PA Welcome Center on Route 15South

I like this welcome area on Route 15 South in Pennsylvania. I went there soon after it opened in 2003 and have visited it maybe thrice since. It's actually a nice place to spend time, spacious inside with rocking chairs and of course plenty of info along with knowledgeable staffers on hand. Outside is where you see these scenic views.

The town of Alvira was taken over by eminent domain early in WWII to manufacture and store TNT. 11 months later, the government realized they over-estimated the need for that much TNT and the site was abandoned......
