The Highways and Byways of Pennsylvania. You made me do it.

State College and Syracuse are about the same distance from Brooklyn. State College may actually be a few miles closer.

Ahh - but the hellscape of driving through Pennsylvania should not be discounted

Yep. That was my point.

Especially considering that a decent chunk of the ride will be well off the Interstate grid. Lots of rocks and trees.

Edit: Even if the distance in miles is about the same...the actual clock hours in windshield time would be significantly longer to Ped State.

Well ya...You have the never ending Penn highway construction to deal with. Death, taxes and Pennsylvania highway construction.

 

[CA Monk]

Yup. The Traffic Cone is the state flower.

I drove to Pittsburgh once. 7 hours of cows. At least at the end of the trip you get to go through the Fort Pitt Tunnel and find a cool, little city on the other side. Imagine 7 hours of cows and ending up in the Village Of The Damned, I mean Happy Valley. Awful.

Like Storrs but more remote.

You are on the money Lemoyne Cuse

According to Google maps the difference is 7 min. However, that does not take into consideration the god awful PennDot

Well, if they ever were to finish, then they'd be out of work!

You Have a Friend in Pennsylvania...and he's currently stuck in construction traffic just outside of Scranton.

It's been a 40 year construction project around Scranton.

And that's no lie

 

[baggerbob]

And that's no lie

And you never see anyone working, just barricades, and machinery

 

[City of Cuse]

As much as I'd like to pile on, lock haven and Williamsport are actually pretty nice little areas. They are a little out of the way on the trip to nyc, but williamsport especially is worth the visit. All the shale money fixed that place up and it is a cool little area.

Scranton needs reconstructing.

Honestly. There are VAST stretches of highway in PA where the only indication of construction are signs that say "construction"...and absolutely nothing else. I have been ticketed a couple times down there for speeding through a "construction" zone

 

[PAcuse]

We can all agree the PA highway system sucks (don't get me started on bridges)
Let's get back to Isaac as I'm getting anxiety each time I open this thread lol

And they’re just getting started.

Blessed are those who expect nothing, for they shall never be disappointed.

We used to hit that driving from Liverpool to my aunt's house in Maryland every year when I was growing up. Last year, we did that drive for probably the first time in 30 years and still hit that Scranton construction. Unbelievable!

If we don’t get back onto Isaac and off the turnpikes of Pennsylvania I’m going to experience road rage.

We can’t get off the turnpikes of Pennsylvania, there’s too much construction.

Ba-dum tsshh. I’m here all week. Try the veal.
