Philipsburg Pennsylvania Has The Longest Commute Times In USA

Despite being a small town of a few thousand people, the roads are so horribly laid out the average commute time here rivals places like New York City or Los Angeles. The confusion in the roads here has lead to high incomes for the locals who make a killin charging hourly rates just to drive a few blocks away. While the confusion has lead to inflation and high incomes some locals are faced with daunting issues going across the street for their groceries for example. The town’s population is shrinking as the residents are unable to deal with the commute time to good paying jobs just a few blocks away. The town recently closed a bridge, which was the only escape route to lost tourist going on road trips after visiting NYC. We tried to reach the towns mayor but he was stuck in a traffic jam. We ran into the most complicated road system of any town in USA. Local theory claims that the towns grid pattern is so confusing if an invading army were to enter the town, it would take them 2:30 hours to find their away to the downtown area, buying the locals enough time to be a few blocks away before the town could be taken. Other legends proclaim that the reason the roads are so confusing is to create good paying jobs for the locals. Whatever the reason, the town is confusing at best. A person that lives right outside of town claims that while jobs here pay better. She drives to nearby Toledo Ohio for a reduced commute time.

Philipsburg is bigger then you think. You just drove through town. Population isn’t declining. Most people buy a house here to commute to State College, because it’s too expensive to live in State College.

That's exactly what I tell people. Places like Philipsburg and Tyrone can really reinvent themselves and even thrive as bedroom communities for State College and the university with the right ideas and direction. I certainly wouldn't want the commute in the winter time up in those mountains, but in good weather and decent traffic you're 30 minutes from PSU if you're in either one of those towns. And you're right. Philipsburg isn't just "Philipsburg". You have Chester Hill, West Decatur, Southie, and a few other little towns in the area.

Traffic is bad because of the Semi’s traveling 322, to get on 80. Ugh! You’re funny but you don’t know the history or even where you’re going 😂

This is a sad little town. But there are people trying to bring it back to life. And surprisingly you drove up right behind the dental office I work at! I was listening to you ask where all the income comes from...out of town. The majority of people work in other towns. Penn State University employs tons of people. It's about a 30 min drive from Philipsburg. The one way roads are ridiculous too! Hahaha!

The people that grew up there know how to work hard, genuine kind, giving people. I promise you I moved out west and the people around me have no clue what it's like to shovel coal or cut wood to stay warm 9 months out of the year! there's something about Pennsylvania born people! you got to know to appreciate. I'm sad that you are making such fun of an amazing place filled with creeks, streams, truly God's country!!!! SMALL TOWN PROUD! By the way I think you might be missing a little something, a little something inside making this video and trying to shame the residents that are proud of that little town

The town was built on a whim & a lie. Grew up there. There’s a whole documentary on VHS on the town. The British who bought the land lied & told buyers it was plotted- it wasn’t. The said they had port access- they have shallow rivers no one ever ran a port boat down. The place should barely exist, but state college is so close by it became a commuter town eventually.

I was at the Nittany Minit Mart in Philipsburg one time years ago, and some old geezer there told me that the town was actually intended to be what Pittsburgh eventually became as a steel town. According to him, the reason it didn't come to fruition is because of the town being so isolated up in the mountains, and the lack of adequate railroad and water transportation.

Pastor David Wilkerson pastored a church here & went to New York to minister to the gangs. Led Nicky Cruz to salvation in Christ, founded Teen Challenge Centers & Times Square Church. Cross & the Switchblade movie tells the true story. It all started here. Good folks here in Phillipsburg made it possible thru their prayers.

I grew up around here. Born in Allport PA, Currently live in Osceola Mills, PA which is the Philipsburg school district. This guys review doesn’t amount to anything. He basically drove through and that was it. The town was founded way before roads and a lot of towns have one way streets. He should hit Clearfield or State College. The traffic is bad because of the Semi’s that drive through to get on 80. He did not look up the history of the town or visit any historical buildings. As for jobs there are jobs in Philipsburg. We have the industrial park, we have stores, businesses downtown, banks, Dr offices, Dental offices, Chiropractic offices, physical therapy, tattoo shops, beauty shops etc. The majority of work is in State College. But anyone can can do a review just driving through a town, but only a review worth watching is when you know the history, visit businesses and actually drive around Philipsburg, not just drive through it. I happen to love my town. I have many fond memories here growing up and raising my children.

Okay so, you start out on presque Isle Street coming from 322. I grew up in West Decatur and when I come back to visit I always walk up and down that street you start the video out on the old mud church is on your right something you should visit!!! I was born in 73 spent my whole life in that area now live in Prescott Arizona. Philipsburg Pennsylvania is a quaint town. Generations come from coal miners and loggers. My grandfather was a coal miner. When you stop at the first light to the right it used to be the Magistrate's office, I worked there to pay my second underage drinking fine off hahaha. The streets are small. People usually stay in that area for generations! 7200 the second light you come to is our front Street running the opposite direction. This is an older video they just took that bridge out that had been there since 1940!
