I should clarify that I sort of hate amusement parks in general.
I have heart problems so can't really risk going on rollercoasters or anything else that's "high octane". I like the zoo component which I remember it having though.
Also they had a chip stand and the chips from there were good, but all in all I was mostly bored that day.
if you live in the city and can thus visit the beautiful countryside at will, sure, if you live in the country and find it hard to escape from, fuck no.
also god help you if you live anywhere near the Amish communities.
i don't like amusement parks or water rides or pools or anything. if i am not taking a walk, going to the library or a museum or going shopping i don't like leaving the house.
What Mojave and Odradek said is pretty accurate. Philadelphia is cool but some parts are flat-out scary; the countryside can be nice but it's not much fun to live in; and the suburbs range from convenient and somewhat boring to just awful.
But that's just the East. The West is a somewhat different kettle of fish.

i would like to go to to the Guggenheim someday.
I like swimming, but otherwise I can sympathise.
The Guggenheim is pretty cool. Wish I'd spent more time there...
I have been to a museum only once. I saw an exhibit on Thomas Chimes at the Philadelphia Art Museum when I was in sixth grade, his work has stuck with me in some ways.

You should go there on the first Sunday of the month sometime, seeing as it's free then. It's a great place to go.
Yeah, there are some really hickish, freaky areas in south-central Pennsylvania. Anywhere east of Reading to State College, really; the former city used to have one of the highest KKK populations in the country back in the day.
did i ever tell yall that my mom worked (or interned? idk) at the U.N. at one point?
That's cool. A relative of mine (I want to say a great-uncle, but my family tree is large and after awhile such distinctions become meaningless) briefly did too, though I don't know in what capacity.

Used to? I wouldn't be surprised if it still does.
Carbon County (where I live) is one of the worst areas in the country about incidental racism, but Reading and the surrounding area are just fucking scary.

Markov chain text generation [LAUGH] IS FUNny because it allows for the only honest expression of freebasing stream of consciousness abailabe to horses around the TWEETER Yes
also that untitled Trisha Donnelly installation there is one of the few pieces of art i've ever seen in person that i have been utterly incapable of deciphering.
most of the suburbs in PA (at least in the Lehigh-Carbon area) tend to be confusingly planned with lots of long, winding sidewalks that don't go anywhere in particular, and they also tend to lack any particular commercial buildings, making going anywhere on foot a pain in the ass.

Yeah, it's not as bad now, but that's not saying too much given that my mom's family used to go up there to buy stuff for their farm at Zurn's and used to see people with Nazi flags on open display.

it's just so ?????
so what?
so "two sphinxes with pillows and lamps tied to their heads"

that still happens, honestly.
it's a combination of the demographics down there (mostly German- and Austrian- descended folks) and a sense that it's one of the last pieces of "real America" down there. I know people who have family down there and have been down there myself a few times personally, it's frightening.
the small town of Ole on the other hand, is one of the few genuine examples of a nice, friendly rural area I've ever encountered in my entire life. There's a very old nontraditionalist Catholic church down there that used to be a great place to go to. It's one of only eight buildings in the town.

no.
I've been to Hershey Park but that place isn't great.
(also Dorney, which is barely worth a mention)

honestly the only time I liked to be wet is when I'm relaxing (don't take that out of context).
Thus, I am all for lounging at a pool, but waterslides don't much interest me.
Hershey Park was boring as hell, as previously indicated
The main thing I noticed about It's A Small World as an adult is how much, well, smaller it looked.
Assassin poems, Poems that shoot
guns. Poems that wrestle cops into alleys
and take their weapons leaving them dead
the Northernlion Live Super Show has spawned some very strange in-jokes in its lifetime.
oh you rascalthey aren't rumors
pretty much anywhere out here that isn't Allentown, Jim Thorpe, Lancaster, or some other large city is really rednecky.
I've been meaning to watch it, since I've been looking for a decent Myst LP.

I never understood the suburb hate, though
