~ Williamsport & Harrisburg, Pennsylvania ~

by noidiotsplease

Central Pennsylvania is a mountainous region bisected by US Route 15. I traveled through here with my parents and brother while returning home from Canada. We would eventually be stopping in Lancaster for the night, but first had to negotiate our way through construction detours that at times sent us off onto smaller roads in small towns. We did, however, drive through the hearts of two notable cities that serve as commercial hubs and boast little skylines of their own.

Williamsport

Williamsport is located in the northern reaches of Central Pennsylvania. I remember it primarily as place with a handful of old mid-rise buildings. The city’s claim to fame is that it hosts the Little League World Series. I do not recall seeing anything baseball-related passing through town though.

Harrisburg

After winding our way south for about 85 miles into the heart of Central Pennsylvania, we came around a curve that put the skyline of Harrisburg into view. Perched on the far banks of the Susquehanna River, Harrisburg is, of course, the state’s capital. While not a big city – nothing close to the size of Pittsburgh -- it certainly looks like the biggest city in the region. After passing Harrisburg, we headed east toward Lancaster, gateway to Pennsylvania Dutch Country.
