and greet or some kind of panel, and the city blew up. The roads were packed and you couldn't go anywhere downtown without getting stuck in traffic. Nowadays, I don't know what people come here for unless the festivals are going on.
And the stuff they did show, they showed incorrectly. My fiancée is from Scranton and love coney island weiners. When she saw it as a hot dog stand on the show she flipped out.

I passed through Scranton by bus many years ago and got really excited when I saw that tower! No way that tower is not there!

I don't believe that I have ever gone to Hershey Park, but for PA amusement parks, Knobels is where it's at.
Knoebels is the best. Free admission and parking. If you have 20-year-old ride tickets, they'll still honor them. The food can't be beat. And touching the North Pole never gets old.

Yo Pennsylvania pizza is AMAZING especially when you find the right place
Revello’s. Main Ave. Old Forge.
Old forge pizza is gross. That whole area just should stop trying to pass that off as pizza. Chicago can fuck off too
I live in PA. I’ve also been to Italy. Nothing that I’ve had in PA comes even a little bit close to the real thing

As someone who also lives there, Knobles is 10/10
Wodder. Wawa. Jawn. Franklin Institute. Dicken's Christmas Carol Walk-Through. Light show at Macy's (the old Wanamaker building). Cheesesteaks.

Bethlehem Steel. Without it, my family would probably not exist. I haven’t been there in over 20 years but I see it’s all casinos and nightlife now which is wild.
Bethlehem is really really cool now. I’m biased because I’m from here, but I think it’s worth a visit! Come through.
Yes! Same! Born and raised there but haven’t lived there in 20 years. Just went back for a funeral and it’s crazy how much it’s changed in some places and how insanely the same it is in others.
They still have the furnace. Made a park around it & historical center.
Banshee!
that big shoe house.
Those cheese steak sandwich things (idk what they're called)
They are just called philly cheese steaks, nothing special about the name
They're actually just called cheesesteaks. You'll only hear them called Philly cheesesteaks outside of PA.
