Central Pennsylvania

What I’ve learned during my short time in Central Pennsylvania is that outsiders talk about “Pennsylvania” like it’s simply one state. But if you’re from central Pennsylvania, you know that there’s two Pennsylvanias: the center and the cities (Philadelphia and Pittsburgh). There’s a world of difference between the two bookend cities and the rest of the commonwealth. Different industries; different demographics; different politics. While traveling the backroads, it was fun to explore so many small towns and the countryside in-between them.
