PA is weirdly high.
Man that is another state that is full of wonderful nuggets. Philly is chock full of American Independence history. Pittsburgh has cleaned up a lot and is beautiful there by 3 rivers. People love the Eagles and Steelers. Carnegie Mellon and Penn St are powerhouses. Sesame Place, Hershey Park, 6 flags. Tough parts of the AT go through PA. Turnpike has decent rest stops. Strong Union presence. Decent railroads. Erie is a cool little town by the lake with that Isle right there.
And then all in the middle of the state you basically have a carbon copy of wild n wonderful West Virginia. What’s not to like?
To answer your main question, "pennsatucky" and the fact that the roads are badly maintained once you cross the border over from a neighboring state.
But you're right about the good parts. Also, Pennsylvania dutch!
