ExiledInIllinois Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 I am gonna get the fireworks going... But what the hell here goes: Ask the Red States, the Inter-Mountain West, the South, and Alaska to help out... Off the backs of the industrialized north, subsidized those others infrastructure (power, phones, roads, etc...) from the 1930's on through the1960's... Oh, and ask Appalachia to help out too, they seem to have some of the best roads in West Virginia... How the !@#$ did they get that? This is all light-hearted of course, so to some: Lighten-up. NO need to get ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chandler#81 Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Spent a lifetime there (PA) one year. Pottstown area, on nuke construction. Getting my car registered was a crazy experience. Had to pay for the registration at Franks' house, then drive to Jimbob's place to purchase insurance, then head to Debbie's house, interupt their dinner to follow her out to the garage to stacks and stacks of license plates to buy. Never saw anything like this before or since. It was explained to me then, the reason for the terrible condition of the turnpike/highways throughout the state is because -as a commonwealth- they don't spend money on road repair until the state has collected enough to begin... Thus, a never-ending series of potholes you can get all 4 wheels into before you go bashing out the other side of.. Been avoiding the state ever since.

ExiledInIllinois Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 So as a "Commonwealth" they don't "mortage" against their future for road repairs??? Other states are Commonwealths like MA and VA... VA is south and doesn't have the harsh winters... How is MA? Calling all MA residents! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know when you lived there, but at some point in the early to mid 80's, the state changed the automobile safety inspection requirement to once a year. Prior to that, the state required all autos to be inspected twice a year. Talk about a PITA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best thing about that time there was the pro sports era for Philly. While I lived there, the Flyers made the Cup finals and the 76ers', Phillies and USFL Stars won league championships!! Only the Eagles sucked.. The Sports pages were fanatastic that year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
