PA turnpike
For the seventh year in a row, there is a toll increase. A 5% increase goes into effect today for cash and EZ pass. There is a new 9 cent per gallon gas tax, too.

The PA turnpike may be the most boring drive on the planet, but then the last time I was on it was in 1959, the year of the great cranberry scare. I was 13. We were headed to Veteran's Stadium in Philadelphia to watch the Army/Navy game. The stadium is history and I assume the turnpike has changed as well.
Yes, the pike is a boring ride, but so are all the interstate highways.
And, unfortunately, when traveling from Harrisburg to Pittsburgh or Philadelphia the turnpike is the most direct route.
It has changed a bit since 1959.
I avoid the pike whenever possible. But sometimes it's an evil necessity. :)
