Dunno about the rest of PA, but Pittsburgh's no walk in the park either.
Goddamn triangle grid downtown!
Me: "Oops, I went the wrong way! I'll just take two rights and be going back the way I came!"
Pittsburgh: "The fuck you will!"
Great city, though, once I let go of my preconceived notions of how navigation works.
Philly is a grid system for the most part. It’s still mad max out there though despite that. You just know exactly where you’re being run off the road
Philly is a grid system but you have to drive in wild spaghetti paths anyway to avoid all the potholes, construction debris, drunk college kids, double parked vans, the police, sinkholes, mudslides, children on bicycles who fear nothing on this earthly plane, discarded mattresses, spontaneous otherdimensional vortexes, concrete rubble piles, etc.
More rural and recently-suburbanized PA areas (outside of the neighborhoods) can get a bit spicy. Not quite like Mass though.
