While it's over 120 miles and it's scenic, it's not running through the big emptiness of the central and western PA mountains - instead, it goes through the southeast from Valley Forge to Harrisburg - still, what I've seen is beautiful.

The greatest place to hike in Berks County. So many people decree it for its falseness (the dam on the Tulpohocken Creek created it), but frankly, the views of all that surrounds it in this suburban county of ours make it a great day out.

The home of the Detroit Tigers, Commerica Park, was never the home of Ty Cobb, but perhaps there is a sense that the spirit of the best Tiger ever (who was also the most despicable racist in baseball history this side of Cap Anson) is still there with the memory of Hank Greenberg, Al Kaline, Alan Trammel, and Hal Newhouser.

They've come back from the dead with Buck Showalter's boot. Their proud son, Cal Ripken, made sure that they'd sell tickets with himself in the lineup, but they never won after 1997. Sure, Jeffrey Maier didn't help, but neither did Albert Belle, Sammy Sosa, Rafael Palmeiro, and a ton of injuries to Brian Roberts. Always a great place for a game - even if you're from out of town.

While my sister will laugh at my love of ESPN Zone's fries, Baltimore shows that you can turn the ghetto into a moneymaker if you move out riff raff (the red light section) and you move in the stores, the aquarium, and the touristy stuff. Of course, you'll need police to keep the red light in its section (even if the crackheads wander out to beg for handouts, occasionally, you needn't worry since the drugs and the beatings they give each other makes them slow and incoherent).
