The biggest freshwater coast in the country
Pennsylvania sits on the Great Lakes — Lake Michigan, Erie, Huron, Superior, or Ontario, depending on which corner of the state you're in. The lakes mean real beaches, real summer water activities, and a moderating effect on inland weather that the rest of the Midwest doesn't get.
Reasons reflect aggregated city data for Pennsylvania (Census ACS, BLS, BEA) plus well-known state-level geography. We only list points that are actually supported — different states show different sections.
