Trading PA Places
Reminder to those in the city: You live in Pennsylvania! It's a big state with lots of places to eat, stay, and play. A while back, we invited people to discover this by running a contest called Trading PA Places. The contest is over, and now the fun can begin.
In case you forgot, this was the deal: the winner from Philly got a trip to Pittsburgh, and the winner from Pittsburgh got a trip to Philly. We provided the winners with a car, a hotel stay, a camera, and a brand new laptop, and now they'll document their trips online with photos, places visited, and travel recommendations—like a big scrapbook.
Get to know the winners here, and check back often for their adventures across the State of Independence!
