Global warming. Jersey Shore PA is now actually the Jersey Shore.

Yes, not a lot of people know of it. It happens to be the oldest hospital in Pennsylvania, and the 3rd oldest in the USA.

Headline writer is annoying; made me think this was about Pennsylvania Hospital rather than A Pennsylvania hospital.

If you're trying to buy a car as a daily driver at an auto auction, you're probably safer skipping the Philly city auctions and going to Carriage Trade in Conshohocken. Still a risky proposition. But I do know someone who got lucky there.

Reply to What are the best hoagie rolls/steak rolls to take to DC for a Super Bowl party? by normandy34
Plenty of people have mentioned the staples: Sarcone's, Liscio's, Amoroso's, Cacia's. One thing I can add as a tip: You can get Liscio's at P&S Ravioli spots, such as 1722 Oregon Ave.

Reply to Touching the Liberty Bell by z7q2
When it was in Independence Hall, it was just an ancillary exhibit (didn't have it's own building at the time). So it didn't have anyone constantly guarding it. And it was mead of an alloy of relatively soft metals. As a result, not only could you touch it, but many people used pen knives to shave off a souvenir from the bottom. You can clearly see how uneven the bottom is these days. This is the real reason you can't touch it as easily today; not the guy with the hammer who it it many years later in a different building. It was moved to it's own building on July 4th in the rain in 1976 (bicentennial). But this "space ship" building was later replaced with a better building.

Kinda true, but it was far more accessible when it was in Independence Hall (when I was a kid).

I'm not sure there's a better looking set of fire escape stairs anywhere in the US.

Reply to Potato Chips - What is your favorite brand and type (Regular/Kettle, etc)? by Speakslinux
I, sadly, haven't tried all the local Penna. brands. That said, I'm a "basic regular chip" lover, so my go-to is Herr's standard chips. I'm not a fan of kettle chips in general; don't like the thicker cut. And while I may occasionally enjoy a flavored chip, I feel ultimately the plain chip is the best. I need to try all of the local Penna. brands!
As it happens, after driving Route 1 past the Nottingham Penna. exit for many years and always wanting to take the plant tour, I finally did it last Monday. They don't run the tours on weekends, and some days not all things are in production, so scheduling is important. Fun tour, and unless something strange is going on, you'll get warm regular chips right off the production line as part of the tour!
