Williamsport, PA! Born and raised. Home of Little League Baseball and the Little League World Series.

Not only is the world's oldest rollercoaster in PA, it is also home to the very first rollercoaster to appear in America. In 1873, the gravity-driven Switchback Railroad of Mauch Chunk, now Jim Thorpe, re-fitted its coal cars to carry people. Until its closure in 1929, passengers were regularly terrified out of their wits when the engineer let off the brake to reach downhill speeds of 60 MPH. For many years, it was said that a nurse was always stationed at the bottom of the run with smelling salts to revive overwhelmed Victorian women. Enterprising young residents hiked the rails daily, and thus began a suspicious boom in the second-hand hat trade. You can still hike much of this beautiful trail today!

I learned more about my own state in this 27 minute video then I did the whole time I was in school growing up! I think it would be smart for teachers to assign students homework of watching certain youtube videos, I know kids would love that lol. Idk about how y'all are but I learn so much better watching interesting videos then sitting in class listening to a boring teacher talk.

I kinda forgot you existed, i haven't watched 1 of your vids in ages

I love watching a British guy who doesn’t know anything about Pennsylvania talk about my home state

Lancaster, Pennsylvania is pronounced Lan-kis-ter apparently.

Pennsylvania resident checking in! GREAT video. Very informative. I've lived in PA my entire life and you taught me something I didn't even know! Lol. Thanks again for giving us a shout out! 💙💙

As someone who lives in the Johnstown area we could really use some of that flood tax money 😂

I live in North Huntingdon. I legit shouted in excitement when I heard it mentioned.

Why did you choose such a dark picture of Pittsburgh? It’s a beautiful city and there are hundreds of photos showing its beauty! Bah!

Surprised he didn’t mention the Johnstown Flood of 1977. That one actually effected my mom

proud to be a Pennsylvanian! edit 1: still proud!

I grew up in Massachusetts and moved to Pennsylvania when I was 16 and very quickly learned a lot about it. Before moving here, my image of Pennsylvania was Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, some old rust belt manufacturing towns, State College/Penn State, Hershey's chocolate, and a bunch of Amish farmland in between. I'm learning just how much there is to this state that I never would have imagined. So many small towns nestled in forests, mountains with a great view, and so many state parks. It's a lot more like Massachusetts than I imagined. There are also some towns that are really oddly designed, and I mean that in the best way possible. Like one town called Huntington the downtown on three sides is surrounded by woods, but from the fourth side grows out the neighborhoods like a cornucopia. I have to wonder who designed these towns. I'd like to tell them I think the weird layouts look really cool.

I live in PA 56 of these are wrong Find them

Ha. My home state. That's what's up. I already know most of these facts.

Yes, I live in PA. In a borough, not a town. I was born here, but moved away at age 18. Came back and went to Mansfield University of Pennsylvania at age 26. Graduated at age 30. Moved out again. And came back at age 38. I guess I’ll stay here now. I’m too old to live that bohemian life anymore. My mom calls me and my brothers Gypsies, because we’re always moving around.

You consistently referred to Pennsylvania as a "state" throughout the video when in fact, Pennsylvania is a commonwealth...

I would love to see one of these about North Carolina.

Oh Pennsylvania, my home state which is somethin else

I've been to Pennsylvania a few times, and it's always a lot of fun. Falling Waters is lovely to visit, and Hershey Park has a fun museum and theme park dedicated to chocolate (I visited in seventh grade, and the sweatshirt I bought there still fits!). I gotta get out to Philly though, I had no idea it was so haunted!

Hershey PA checking in. Love this state. Born and raised. I don't get why it gets shit on so much. PA has Enough facts to do another 101. Hope this does well enough to do so.

So yes I live in Pennsylvania and went to Slippery Rock University in the Borough of Slippery Rock next to the Slippery Rock Creek.

More facts (at least fun to me) are missing. Lord's Valley, Dingmans Ferry, Blooming Grove, & Hawley are some of the names used for where I lived 🤣 Stroudsburg had a pretty big flood 10+ years ago. Bushkill Falls & Pocono Mountains were big tourists spots. That area was also where many NY & NJ rich ppl had summer homes. Breaking Benjamin is from Wilkes-Barre, PA is right next to Scranton. The now gone Bethlehem Steel building was where Transformers: The Revenge of the Fallen was filmed at before it was destroyed. Eastern State Pen in Philadelphia, PA is the East Coast version of Alcatraz & is used for historic tours year round but during the Halloween season it also becomes a haunted attraction.

Allentown represent 😂

As someone mentioned, Hershey Foods was founded in and remains in Hershey PA, about a 10 minute drive from Harrisburg. And the Leap the Dips coaster is at Lakemont Park, in Altoona PA. It is 100+ years old and while not fast, it's scary. Unfortunately all ride at Lakemont are closed this year and will probably be moving forward until a weathly benefactor (eh um, talking to you HERCO) steps in. Lakemont cannot afford the insurance coverage. Until someone can, the Leap the Dips will just sit there and rot away........alas

One thing Pennsylvania is famous for is Railroads since many companies were headquartered and had dozens of miles of tracks running throughout the state.

I grew up just down the road from Kennett Square PA in a town called West Grove. It smelled like fertilizer that was used for the mushrooms all throughout the year.

Hello from PA! I'm from the wyoming valley in NEPA but attend school in Pittsburgh. I am surprised when he mentioned Centralia that he didn't mention the Knox Mine disaster! It might not have been huge for the world, but it was what awoken people outside of the mining community to the companies only caring about money. The higher ups in the company that owned Knox had the miners mining under the Susquehanna River and made them mine too close to the river bed for coal. In turn, the river collapsed in and flooded 5 (I believe) mines along the river. It was really bad, though a really cool video can be found on youtube of train cars being dumped into the river to try to plug the hole that had caused a whirlpool.

Can you make a video about Chicago, IL plz

PA might be the best state known to man, I'm grateful I live here
