Ewingjr98 Says: Bob's Sub is a great small-town sub shop with excellent service and great food. The sandwiches are fresh, tasty, and affordable. This little shop has been in this prime location across from the Clarion Courthouse forever. I think I first ate here 20 years ago, and even then...

Beer drive-throughs in Clarion???!!!
Ewingjr98 Says: Pennsylvania has some of the worst, most convoluted alcohol sales laws in the country. Only the state owned liquor stores can sell wine or hard liquor, and they are not allowed to sell beer. Luckily the no-beer on Sundays rule changed recently. Don't even think about buying...

Ewingjr98 Says: In Clarion County, it has been estimated that one deer is killed by a car each day. Not only does this mean a lot of dead deer, but each deer strike causes thousands of dollars in damage to your vehicle. Be alert, especially at dusk. If you see one deer run across the road,...
Rabbityama Says: When driving to Clarion on US-322, be sure to drive carefully. The roads are extremely windy, and if you're not careful, it is very easy to loose control or cut a corner too late and end up in the other lane. Pay close attention to the signs that tell you when a turn is...

See you pee - Clarion University of Pennsylvania

Ewingjr98 Says: Newbie, or more formally New Bethlehem, has nothing much to do with old Bethlehem or Jesus. What the town of just over 1,000 does have is a Smuckers Peanut Butter factory and an annual Peanut Butter Festival in September. This small town 20 miles from the county seat of...
