    Ha ha ha! I lived up in coal country for a while too. C'mon. Lansford and Summit Hill have some interesting characters, you've got to admit that. But around Berks is Rutters country, you can get sweet bologna wraps there!

    Best time to deliver in NYC is 10pm-5am but good luck finding someone at a store to unload you

    Yeah. Especially Pittsburgh. NYC is mostly flat grid.

    I'd take that any day of the week and twice on Sunday vs NYC. I seriously don't get while people are so scared of the terrain in PA. Slow down in bad weather, distance yourself from others, and downshift to a low gear before starting down a steep slope. It's really not that bad. I-68 in WV during winter is worse then Pittsburg and the surrounding area.
