I have had the crappy funnel cake down here in Florida - they either had it frozen or it was baked - either way it was dry and crappy. You have to cook it in pure lard for it to be really good- that's why I think the heart attack rate in PA is twice that of other states!!!

What's great about PA?
Well, starting with Philly:
SOFT PRETZYLS!!!
CHEESECAKE!!!
KRIMPETS!!!
and other Tastee Cakes
the Philly Zoo
the Keebler Factory (with all those elves inside)
My bestest aunts in the whole world live there
AND, I was born there.
(but I always thank God I grew up in South Carolina. And it's really His fault, because my dad was sent there as a minister!)
As for the rest of PA,
got to agree with Hershey and Gettysburg as being pretty great
and Doylestown, Pa., is pretty cool too.

After Manhattan, anything is a vacation...except maybe Boise.

I thought of this thread this weekend. My friend works on an army base, and we went out with a bunch of the army guys. I met one of the nicest guys i've met in years and you geussed it........he's from PA. What a sweety, I'd just like to say hats off to you PA for raising some gentlemen! Something New England seems to be lacking in my generation. So YAY PA!

Another great thing about PA.
Forty brave Americans picked that spot to defy Al Qaida terrorists.

I watched the Discovery Channel documentary on Flight 93 last night.....after seeing the way the folks in Shanksville, PA have embraced the families of the heroes on that flight.....SHANKSVILLE, PA is a wonderful example of the state....
