It's one of the original 13 colonies and could rightly be called the birthplace of American democracy since Philadelphia hosted the first and second Continental Congresses. It was there that the Founding Fathers birthed both the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution. They call Pennsylvania the Keystone State for this very reason.

Billy Joel wore a sport coat, loosened tie, and jeans as he whistled softly while his fingers danced across the keys.

There's something almost cinematic about watching a pack of leather-clad bikers tearing down the highway and embracing the freedom of the open road.

Unless you use a coin-operated washer and dryer or you're scrounging for change to feed the parking meter, it's probably safe to say you don't think about quarters too much.

Only a rare few realize what they should really fear is that the end will come not in a blaze of glory or with the comfort of rest, but with a whoopee-cushion blare and a round of guffaws.

Even if you've never seen a Marilyn Monroe film before, it's more than likely that you've seen her most iconic image. You know the one: the bubbly blonde standing over a subway grate, laughingly trying to tame the white halter dress billowing up over her knees.
