The one benefit to my parents living in rural Pennsylvania is that there is a never-ending selection of fresh produce right down the road. This farm market, on the corner of two busy roads, is my favorite. They have a tiny room of decorations for your home which I like to view but my favorite part has to be the tables and tables of flowers, fruits, and vegetables. The air is rich with a sweet, delicious scent. Your mouth will water -- that's how fresh everything is! It's also really cheap. Seriously, the best fruits and veggies I've ever had for snacking and cooking has come from this place. Every time I visit my parents I make it a point to visit there and take armfuls of fruits and veggies back home with me.

#adventure Graffiti Highway,is a popular tourist attraction in Centralia, Pennsylvania about two and a half hours northwest of Philadelphia. The nearly one-mile stretch of Route 61 is a profusion of color in a mostly abandoned ghost town. The story of the Centralia Mine Fire begins in the spring of 1962, when, according to Ripleys.com, the residents were preparing for their Memorial Day festivities. Thinking the best way to clean up a sprawling, 300-foot landfill would be to set it on fire, they did just that, having no idea the blaze would continue for more than 50 more years. The smoldering fire "latched onto an old coal seam from the mine," explains Ripleys, "and slowly spread throughout the mines under the city." Over time, a pattern emerged: Fires appeared and then would be doused. But nothing could stop them from coming, and the stench of burnt trash filled the air. Eventually, the town was condemned and now only a handful of residents remain.
