KOP has more retail sq footage (most in the US for a mall) than MOA. MOA is larger if you include the amusement park etc

What gorgeous photos. Makes me want to go there. I love older buildings, and in CA, our oldest buildings include the missions, a few old Mexican land haciendas, and a little of what's left of the Russians, but most of it is post gold-rush.

That was one of the things I did love about living in TN for 5 years, the older buildings with an earlier American history.

In the northeast, I've only seen Maine for a honeymoon, and Wash DC on a quick vacation. Your photos make me want to visit PA. But, not in winter, thanks

Haha--can't blame you for that. Fall, spring and most of summer are absolutely amazing in the Northeast. Even winter has its charms, but I admit it can get a little dreary.

You should check out Williamsburg and Norfolk next time. From a historical perspective, they are definitely two of the more interesting cities in the Northeast.

It seems in PA it's easier to find the old colonial, Federal, Victorian era stuff than even in equivalent aged areas in MD and NJ. The difference with MD I could attribute to hyper-local vs. county level zoning. NJ is hyper local too but even in Bergen County where most of the little boroughs still have their own (very expensive) schools, it's nearly impossible to see anything older than 1900 driving around areas that were settled maybe 100 years before much of PA.

yeah and many parts of MD and VA are under rated from this perspective

Love the horse country just west of NOVA gorgeous

i think on the whole the NE corridor get a wrap of being urban when just outside is strikingly pretty

take NYC - just outside the city in West Chester its amazing and only miles away

I actually prefer Bucks to Chester but both have their beauty

Check out New Hope and the Delaware valley if you ever get the chance

New Hope is slice of heaven really

More well known vs Facts. I say facts wins. I think I get your point though, but its still the biggest so I can say it. Philly has the biggest mall in the USA in its metro.
