A blue ribbon for the best apple pie in Pennsylvania gets handed out at the state Farm Show. That tells you how seriously folks here take a slice of fruit baked in a crust. I love that the competition reaches far beyond a single contest. Some bakeries here sell apple pie by the slice next to hot dogs.
Only two people have posted public notes about this small Pennsylvania antique shop, and they could not sound more different. One remembered a wonderful time and a warm, friendly owner, while the other found a sign promising open hours and a locked door. That split tells a bigger story. The...

(The Center Square) – As Tim DeFoor enters the final two years of his second term as Pennsylvania’s Auditor General, he is considering a bid for another office in 2028. “My parents always taught me that public service is a privilege and an opportunity to make your community better. Which is something I still believe in,” DeFoor said in a statement to The Center Square on Tuesday. “I’ve been fortunate to serve Pennsylvania in public office.
