Reply to The now mostly-defunct Pathmark chain briefly had a Central Pennsylvania presence. This 1987 screengrab from a Harrisburg Patriot-News/PennLive video shows the Pathmark location in Lower Paxton Township. This location closed sometime in the early 90s.

I just saw a PathMark truck yesterday. Are they still around? Biggest memory for me is their no frills brand. Classic pure white box with generic labeling on it.

>Those are there to make sure your vehicle isn’t a death trap that will kill other people on the road.

Yeah, because why should all the potholes and backward traffic patterns have all the fun?

But in seriousness, I'm less upset about maintenance automotive checks; it's just that it's compounded with a bunch of nonsense.

My family used to shop at the one in Warminster, Bucks County. 90's sounds about right for when it disappeared here as well.

Definitely depends on which part of central PA. I've lived in Harrisburg for years and oh boy... is that BUSY BODY CENTRAL. It's pretty much everyone's hobby to be in everyone's business. Now I live in Lancaster and folks tend to stick to themselves. I don't even know half my neighbors and I'm totally fine with that. It's ironic though, because I've also lived in the subrubs of Philly and people kept to themselves there as well. I think Harrisburg is just such a boring city that getting into people's business and being nosy is the only excitement they have.

Thank God for Mississippi

>"Thank God for Mississippi" is an adage used in the United States, particularly in the South, that is generally used when discussing rankings of U.S. states. Since the U.S. state of Mississippi commonly ranks at or near the bottom of such rankings, residents of other states also ranking near the bottom may say, "Thank God for Mississippi", since the presence of that state in 50th place spares them the shame of being ranked last. Examples include rankings of educational achievement, business opportunities, obesity rates, overall health, the poverty rate, life expectancy, or other criteria of the quality of life or government in the 50 states.

"Gulls come to Pennsylvania because it's convenient,” writes Joe Kosack, a Wildlife Conservation Education Specialist with the Pennsylvania Game Commission, “and because it has rivers that are loaded with small aquatic critters they eat readily, hundreds of restaurants that serve fast food indirectly to gulls, and ..."
