Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

So PA is a weird one because it's so wide.

Yes, Philly is undoubtedly on the east coast.

But Pittsburgh is on the other side of the mountains.

I wouldn't call Pittsburgh the "east coast".

Pittsburgh is the gateway to the Midwest. The city is WAY more like Cleveland than Philly.

Pittsburgh certainly isn't easy coast or mid west. I consider Pittsburgh Appalachian.

Same with New York and Buffalo. Buffalo just doesn't seem like an east coast city.
