Flying into Philly on New years and no one is going to recommend the parade? Feel like that’s a must see depending on arrival time.

I frequently go to state college area from Philly as long as you have 12-18 hours from the time it stops snowing you should okay for driving to whatever you want to go to.

I agree they aren’t going to the polls to spite Philly residents which was my original point. Sadly yes there is an impressive track record of rural politicians making choices that negatively impact the city, but in general the people in those rural areas aren’t voting for them because of that. Anyways go vote and donate to reasonable candidates in rural areas if you want to see change.

I don’t contest this in fact I agree with you but do you think the people choosing to do that thought “well maybe Philly will pay for it?” It seems a bit disingenuous to assume malicious intent. The people making those decisions probably thought “we need to cut budget, where can we do it?”

I think it’s a bit unfair to blame rural PA voters for the problems in Philly. They could never appreciate the nuance that certain laws/regulations that work for them won’t work for a city. Also no one in rural PA cares about Philly. They care about issues in their tiny towns and getting in fights on Facebook about pipelines.
