Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania was a very pretty state to visit, it was cool and it rained quite often while we were there, with the break down and all and loads in and out was about 10 days we were in the area, we got as far as the New York border but didn't get in NY. Couple of observations, first EVERYONE is rude, they smoke every where, restaurants, while they are working, stores, truck stops, at the Freightliner dealer, the dude was smoking when he brought paper work to put in our truck. We stopped to have dinner at the Bandit truck stop in Harrisburg and this truck pulled in next to us and he rolled down his window and dumped his ashtray out the window! Now the second observation, they like using ville, town and burg behind the city names. Take an ordinary name or word, say 'friends', then you'd have either 'friendsville', 'friendstown', 'friendsburg', 'weirsville', 'weirstown', 'weirsburg', also they are not cities they are townships. Just imagine if Pittsburgh woulda been Pittsville?
