Pennsylvania, you're covered!
Hi Viatologists,
Up next is Pennsylvania, USA... Also known as the Keystone State, its population of 12,5 million uses an intricate set of Interstates, US Federal Routes and State Routes daily. As the planet's largest sampler of highway media, the Worldwide Highway Library (WHL) brings to you photographs of Pennsylvania State Routes 252, 407, 643 and 731. http://worldwide-hwys.calrog.com Photographs > Americas > United States > State Routes > Pennsylvania Odds are, you won't see the hard-working Pennsylvania Dutch on these roads. Those dudes are the masters of their craft, proudly staying on grounds to complete their tasks. If you need a carpenter who gets the job done, they will impress. Stick around this weekend for more updates to the WHL, including interesting trivia surrounding the highway.

There are the Amish, Mennonites, and the Germanic colonists, who live in the same area of south-central Pennsylvania, hence the "Pennsylvania Dutch" moniker. And fortunately there are no Amish on the Internet; I'm sure one of them would take one of their shop-hewn hammers to your skull just for mentioning them. |

Ben Prusia's old site (RIP... damn I miss that site) had termini photos of every Missouri State highway, yet the Worldwide Highway Liability apparently "covers" Missouri with a single photo of 5 SEMO state highway shields. Jeff Morrison's Iowa Highway site has ****e- loads more interesting (and better quality) photos of Iowa highway ends, and better coverage of just one state, than KlRgz does for any one state in his "worldwide" coverage. ~D |

If you actually want to explore the PA highways on the web rather than just getting a couple of photos and a bunch of self indulgent propaganda visit Jeff Kitsko's site.

And fortunately there are no Amish on the Internet; I'm Chust for so...("just for so" as we say), there is a Pennsylvania German/Pennsylvania Dutch culture which is distinct, and, in many cases, dying out. There are two types of "Dutchies" (Deitschers/Germans) - the "plain" people (the Anabaptists, a branch of Christianity which believes in adult baptism and which includes the Amish, Mennonites, and the Brethren denominations) who disdain ornamentation and various levels of technology, and the "gay" people (Lutherans and the (former) Reformed-now-United-Church-of-Christ denominations) which retained the language and much of the tradition but which practiced infant baptism and used technology just as their "English" neighbors did. This is verifiable through sources such as wikipedia and Kutztown University of Pennsylvania's Pennsylvania German Cultural Heritage Center. The Lutherans and Reformed people remained in Pennsylvania, for the most part. The Anabaptists needed to give land to their sons as working farms, so they moved further west in the state, and continued into Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, and several provinces of Canada to obtain large tracts of land suitable for subdivision. So, in brief, anything in Pennsylvania could work. It has thousands of miles of state highway, much of which meanders through different counties. Look at PA 309, which runs from Philadelphia to Wilkes- Barre. It runs through Lehigh County, considered part of Pennsylvania Dutch country. We should be proud of this part of our national culture. It gave us funnel cakes. |

The Amish are pacifists, and in any case would not want to get Carl's blood on a hammer, as blood is harmful to the metal and difficult to remove. -- There's no such thing as a free lunch, but certain accounting practices can result in a fully-depreciated one. |

Indeed; neither of the earlier meanings makes sense for the Amish: 1: a man extremely fastidious in dress and manner : dandy 2: a city dweller unfamiliar with life on the range; especially : an Easterner in the West The Amish are about as far from dandies as you can get and they're not typically city-dwellers. -- There's no such thing as a free lunch, but certain accounting practices can result in a fully-depreciated one. |
