Well, as a Philadelphian, born and bred, they don't need your apology and really don't care if you like them or not. But yeah, I agree... something has to go and fix that city from the cesspool it has become.
@@ODDySEEy I have friends from Philly. They are fine folks.. What myself and the other person might be speaking to-substantial % of prison denizens all across the state are "Philly" So workers at said prisons see Philly as a problem.. I never worked at said prisons, but know people that have and it is what they have to say.. Just hoping to help ya see why people say it.
The odds of hitting a deer factoid threw me for a loop. 40 years living in NW NJ - 0 hits. 20 years in Central PA - 3. We have 3 small herds living around the 3 mile stretch of the road I live off.
When I researched it, I too was thrown for a loop. I have been driving for 35 years and have still been "lucky" to not connect my vehicle with these animals (that I see in the thousands annually on the side of the road when they are STILL ALIVE)
Great job Scott!!! I did know most of these, but it's always great to learn more about or state. Keep up the great work, I appreciate all your hard work!!!
I did know that William Pitt was never in the colonies/US. I have to ask, why did you pronounce Chatham with the "th?" I grew up in Chatham NJ and I've never heard it pronounced that way. My Amish ancestor came from Switzerland in 1754 and I will say, many of the descendants seemed more Mennonite than Old Order Amish, including my branch.
I SLIPPED... read it 4 times in scripting it and did it correctly each time... then SLIPPED... and said, "OH WELL"... (in my head, Gretchen is gonna call me out for this one). And well, HERE WE ARE. Love ya!
Great Video keep them coming. Other known facts about Pennsylvania the First Steam Railroad Engine in all of America ran in the town of Honesdale that ran on the first Railway line constructed August 8, 1829 a year later B&O line was constructed. Jim Thorpe a Famous athlete born in Oklahoma which later his body was bought by the towns people of Mauck Chunk and his corpse was buried at location in center of town of Mauck Chunk aka Jim Thorpe PA for many reasons most known reason is to Shine bright letting new people entering the town that Jim Thorpe is a Millionaires Town. Jim Thorpe aka Mauck Chunk is home to the Original Switchback Railroad line as well. PA is also home to the Oldest still standing American Concrete Kilns known as the Saylor Park Industrial Museum. Pennsylvania is so overlooked by so many people it isn't even funny at this point anymore.
Happy Loka Coka Coka Coka to you too! Another awesome video! Oldest human habitation site: Researchers are slowly admitting officially that humans were here long, long before the land bridge theory and came from China. Because they keep finding sites that date long before the model. And scientists are able to reproduce the carbon 14 results from these ancient sites. Researchers are now investigating new other ways humans came here to america. So the tide is turning slowly.
The wife asked why I laughed for no apparent reason when I read one of the facts. I told her, "Wait till the end and it will make sense". Thanks for watching all the way through, Dixiecup!
Pennsylvania has so much UNKNOWN buried history.... My father cultivated a garden for 40 years. I personally watched him remove a 100 plus year old tree & stump from center of 1/4 acre garden area at age 6... 40 years later as his garden slowly eroded DOWN hill. He would wheel Barrel'd it back up hill. After a decade of tilling and removing rocks and toting dirt UP hill... He finds a tractor tire INSIDE this garden. His "village" has maybe 100 inhabitants & 10x's the grave sites. It HAD an airport, race track, hotel, car dealership &&&& NOW no commercial business whatsoever.
So funny that Frick was as much a baron as the railroaders and other industry tycoons... but is written off in history as a second class citizen at best.
Would be neat to see what people claimed to be in the German and Austrian area's of the time. Most people don't realize that Germany didn't exist until 1871.
I know where, according to the Forbes expedition papers, the first 2 white men were killed in what would become Somerset County. Its along a small tributary of the Stonycreek in Quemahoning twp. Close to Shade twp. Two of Forbes advance scouts were along the creek and were attacked and killed. At least that's as far as what was recorded in the journal of the expedition
Thanks!
LOVE YA LisaZ and Fam!!! Thanks You.
@@ODDySEEy You're welcome!
In my part of PA, we call fireflies lightening bugs.
Yeah, in this part too... but apparently there are a lot of weirdo's out there. ;)
Yup and diabetes was called the sugar, grandmas got the sugar 😊
As a Pennsylvanian, I apologize to the rest of the world for Philly. We dont like them either.
Yes, we have disdain for Philly. They are so very pompous when they say water.... "wuter"

How about doing a video about the Yankee Pennamite War and the land dispute over the Wyoming Valley with Connecticut?
Shoo fly pie is it!
I knew that!
Cool facts ! Looking forward to part 3,,,,
Maybe a part 3 (most likely) but I kinda burned through a LOT of the good ones.
Enjoyed the video and facts on PA! My 8th great grandfather was one of the first Amish settlers in America.
Mine too! Jacob Hochstetler
I find old families interesting. I am only second gen Irish/German... so when I hear someone has 4-8 or more generations in the US, I am mind blown.
@@ODDySEEy yep. 9/16/1736 on that side!
Scrapple is popular 😅
Scrapple is a dish for the Kings and Queens of Pennsylvania. LOVE Scrapple!!!
Cool facts! would love to see something on the Adam T. Bower Memorial Dam (Sunbury Fabri-dam) , Lake Augusta, Shikellamy State Park areas.
On the list for future.
Great job Scott!!! I did know most of these, but it's always great to learn more about or state. Keep up the great work, I appreciate all your hard work!!!
We do have a ton of crazy and off the wall fun facts.

@@ODDySEEy It's all good! We had discussed Matthias, so I thought maybe you knew something I didn't this time too lol.
The state flower 'traffic cone'.....lol
PA was the site of the shortest marriage in the US.
I only learned about that when that youtuber in London actually did a stunt to be married and divorced faster than anyone else in the world.
@@ODDySEEy It would have to be less than 5 minutes. The groom died at the altar.
@@JJinPhila In March 2023, British RUclipsr Max Vash married a fan in London's streets for 2 minutes and 56 seconds.
I shared with a stranger last week, your channel, hes pumped..
Thank you for sharing me out :D

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and videos..best!!

I love this by the way. Glad you made a second one. There shall be a third !
Maybe a third... we'll see.
Thé official Pennsylvania Historian should be…Scott!
Aww, shucks. Makin me blush.

Yup... and I am uncovering that history a little bit at a time.
I grew up in johnsonburg pa elk county during world war 2 johnsonburg had the most men per capita to enter the service
THAT is a neat fact.
Great video Scott! I’m a Pennsylvania creator. I really enjoyed this one! Just hit that subscribe button :)!
Old Overholt was produced by the family steel baron Henry Clay Frick.
So funny that Frick was as much a baron as the railroaders and other industry tycoons... but is written off in history as a second class citizen at best.
@@ODDySEEy He never played the philanthropist. He also set his children in competition with each other, so one was too willing to burnish the name.
You are the the Poet laureate of PA IMHO Thank you
Thanks for the kind words.
You can tell you live in Huntingdon County...THEY ARE GOBS NOT WHOOPIE PIES!!!
Sorry, I don't speak Pittsburgease... YOU'S Guys will just have to deal with it. Now to go drink some SODA.

👍enjoyed.
Figures Philadelphia 😡😠🤬
Thanks for sharing 👍🙂🙏
Philly keeps it Classy and REAL. LOL
My Mennonite ancestors came to Pennsylvania in 1717. They were Swiss German.
Would be neat to see what people claimed to be in the German and Austrian area's of the time. Most people don't realize that Germany didn't exist until 1871.
Wooohooo I’m here !
You were late :P
I live in Philadelphia and i despise it
I go out in 2004. Good luck and be safe. I know it has gotten really bad in the past 4 years.
It's called a GOB prove me wrong!
PA Westerners with their weird language and accents.
At least we don't pronounce water as wooder! 🤣@@ODDySEEy
Which sounds right: "throw me down the stairs, my pants". or "throw my pants down the stairs". 🤔
I'm not above going to a cafe in Pittsburgh and asking for Hunts Catsup either...
