When I re-counted, I think I actually pumped out about 42 facts in total. I just can't help it. Tangential thoughts and facts spewing all over the place. I am a mess.
Great Job as usual Scott. I do love our state. We have a long history of good, bad, interesting and weird things. I also love that we have all 4 seasons as well. I appreciate all your hard work, keep up the Great Work!!!!
*bow* Thank you kindly. The base is, we have history, so there is no need to tell a STORY or an INTERPRETIVE of the history. Just tell ALL the history and the story of who we once were WILL come out and shine.
Jim, you must be a comedian on the side. The way you tossed out the foody funny and then the destination with a circle back to it being a long trip followed with a tie back to my video. Damn, you are GOOD sir. BTW, just take 322 and it won't cost you anything but time and distance.
I'm just glad you get the humor! It kills the sarcasm, or irony of any joke if you need to explain! you sir, need no explanation! kudos to you! I really do need to check it out though!@@ODDySEEy
I live in Bethlehem PA. I hope Coplay cement company is in here and Thomas iron works. Coplay cement was first Portland cement co. In USA and Thomas iron works was the first to utilize Coal fired kilns instead of charcoal fired. The atlas cement corp sent cement mix to the Panama canal. And 1 of the Lehigh valley cement companies plant 4 and 5 and 7 sent Portland cement to Washington DC for building monuments. Also Lehigh coal and navigation companys canal from carbon county to philly. I livr in Bethlehem but went to Northampton and am a proud KonKrete Kid. Look up Lehigh valley. I love PA.
Great video keep it coming got some facts myself I researched over the last 2 years First movie theater in the United States was named Nickelodeon located in Pittsburg PA, Shankweiler's Drive-In Theatre is the oldest in all the United States and Still active to this day originally opened in 1934, Bubble Gum was invented in Philidelphia as well as the first Gas Station. Most noted "Bethlehem Steel" built more things used by citizens and structures that still stand to this day some few mentions The Golden Gate Bridge as well as Hoover Dam, 92% of all the skyscrapers in Chicago and NYC and speak of NYC most famous building of all the Chrystler building all Built by Bethlehem Steel. Oldest Roller Coaster in the US known as Leap-The-Dips 1902 Altoona PA still active. Fun Fact for you the first Pennsylvania Dutch Amish settlers that came to United States lived in Allentown PA before moving to Lancaster County or heading out to Ohio as Allentown has a lot of groundwork doings with the Amish still around and active to this day. The Liberty Bell was hidden in a Church basement at 622 West Hamilton Street in Allentown as well played a central role inspiring the American Revolution, General George Washington and his Continental Army staff stayed in Allentown for weeks at a time as the War progressed.
The only argument we can have about PA back in the day is that it WAS THE BIGGEST of ALL the colonial economies and US economy when they found COAL and IRON up to the end of using COAL and IRON. Which is quite the span of history in the US. Then it all just went away and became a Wilderness Vacation State with two cities that are grinding its financial and societal well being into oblivion.
Of course, I'll have to watch this video many times..lol..u know what might be a cool video scott, after watching this video, maybe u could make a video about Case knives, and Zippo lighters??..that would cool i think
I have Zippo/Case on my list. That will come with a trip to the museum and maybe hitting the Drake Well, etc. It is just one of those sites that sits all by itself in the middle of nowhere. Kinda like Corning or Woolworths. And my word, the Philly stuff I had planned on doing for this season is just waiting to burst out... but going into the city of brotha'ly luv is just a totally unsafe trip to make. (and that is coming from someone who live 3/4 of his life IN the city)
That is one of those really cool things about PA. You have history that goes all the way back to even BEFORE the LeneLenape/Susquehannocks/OhioValley Natives they you pass on a regular basis and have NO IDEA that it is even there, right in front of you. PA is great.
1k views and about 3 people know what you mean. But hey, neighborhood pride is a good thing. (although, I don't mention my Philly hood because it was actually a bad place)
@@ODDySEEy Agreed - I was tossing a joke out there as EVERY one is called one if only the simpliest truth laid bare. On #25 you told truth few know about. GREAT work on ALL your extensive videos.
Fortunately, when he turned 10 his family dipped out of PA due to bankruptcy and moved in with family down in the ghetto of Clayton, Delaware. Meaning, he grew up in Delaware, not PA. So I will NOT be including the worst president, but will eventually do a video on the NOW 2nd worst president Buchannan at some point. IF, I can keep my political beliefs OUT of the script. (so far I have written 5 scripts for Buchannan... all trashed because I got political... no worries, I will work through it and give him what he deserves, historically)
@@ODDySEEy Yes, it's very challenging to write about politicians without being political. I was being some what sarcastic with my question; another challenge trying to write comments without having auto text/auto correct change what you want to write.
Loved it! I can't wait to hear the next list! BTW, I was thinking your last item about a MASONry building should have been #33 🤣🤣🤣
When I re-counted, I think I actually pumped out about 42 facts in total. I just can't help it. Tangential thoughts and facts spewing all over the place. I am a mess.
My brain is spinning from all these cool facts. I will be watching this episode several times to grasp each fact. Awesome show Scott 👍👍
Just think... that is only 30. There is sooooo much more.
@@ODDySEEy more facts please, that was awesome 👍
Well done sir. You never disappoint. My boss is a rock hound and told me about our shared landscape with Scotland. Looking forward to more!!
Wanna hear something crazy... all these facts and so much more whirlwind through my head when I go outside and visit locations.
Just loved the video!
Great Job as usual Scott. I do love our state. We have a long history of good, bad, interesting and weird things. I also love that we have all 4 seasons as well. I appreciate all your hard work, keep up the Great Work!!!!
In my first video I identified that fact. I love Pennsylvania because we have all 4 seasons and they all last exactly 3 months each. PERFECTION.
Another banger, great work Scott! Keep em rollin!
Another one in the works
Fascinating video!!! Can’t wait for more!!
Yay! Thank you!

Thanks for watching Vishiaeq
I enjoy your channel. I think I am starting to understand your approach. I enjoy your intellect.
*bow* Thank you kindly. The base is, we have history, so there is no need to tell a STORY or an INTERPRETIVE of the history. Just tell ALL the history and the story of who we once were WILL come out and shine.
Great vid!
Thanks for watching and commenting twice.
Very cool PA facts. Most of which I was unaware of. Thanks Scott
We all know the big ones, but they get boring, so I figured I would shake up and fill in the spaces of our history gaps from school teachings.
Wow,wow,and wow. Learned so many new things about our state👍.
Especially enjoyed the stogie 😮
Thanks for sharing. Can't wait till the next one!
Glad you enjoyed it. Lots of fun stuff about PA.
We need more please
LOL... All in due time. I can't give up all the great video idea's in one fell swoop. Gotta save them to make them taste better with time.
Great job ! Thank you
This was another fun one.
No typical pierogi or cookie table facts!! I love it! May have to check out the book store one day, got to save up for the tolls……. lol nice!!

While I like all your videos, this one is the best so far! Looking forward to the next one!
I appreciate that for several different reasons. Thanks for the feedback and the view. :D
This was awesome!
LOL... not your normal boring kinda shotgun round.
Very interesting awesome video.. PA has it all from ancient critters to modern marvels! Well done sir
Thanks for watching and commenting :D
I like that one.😮
I figured you would like the fast paced shotgun round.

I did not include portland cement because I will do a full episode on Coplay.

all great facts :D
It is difficult to find precision on size of PA economy of Y'ore.
I have heard it was from 1st to 6th biggest worldwide at some point 100+ years ago.
The only argument we can have about PA back in the day is that it WAS THE BIGGEST of ALL the colonial economies and US economy when they found COAL and IRON up to the end of using COAL and IRON. Which is quite the span of history in the US. Then it all just went away and became a Wilderness Vacation State with two cities that are grinding its financial and societal well being into oblivion.

Amazing facts about PA. Truly a Great State!
It sure is!
Testing, testing, 1, 2, 3, testing from my computer instead of my phone this evening
The number you have reached, "testing, testing, 1, 2, 3" was over in the Live Chat section and cannot respond at this time.
Damn I’ve ran through the Howard tunnel, ran half marathon through the tunnel, but never knew the name or history.
That is one of those really cool things about PA. You have history that goes all the way back to even BEFORE the LeneLenape/Susquehannocks/OhioValley Natives they you pass on a regular basis and have NO IDEA that it is even there, right in front of you. PA is great.
MUNHALL FOERVER !

#25.. ? You an Anti-Semite?
Nope, Pathological Demand Avoidant and Anti- stupidity.
@@ODDySEEy Agreed - I was tossing a joke out there as EVERY one is called one if only the simpliest truth laid bare. On #25 you told truth few know about. GREAT work on ALL your extensive videos.
Will #46, be the birth place of the 46th President of the United States?
Look forward to additional videos on facts of Pennsylvania.
Fortunately, when he turned 10 his family dipped out of PA due to bankruptcy and moved in with family down in the ghetto of Clayton, Delaware. Meaning, he grew up in Delaware, not PA.
