Reply to comment by Willing_Category1331 in This state is extremely odd. I live in a place where there's two vastly different environments near me. by Willing_Category1331
I'd have guessed either near Pittsburgh or Wilkes-Barre. Both surrounded by game lands and mtns relatively close.

Reply to comment by knawshaw in Happy Halloween from the cemetery at 6th and Smithfield! by knawshaw
This is true. I took a historic tour through that area. Supposedly the graveyard covered multiple blocks in the city and a small remnant is left on 6th Ave near the 1st Presby church. The guide said the earthen walls of the basement will have bones occasionally poke through. It blows my mind how many cemeteries have been bulldozed when they should have been carefully excavated. He also said Heinz field stood, which had been an island, on an old native settlement who primary use in the 1750's was torturing captive European soldiers. While British soldiers had been tortured then killed during their campaigns through the area, I never have found any sources to back up that it was the use of the island.

It definitely did... for other people I'm sure. Anyway, have an oddly appropriate award!

Hmm, very interesting. Please, obviously for other people who may see this post, explain it like you would to a Sixth grader. Use pictures as needed.
