You Don't Know Jack About States... But You Know Pennsylvania, Right?
Ah, Pennsylvania. The land of cheesesteaks, liberty bells, and ... well, maybe a few other things too. But listen, if you're geographically challenged (and hey, no judgement, continents are tricky!), you might be wondering: exactly where in the heck is Pennsylvania?
Fear not, friend! Buckle up for a crash course in Pennsylvanian geography that's more exciting than watching paint dry (although let's be honest, watching historical paint dry on the Liberty Bell might be pretty interesting).

| What State In Pennsylvania |
The Keystone State: Holding the East Coast Together (Probably)
Pennsylvania (or Pennsyltucky as some folks out west affectionately – and perhaps inaccurately – call it) sits pretty in the northeastern corner of the United States. Picture it like the top left button on your shirt, if your shirt buttons were inexplicably shaped like states.
QuickTip: Scan quickly, then go deeper where needed.
Here's the rundown of its neighbors:
- To the north, you've got Lake Erie (great for swimming with giant, friendly fish... maybe) and New York, famous for its bagels and questionable fashion choices.
- On the east side, you'll find New Jersey (sorry, New Jersey) and the Delaware River, which might be where that whole "crossing the Delaware" thing happened in history class (don't quote me on that).
- South of Pennsylvania, there's Maryland, Delaware (again, not to be confused with the river), and West Virginia, which, as the name suggests, is kinda west of Virginia (who knew?).
- And to the west, you'll find Ohio, famous for... well, being Ohio. But hey, they probably have some nice cornfields!
So there you have it! Pennsylvania, geographically gifted and holding the Eastern seaboard together (probably), is ready to welcome you with open arms (and maybe a cheesesteak).
QuickTip: Skip distractions — focus on the words.
But Wait, There's More!
Pennsylvania isn't just about location, location, location. It's also got:
- Mountain ranges: Because who doesn't love a good scenic hike (or a chance to get lost and become a cryptid)?
- Big cities: Philadelphia, with its historical charm and questionable sports fans, and Pittsburgh, the steel city with a surprisingly artsy side.
- Small towns: Full of friendly people, delicious Amish pies, and that feeling of being in a Hallmark movie (but without the unrealistic expectations of love).
Pennsylvania truly has it all!
QuickTip: Pause after each section to reflect.
