“The Keystone State – named because of its central importance in the foundation of our nation – is located within easy driving distance of New York City, Baltimore, Washington, D.C. and many other northeast cities. And you can get to the beach – or ‘down the shore’ as they say in Philadelphia – in a couple of hours.”
