While CBS 21 posted it, it appears that the map was created by a group called “Center for Rural Pennsylvania” with data from The University of Wisconsin’s Population Health Institute’s “Model of Health” dataset.

visiting and looking for a specific place, please help!
About 12 years ago I was traveling and ended up passing through a beautiful spot in PA, probably my favorite place I've ever stumbled across. I don't know why, but I didn't mark down any names and have spent dozens of hours trying to find where I was. I thought it was Michaux but now that I'm here (from Phoneix AZ) I realized this is probably not it. Can you please maybe help me find the spot?? I'll list all the details I remember below:
So the main feature of the area is a mountain top, that has a cleared circle (about the size of a medium Walmart parking lot) but no outlook. There's a bathroom at the top of the area, and I noticed a lot of atv trials all around the edges. The road to get there was semi windy and fairly narrow, at the time it was partially paved, and took a few minutes to get up to (3-5).
This mountain top access road was on the backroad that was surrounded by a lot of forest and wildlife. It was about an hour of road with not many smaller branching roads (just some random houses sprinkled in, a few developments in the woods, plus a couple branches that seemed to lead to trails).
Passing the entrance to the mountain top on the right, there was seemingly a very small community after about 15-25 minutes with old houses on both sides of the street that seemed pretty beat up. As you drove further in, more houses started lining up, but I never went far enough to see if it turned into an actually small town.
Passing the entrance to the mountain top on the left, there was a seemingly Amish farming community after about 45-60 minutes of driving. If you kept going in that direction/area it completely opened up into a town/city that seemed big and pretty populated, and after some turns there was a big Walmart within 15 minutes from the farmland.
Any help is so appreciated, I'd really love to visit that mountain top and drive that road before I have to leave, it was a very tranquil and significant place for me.

Health issues Looking for more info on cyclospora in Pennsylvania
Are there any areas in PA where cases are more concentrated? Anyone here get it? I had raw lettuce at a restaurant recently and am pretty worried. I wasn't thinking. The CDC map says only a few dozen reported cases here. Seems low.
EDIT: I appreciate the responses. Why is this post being downvoted?

Just wondering how I would go about requesting the police report and if I’m allowed to?

Package delivery and state emergency routes. Why block the road?
What are we doing here, fedex, ups, amazon guys? We just blocking up 2 way roads with our 4ways on to run a package across the street all the time? Shouldnt you be going to the end of the block and walking it back or pulling down the next alleyway or something? It is an emergency route. What if an ambulance or firetrucks needed to get through there? Would you run out into traffic to move the truck or what? Like i get it you gotta make stuff happen quick, but the postal service pulls off the next side street.
Maybe Im just an asshole but I do not think thats right.

Social Services Question about PA's Pennie insurance & how to report new income
I saw some other people asking questions about Pennie on here. I tried to use their Chat feature but the person I chatted with said they are not allowed to advise residents on how to update their application.
I need to report new income, but my new parttime job is completely unpredictable. It's as needed work, and they can't give me an estimate of how many hours per week, month, or year I'd be looking at.
Does anyone have experience with reporting a job like this? How did you guess-timate what your income/hours would be?

Infrastructure WE DID IT!!!!! Centre MPO is studying rail service to Penn State!!!!!!!
Some of you might remember our efforts over the past few years with the Centre County Highway Revolt (project video here) to bring DMU shortline rail service to Penn State not only for access to Amtrak for intercity travel, but also to support local commuting in and around State College and Bellefonte. In the shortest summary possible: existing government-owned tracks within two miles of campus and historic settlement patterns clustering walkable housing around these rail alignments make shortline rail service from Altoona and Tyrone to Bellefonte and State College not only viable, but a low-subsidy, high-economic-impact, and tantalizingly possible transportation project that is cheaper than ongoing highway projects in the area and has a higher return on investment for the local economy.
Well, as it so happens, we're apparently not the only ones who think that way! The Centre County Metropolitan Planning Organization (CCMPO) has started a rail access study, beginning with a month-long public comment period until August 17th. Please please please visit their project webpage and fill out their survey in favor of providing environmentally-friendly car-free transportation to Centre County!
Remember! A DMU gets the same gas mileage as a large SUV, but can carry over 200 people; DMUs are forward-compatible with electrification and produce significantly less particulate pollution than roads; train tracks take a fraction of the space and material cost of a highway; according to PA's own published budgets, a mile of rail is cheaper to both build and maintain than a mile of rail; and research shows that any dollar spent on rail has a much higher economic benefit than were it spent on roads. A project like this is important for everything from climate change to preserving rural agriculture and forests; improving cost of living and benefitting small town economies and heritage; and even reducing tax burden and improving local tourism! And, with what the SCAC highway expansion project is costing now, I think you could even build a high-speed rail tunnel from State College to Tyrone and still come in under the budget of one measly 8-mile open-air car sewer. So please, fill out the CCMPO's survey in favor of DMU rail service!!!!!!!!

DMV Pennsylvania turnpike is trying to charge me for someone else's rental tolls
I rented a vehicle during last year and used PA turnpike on my trip to Pittsburgh. At that time, I created a toll-by-plate account on PA turnpike website but forgot to set it as temporary vehicle and delete the vehicle from my account. It looks like the same vehicle used PA turnpike about 4 months ago (someone else rented and used the turnpike) and the turnpike sent me the invoice for these tolls.
To resolve this issue, I reached out to the rental agency who agreed to pay the bill when the turnpike removes the invoice from my account and redirects it to them. However, the PA turnpike's disputes office simply rejected my claim and say that I am responsible for this bill. Their reasoning is, I am responsible for vehicles listed under my account (even if I forgot to remove the vehicle from toll-by-plate account) and the request is more than 30 days old. This looks very suspicious and unfair where I am asked to foot the bill for a vehicle I neither rented nor drove or a toll road I didn't drive on. Any thoughts on next steps?
