Mickey Mouse pancakes are on the table at one diner on this list. Another spot has served homestyle comfort food since 1952, which is longer than most of our grandparents have been ordering pie. Then there’s the place with mini golf and soft-serve ice cream next to the dinner menu....

Pennsylvanians 65 and older, widows and widowers 50 and up, and disabled adults 18 and up can claim rebates of up to $1,000 if they apply by Dec. 31.
A pile of crunchy maple leaves can be perfectly legal to burn in one town and against the rules a few miles away. That patchwork surprised me the first time I looked into it. State environmental rules in Pennsylvania focus heavily on smoke, and some valley regions face much tighter limits than rural hillsides.
This story comes from our partners at WPSU. Pennsylvania’s Department of Conservation and Natural Resources is unveiling a new climate action plan for the state, with varying deadlines for goals between 2030 and 2050. Several DCNR officials spoke Tuesday at the Mira Lloyd Dock Resource Conservation Center, formerly known...
Pennsylvania’s Buc-ee’s rumors have something in common with the California sign that appeared to be a prank: the excitement got ahead of the evidence. In Pennsylvania’s case, a letter that…
There are roughly 17.1 million veterans living in the U.S., according to data from the Department of Veterans Affairs. Though, the VA anticipates the percentage of the U.S. population with military experience will continue to decline over the next couple of decades—by 2046, it expects the number of living U.S. veterans to decrease by 29%.

Tornado warnings in Queens and Wilmington, Delaware, prompted ground stops at JFK and LaGuardia as the storm brought snow to upstate New York.
Pennsylvania has found a way to make data centers respectable: put them along the Turnpike and have them send you a bill. That is a Pennsylvania story with a national reach. From turnpikes to urban express lanes, public authorities already rely on networked computing to make transportation work. Pennsylvania offers a particularly awkward test of whether policymakers can recognize those benefits when private developers propose the buildings. The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission (PBT) is preparing to complete its statewide conversion to Open Road Tolling on January 3, 2027. In a November 6 Pittsburgh Business Times report , officials explained the technology behind the upgrade. Overhead gantries and roadway equipment identify vehicles, count axles, read transponders, and capture license-plate images for toll collection. A small facility near New Stanton houses a server room and a generator. PBT even shows readers the building. The Commission's technical explanation completes the picture. Gantry data travels through a fiber-optic network to its customer service center in Harrisburg for verification, processing, and payment. Roadside servers and centralized operations together make the service possible. These facilities are much smaller than hyperscale AI campuses. Their electricity demands and local effects cannot simply be equated. But they expose a contradiction
BELLEFONTE — For the third year in a row, the Union Cemetery in Bellefonte hosted a ceremony to celebrate Veterans Day early, honoring the nearly 900 veterans buried there. The ceremony was held on Sunday, Nov. 8 near the once-defunct McCoy Fountain, which lights up green at night in honor of Veterans Day, and is located beside former Pennsylvania Governor James Addams Beaver’s grave site.
Pennsylvania’s Department of Health is monitoring an “ adenovirus outbreak ” on Penn State’s campus. And, although campus numbers appear to be similar to last year, the university issued a news release last week so those with underlying medical conditions know to take precautions. Adenoviruses are a common group of viruses that typically cause flu-like symptoms, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention , and people with weakened immune systems or cardiac/respiratory disease are at risk of becoming seriously ill. According to the state DOH, it first learned of Penn State’s increase in influenza-like illness through a nationwide system ( ILINet ) that tracks healthcare visits for flu-like symptoms. With more students seeking care at University Health Services (UHS), testing then detected an increased spate of adenovirus and other respiratory viruses involving students. “When a school, college, university, or other institution experiences more cases of illness than would normally be expected, it may be considered an outbreak and should be reported to public health,” DOH spokesperson Eli Steiker-Ginzberg told the Centre Daily Times in an email. “Monitoring outbreaks helps public health officials understand which viruses are circulating and provide recommendations to protect people at higher risk for severe
Sixteen acres of bare boulders sit in the middle of a Pennsylvania forest, and not one tree grows among them. Some of those rocks stretch up to 26 feet long. The field is so flat and so empty of soil that it looks like someone paved a clearing with giant stones.
A former railroad corridor that once carried coal trains through northeastern Pennsylvania has been transformed into a recreational trail more than four decades after public money was first committed to preserving the property. The new North Pocono Trail follows 3.2 miles of the former Erie and Wyoming Railroad corridor between...
State environmental officials say an earthquake struck Allegheny Township last month, but it was so small it’s likely no one but seismologists noticed. On Oct. 4, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) was alerted to a seismic event near EQT’s Porter well pad in Allegheny Township off Willowbrook Road.
Pennsylvania Turnpike drivers will pay more beginning Jan. 3, 2027, as a 3.5% toll increase takes effect across the system, marking the 19th consecutive year of higher tolls. The increase comes as the Turnpike prepares to introduce Open Road Tolling to its western section, including interchanges used by Franklin County motorists.
You might not know it from the steady wave of stories about lawsuits related to gambling operators’ VIP departments encouraging addicted players to lose more money, but problem gambling is not good for the house. At least not if the casino is playing the long game. And lots of...
