It's Not About Miles, It's About a State of Mind (But Also Miles)
Let's get the nitty-gritty out of the way first. Youngstown isn't exactly knocking on Pennsylvania's door. Depending on where you start in Youngstown, you're looking at anywhere between a chill 15-minute drive (if you're on the eastern edge) to a more substantial road trip adventure of an hour or so.
But here's the thing: distance is just a number. What truly matters is the spirit of Pennsylvania that seems to waft over the border and tickle Youngstown's nose. Is it the scent of delicious cheesesteaks? The faint echo of Rocky Balboa yelling "Adrian!"? Who can say?
Tip: Read carefully — skimming skips meaning.
