Grace Mine site. It was General Crushed Stone, then Sheridan Corporation and finally Alan Myers. I worked for Sheridan and Myers. I guess technically it's The Borough of New Morgan. Old route 10 used to run through the middle of the property, the road leading to the quarry was actually old route 10. If you look at an aerial photo of the area its clear as day, when Bethlehem Steel bought the property the State allowed them to re-route Route 10 around the land

There's a huge landfill there, there was a small stone quarry next to it that I used to run

Someone said Phoenixville, good place to start, better than Morgantown. It's also very close to Valley Forge National Park which is pretty big.

Phoenixville has a great little downtown too and SEPTA is going to put in a commuter rail line in the next few years

I grew up in NJ and there were State Inspection stations. They were big drive thru buildings and you just drove through and the inspectors would check out your car. If you failed something they'd give you a window sticker good for 30 days so you could make the repair. You'd have to go back again and get retested. If you passed you got a sticker and went on your way. This didn't cost anything outside of the normal fees and taxes you pay to drive a car. It was a decent system although the lines were always long.

I think they stopped this a few years ago though.
