The unobstructed views on a Saturday afternoon in the Fall are unrivaled!

I know Steelers fans actually USE them (and cover them up) on Sundays, but those seats are horrible. Sorry.

my backyard.

An oasis of calm in a stormy world. Very nice.

Yep. That said, they're all moving to Lititz as soon as they can cash out.

 

[LionsAndBears]

I don't if anyone else does this but I purposely take a longer route to State College because the scenery is so much more relaxing. It's quicker to take 322 from Reading but I prefer 54 to Danville then out 80.

Rose Valley?

Pretty, but not it.

Cook Forest state park-

Rose Valley was man made, no?

Jim Thorpe is beautiful, but also overrun w/ tourists due to its proximity to the big cities. Good for business, but not if you want to be left alone.

NYC residents can't even find Wellsboro or Eagles Mere or Muncy or Lewisburg...

 

[TiogaLion]

Agree to a point. There are plenty of counter-images of both cities though (not to mention Harrisburg).

I look to north of I-80 in the middle of the state. 1/4 of the PA land and 4% of the population. Seems like a winning combination.

For those younger folks, this is what the mall looking at Pattee looked like in the early 80's

Thank goodness "they" cannot find God's Heaven-on-earth spots.

Honestly, any mountain range in Central PA during the Fall when the leaves are turning. Also, some of my favorite views are when you're looking down on a farm from above like the scene below from my home County of Berks.

PA is absolutely beautiful in the Fall.View attachment 619306

Hawk Mountain for instance..

Let's hope not. They sure found Jupiter though. Nothing against NYC, just crowds of tourists in general.

Is Wellsboro HS mascot still the Green Hornets? IIRC they were during my time at Canton (a LONG time ago).

Pretty sure it is. Beautiful area for sure.

Shout-out to the Northern Tier! Been too long since we've visited . . .

Yeah, my roommate was a horticulture major. We’d walk through the campus and he’d identify all the leaves and plants along the way. Such a nice memory.

East Venango street. Harrowgate section Philly. ca. 1950. Well maybe not beautiful, but at the time a great neighborhood.

Those Elm trees were just magnificent and beautiful. It so unfortunate that the Dutch Elm Disease took it's toll and just a few are left. It's my understanding that campus has at least one every type of plant, bush, and tree that will grow in State Colleges climate.

I can’t believe nobody said Old Main lawn on a warm spring day…and before anybody throws a flag, I don’t have pics. It was the 90’s and nobody carried phones.
