Getting across Pennsylvania

Sep. 18, 2003: I wanted to get to New England as quickly as possible, because I'd dawdled a bit in the towns in Illinois and elsewhere. On the way out of Bedford, I briefly stopped at the Tourist Bureau, but they were a bit parochial and didn't really have anything of interest. The Whisky Rebellion taking place there seemed to be the most well-known attraction. I briefly stopped outside Harrisburg. I passed the Hershey Highway. I'll leave that to prop comics, I'm much higher-brow. I passed the Mike Piazza International Birthplace Shrine. Then, I briefly stopped in Wilkes-Barre and watched the local cops investigate a punching incident. W-B has a Hummer dealership, so someone's doing OK. But, it looked like a bit of a dump, and the three-block-long downtown section wasn't of interest. On to NY, where I stopped at the helpful Tourist Bureau just over the border and south of Binghampton on the 81. On to Albany, passing by the National Soccer Hall of Fame in Oneonta. No communism for me, thanks.
