Agreed completely. I noticed a seismic shift in Sheetz's food offerings in 2006. They basically eliminated all the obscure, random food possibilities I enjoyed... and they reformulated their "fresh baked chocolate chip cookies" to make the experience similar to eating a hockey puck.
Still, Sheetz remains a beacon of salvation on lonely Appalachian highways. And they will keep me fat as long as every Sheetz from Harrisburg to Harrisonburg continues to carry Gardner's peanut butter meltaways.

Anyway... capital tour, mate! I'm a big fan of dense housing descending a hill with lush green ridges in the distance shots.
Some day... those wacky downtown signs need to come down... what a blight.
Looking forward to Hollidaysburg!
