Has Atlantic Broadband for years. When we switched from DSL I bought a router and modem from the approved list instead of renting from the company. Tech showed up on a day I couldn't be there so a less tech savvy member of the household handled it. Tech went to install new modem, opened the box then realized modem wouldn't work since we went VOIP for landline. So now I had an "open box" modem that I they wouldn't let me use nor could I return. Price per month 50 Mbps down + landline, was $75 for first year, $120 for year two and then $159 for anything beyond that. Steep but service rarely went down.

About year 2.5 Atlantic Broadband gets bought out by Breezeline. Start getting charged for paper statement ($1, 4 months in $2). Base charge hiked up to $178 per month. Quality of service is less as the network drops out 2-3 times a week. Most times it's quick (under 5 mins). Speed is slower most of the time down to 40-45 Mbps.

Called and dropped the landline and magically all the rates have changed. I'm now paying $45 for 100 Mbps ( best I've seen is 75) for 3 months then the price hikes to $90.

I've looked into T-Mobile ( only metered plan, no unlimited data yet) a local wireless ( no line of sight to their towers) and Comcast isn't available here yet. Constantly getting spammed on streaming for Comcast, T-Mobile and Breezeline. I'd jump ship in a hot minute if there was anything else to go to.

I'd be in my own time zone of perpetually confused as I end up crossing that line every day for work.

If I had to pick, Pittsburgh because screw Jersey.

Suck rolls downhill. If the bosses have to come in, the chain of command will follow. Downtown Harrisburg seems to need the influx of state workers to survive in the long term.

The part that got me was the legislative folks had a $500 limit. The standard commonwealth employee under Wolf couldn't accept a bottle of water, pen or a calendar.

Now tell me, who has more power in the state system. The folks who vote on how the laws are made or the guy sweeping the floor?

The rules were adjusted, Wolf had an outright ban. Shapiro changed the rules so small gifts (<$25) can now be accepted.

The closest hotels are in Coudersport up rt 44. Millstream or Westgate. There are no chain hotels up there. I'm not sure if Sweden Valley will be open or not. I want to say there was a B&B up there...Frosty Hollow or something like that, it's pretty close along Rt44.

The end of March will still be cold up there so bring your "winter" gear.

Well Blue Knob is barely a village. A place like Bedford has amenities but isn't too far away.

The Laurel Highlands ( Somerset) would be less amenities but more wild. Depends on what you're looking for.

State College gets you the most culture but your going to pay for it.

I can't speak for the northeast areas because while I've passed through but I haven't lived there.

From Tyrone it's the Bald Eagle railroad up to Julian, which continues up in a northeasterly direction. There isn't a good spot to cross the mountain with a rail line till Bellefonte.

Also as the previous poster said , Norfolk Southern owns the line, Amtrak just gets a chance to use it. That's why freight gets priority over people and there is only 1 passenger train a day. Compare that with easy of Harrisburg where Amtrak owns the line and there is a commuter train into Harrisburg and out of Harrisburg every day.

Oh come on it didn't rain today....it was too cold

Counterpoint, skip Dillsburg through Enola

If you like that one then maybe suggest taking RT 15 north out of Williamsport. Should be "the future I-99 corridor". Well at least once PennDot gets a high speed interchange figured out on and off of I-80.

Conservation and preservation are different. The bulk of the state forest system conserves and utilize through ethical harvesting. Preservation is not touching the trees and keeping it just as natural process of succession plays out.

Nature is rarely static.

Just try not to hit the hay wagon as I sneak across 22 when you pass through. Other than that enjoy your time on the back roads exploring life off the expressway.

Rt 30, Rt 22, I-80, Rt 6 sounds like your east west ones. You're going to have to do some north south detours to pick all the counties up.

Was told it was a Stryker.

Not sure what part of the state you're in but this group gets people in fast and has no insurance options.

Literally had a 3-4 month wait for the hospital , these folks did it the next evening.

I refuse to pledge my allegiance until you tell me what color it comes out.

Print it out. Never know when the app craps out on you or you are in a dead zone.

Exactly, make sure you get your situation resolved before the angry mob gets the pitch forks and torches out.

Once you're in the clear, then declare open season.

Depending on when you go up next week it could be (arguably) one of the busiest hunting days of the year. So increased traffic and the potential for animals to be running about.

Take printed directions/ a map , be prepared for cold and drive some type of vehicle with a some ground clearance.

So about 5 years ago I internally was the only candidate who applied for an IT job. Only person interviewed. Still took HR about a month and a half to spit out that I was qualified so my boss could offer me the job.

Fun part was when the position was vacant I was doing the job "to keep everything moving". The powers that be don't pay you both salaries.

All of that was when the HR system was internal to the agency. With the consolidated system now I would guess that efficiency has went down.

Cue up the Starship Troopers line

"I'm doing my part".

I've got three tags, anything more I'd have to get another freezer.

Judging by the millions of dollars that the turnpike is owed by people skipping payments I'd say the law of averages is on your side with this one.

I sat through a presentation about 12 years or so ago. Still own the T-shirt
