    Bedford, PA was never bombed by the German Airforce in World War 2. They never made it across the Atlantic Ocean ever. The closest they got was England by flying across the English channel from Germany. You'd better check your facts before posting a video. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

    Thank you for this video( and for the correction). I"ve been to the Coffee pot. Bedford is a historical , quant town. Bedford village has original cabins that were relocated and preserved. My Grandma was born in one of those cabins...we visited it there once. My Great Great Grandma worked ar Bedford Springs, that is a Splendid Resort that is still ooen. There are some great antique shops there, too. My parents would enjoy day trips to Bedford and enjoy the shops. I moved to Florida for the work and Sunshine, but I like to visit Pennsylxania. Its a beautiful state , with beautiful people.

    A lot of Eckley was recreated for the movie Molly Maguires. Some buildings were built in the 70's and made to APPEAR authenric. Also, as a FORMER resident of Jim Thorpe I would not recommend going there. Lots of people from NYC and everything is high priced and packed with tourists. Lines are long and the traffic/parking is a NIGHTMARE !!!!!

Philadelphia Eastern State Penitentiary yes, it was designed in 1700 & the doors opened up & closed in 1971 & did have some notorious prisoners, 1 in general-Al Capone who was later sent to the "Rock" out in California area. It was suppose 2B torn down & turned into a shopping center, but didn't & now the state owns it & tours R conducted through it, I did get to talk to at that time some of old guards & was not a place 2B sent too.

    thank the global nursery trade for non-native plants inadvertently introducing non-native pests and insects over the past 150 years. Oaks have Oak Sudden Death, Chestnuts have blight, Elms have Dutch Elm Disease, Beech have bark disease and leaf disease, Hemlock has the wooly Adelaide. The list goes on and on and on and is getting longer. It's all about humans moving plants huge distances within short timelines that are incompatible with the normal evolutionary mechanisms that allow plants to become resilient to pests and pathogens. To keep things from getting worse we have to stop moving plants, but there's too much money in the plant trade for that to happen. Same story as every other problem humans create.
