PA high schools do not need a phone ban

Pennsylvania’s statewide phone ban is claimed to help reduce student distraction and help students improve their grades.

It might cover the issues, but it doesn’t repair the damage left underneath.

10 Pennsylvania Festivals That Prove November Is No Time To Stay Home

A single chrysanthemum plant in Pennsylvania gets trained to hold more than a thousand matching blooms at once. One plant. A thousand flowers. I still can’t get over that. Gardeners start growing it in January, and the planning for its big show begins two years ahead. That kind of patience feels wild to me, especially for a display that lasts only a few weeks in fall.

What Pennsylvania Law Says About Clearing A Neighbor’s Vines Growing Over Your Fence

A plant can trespass on your property, at least in the eyes of a court. That sounds like a joke, yet judges in Pennsylvania have treated creeping greenery from next door as a real legal intrusion. Personally, I find that oddly satisfying. Those leafy tendrils sneaking over the top rail...
