Ohio and Pennsylvania
The Buckeye State and The Keystone State
Two neighboring Midwestern states in these United States. Ok, well, western Pennsylvania feels Midwestern, but eastern Pennsylvania definitely feels Mid-Atlantic. Heck, you could even classify parts of Pennsylvania as part of the Northeast region of the country. It’s a crossroads state, really. Um, but yeah, this video is about Pennsylvania AND OHIO and you know what? BOTH are crossroads states, with easy access to so many great places. Both states sure do have a lot in common, for real.
First of all, both are part of the Rust Belt, a region of the country known for declining industry and run down factories. Even decades after most of these factories have shut down, several cities in both states continue to lose population each year.
Both are probably about to lose one electoral vote in the Electoral College, because the population of both hasn’t grown much in recent years.
Hey speaking of the Electoral College, if a presidential candidate wins either Ohio or Pennsylvania, odds are they are winning the entire election. Ohio and Pennsylvania pick winners, baby! Pennsylvania picked the winner for all but two presidential elections between 1789 and 1880. Both Ohio and Pennsylvania tend to be swing states in recent years, although Ohio seems to be more reliably Republican lately. Both have one Republican U.S. Senator and one Democratic U.S. Senator. Now, the governor of Ohio is a Republican and the governor of Pennsylvania is a Democrat. But the state legislatures in both states currently have Republican majorities.

Wyoming and montana? Or did you already do that one?
Maine and Massachusetts
Ooh ooh, do the Carolinas.
Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania is better
“Both have all four seasons”
... in a single week.
I've lived in both Southern and Central Ohio, I can confirm this, sadly.
Can confirm in eastern PA
True up here in northwest Ohio
Ikr
Yeah one week ago there was 4 inches of snow and now tomorrow it's going to be 85 degrees.
How have I never noticed how buff Mr. Beat is, holy moly he's HUGE
For Real! He's been lifting!
Quarantine has done a lot
Too swole to control
@@RockSmithStudio Lifting them history books
Yeah I’ve noticed it right away.💪🏾
As to the roads in Ohio being better, any one from PA would tell that’s true. After all Our state flower is the traffic cone, they come out in the spring and stay all year.
At least the cone recognizes an issue.. if that's OH's flower then PA's would be a pothole
Bro stop the roads are terrible especially in Akron
@@hooperx307 I can vouch for this. Been there, hit those. You can destroy the front tires within 10 minutes of the central interchange in any direction.
Yes
(West Virginia has entered the chat)
We're also called the rust belt because of the often salting of the roadways which induces a rapid rusting of vehicles. Also Valley Forge National Park is located in Pennsylvania.
It's in the northwest suburbs of Philadelphia, so beautiful but expensive to live around it! The developers are always trying to buy land from it.
Ya I was confused by this too. I think most of them are labeled National Historic Parks but that should still count lol.
This is the first time I’ve seen your arms with out a long sleeve shirt and never knew your arm where packing
Wait, you've never been to the GUN SHOW? 😄
Same omg 🥵
@@iammrbeat This video has a loophole that needs closing... BECAUSE OF THAT GUN SHOW!
@@iammrbeat packing weapons of mass destruction, Mr. Beat. Careful what you do with them.
Covid 19 took my gym and my “guns” away. Trying to desperately build it back before summer
God DAYUM Mr. Beat! Don’t think we don’t notice those gains you’ve gotten over quarantine!
Right? The first time I notice was on the mail in voting video but this is even more extreme. Good for him.
Quarantine? What's that?
@SCN I don't
Since the age of 2, I've lived in a boarder town in PA, where you cross the road and you are in Ohio. Both states feel the same to me. I visited Pittsburgh as much as Cleveland, but lived in Pittsburgh for 2 years for school. Nowadays I still live in a boarder town on the Ohio side. Much love for both states.
I’m also very border, probably a bit further south than you as I have to pass through WV to get to Ohio quickest. As far as Northern WV, Ohio, western PA goes we’re all one in the same. Even as you go up North where you are, all the way to Erie. Now, the eastern half of the state though? Different world. Very influenced by NY, NJ.
Edit to add: I haven’t been there (yet) but I think once you get off the panhandle of WV, WV starts to become very different from our area as well. More southern.
I definitely agree, they are swing states , Amish country, and part of the crossroads of America, where things transition from the South to the Northeast.
Other notable Ohioans; John Glenn (first man to orbit the earth), Neil Armstrong (first man to step on the moon), John D. Rockefeller (the original oil baron). Pennsylvania is also famous for being the first state where oil was pumped from the ground (Quaker City). Western PA and eastern Ohio are basically the same place. The people are very much alike, the climate is very much alike and we are bitter rivals because of it.
They are like that because they had to deal with the many destructive anomalies in the state
Jokes aside, pretty impressive.
Also, one of the Wright brothers was born in Ohio.
As someone from PA, it was pretty cool to see pictures of places I visit often on the video. I grew up in Gettysburg and went to Western PA for college. And it’s definitely colder and wetter.
You grew up in a beautiful part of the country.
Where did you go to college? My mom went to college in Western PA
Gettysburg is such a beautiful area, I love driving out in Adams County.
I am pa born and raised waisted 32-1/2 years of my life them hatefull corrupt mother fuckers ruined my goddamn life FUCK PA ohio I lived there for a few years too FUCK OHIO too they is some hatefull wicked nazis
Mee too
Mr Beat is buff AF!
Mr Beef
call the swole patrol
As a Pennsylvanian kid, I just had to click this video. I loved it! I learned some new things too. It also made me realize how beautiful and historical both states are! Glad you included my home city! (Pittsburgh) Yup, i'm a yinzer. Thanks! :D
its funny my best friend goes to school at IUP (I'm down in dc for college lol) and we live about 40 min north of Philly she was telling me the difference between pitt and Philly is like night and day which is surprised bc pa isn't even that big of a state
im a yinzer too
Mr Beat: “Ohioans do pay more in taxes overall”
New York: **Laughs in highest taxes in the country**
Nah fr, that’s why I’m moving to Ohio in a few days from NY cuz New York is so expensive 🤯
You should do Pittsburgh vs Philadelphia, lot of crazy differences and a huge rivalry between the two.
Yes!
Well I did already compare Philly to Boston, though. :/
What 'huge' rivalry? Most Philadelphians rarely go west of Harrisburg, if even there. They're on two opposite ends of the state, and aside from being in the same state, don't really have anything to do with each other. Philadelphia and NY or Philly and Boston have more of a rivalry, as they are much closer, and the people are more connected culturally, and and both being in the I-95 corridor.
Pittsburgh>Philly easy…. Although when visiting Philly I was pleasantly surprised
@@duffal0 its insane living here
shit will drive you crazy
As an Eastern Pennsylvanian, I've been to Wawa more than any other food chain in my entire life.
I have never been but can't wait to check one out.
Same
I see Wawa a lot
Same thing here but I go to Sheetz instead
As a Westen Pennsylvanian I say: what the fuck is Wawa I've nerver heard that word until today. Also Pennsylvania is best state 😎 hello from the west.
I lived in PA first 32 years of my life. Last 21 in Ohio. I like Ohio more due to better roads, nicer people and the weather is a smidge better. Also less government entities. But I miss the mountains of PA and other outdoor activities.
Me too I lived in pa now in in ar
Ohio has some of the best national parks
there are mountains in Ohio but the flat parts are usely what's meme'd
@@johnparker7732 I lived in ohio all my life never saw a mountain
@@focused4841 dude I live there ,you have to go to the south to see theme tho.
I'm a bit surprised Mr. Beat didn't mention some natural resources like coal (particularly anthracite in PA) and crude oil with the first commercially successful drilling of crude oil near Titusville, PA.
I live in Ohio and have no plans to move elsewhere, but I definitely enjoy visiting Pennsylvania and hope to return their many times in the future! :)
I lived on the other side of the border near Cincinnati for a long time but recently moved to Georgia. Ohio is a great state!
Ohio sucks
I should have shown you the script beforehand!
@@iammrbeat If you ever want me to appear in an Ohio video as an Ohioan, feel welcome to ask!
@@NyvalkOffical A case can be made for each and every of the 50 states (for now!) that they are either great or suck, depending on experience and criteria used. I have been to something like 36 of our states, and each of those has some wonderful aspects, though I am sure some downside as well. Glass half full or half empty? You decide!
This is why I look forward to Friday
Well I look forward to comments like these. Thank you for your support. :)
Ohioan here. I live in Columbus and we also (confusingly) don’t do Trick or Treat on Halloween most years. Great video, I also enjoy visiting Pennsylvania
What is the reason for Ohioan not tricking or treating if you don't mind sharing.
i think it’s because they don’t do it on weekends bc they are more drunk drivers
@@farismag Each community (at least where I live in Ohio) tends to have it's own schedule for when Halloween trick-or-treating is. Most times it's pushed to a weekend if Halloween lands on a weekday. This is mainly to avoid kids being out late when there's school the next day.
I grew up in Philly and I can say that you totally understated how bad the roads are in PA. The funny thing about it is that while the roads suck they're always doing construction, like, everywhere. That and Wawa is the best.
theyve been doing this one road near me for YEARS its never not under contruction
WAWA GANG!
@@jamiegreenberg8476 76?
@@ilikebobfish2238 its scary that you know exactly which road I'm talking about

Yeah it’s way better than the small boring foothills Ohio has
I would like to add that Ohio was the home of the Wright Brothers who created their airplane in Ohio, but did test flights on the sands of Kitty Hawk. Ohio is also the home of the first American to orbit the earth, John Glenn, and the first man to walk on the moon, Neil Armstrong. In all, 33 astronauts have come from Ohio.
Ulysses Grant came from there too
Goes to show why Ohio so fucked up because none of that is even true , a man could never go to the moon
@@billybob2329 Yep, along with 7 other presidents came from Ohio.
It's because everyone wants to get out of Ohio. I know I do. (but that's because I'm trans and Ohio is becoming increasingly inhospitable to me and my trans siblings)
@@purple-flowers Sorry to hear, hope it works out OK.
Don't forget the most northern battle of the Civil War, the The Battle of Schrute Farms!
So happy you covered Ohio and even more happy you collabed with my area of Ohio! We truly are the middle of the road state, in more ways than one if you know your music history. The rust belt is an area which is changing, would love to see a video about innovations in the rust blet like in Columbus the city which is really driving the change of this area.
As a former Yinzer, healthcare is huge in Pittsburgh. Most of the growth there is from Healthcare.
It’s the same here in the Philly suburbs. Healthcare has been a great boom for this state!
Grew up in Philly and currently in Pittsburgh and oh yeah can confirm
They are building hospitals around here like crazy. Its like u can drive 5 miles in any direction and there is a hospital.
@@kayzeaza I don't think that's exactly a good thing . .
Ay I live there
The fact that the Pittsburgh area is humid subtropical is just further proof that those words have completely lost their meaning. lol
Yeah... I grew up an hour north of Pittsburgh. There's nothing subtropical about this area.
That's because the technical meaning of "tropical" and what we think of as tropical aren't the same.
You've never been here in August, I presume
@@mindyb1986 I grew up south of Pittsburgh
Great video!!! From Ohio, but living in Kansas for past 28 years. Great to see pictures/videos of my home state. Born/raised in NE Ohio between Cleveland & Erie, PA, along the shores of beautiful Lake Erie. hopefully will get a chance to visit this year - of course at the "mercy" of the cooties.
I grew up in Cleveland (1952-84) and lived a year N of Cincinnati. Southern Ohiya is like KY. CLE is more E coast cityish, historically was settled from Connecticut. Also lived a year in Pittsburgh which is more provincial than CLE . We used to call Da Burgh “Cleveland without the glamour.” Hah. Both were industrial centers including steel making, lots of 19th C immigration. CLE doesn’t get tornados. Gets snow, but not as much as Buffalo. Lived 4 years in Lancaster County in the heart of Amish country. I found PA very different from OH. PA is more aware of history, Revolutionary and Civil War. Lancaster first settled 1720s. CLE founded 1793 I think. Also most of OH is flat, except around Cincy. PA is hillier and prettier. Rural OH is largely agricultural, PA has lots of coal mining. You can get great pierogis in CLE and PGH. I loved Da Burgh and Lancaster!
Cincinnati was responsible for the creation of the American Association, the National League's baseball rival in the 1880s because they wanted to serve beer.
@@sydhenderson6753 cool! I have fond memories of Beer Night at the Indians games. With hot dogs slathered in Ball Park Mustard!
Great video! Love these "Compared" videos. It's nice to see an excellent overview of these two states. Another CZcamsr did a video comparing these two states and it was lower quality to say the least.
I see both of you commenting on each other's videos
Holy crap it's Geography King! Um, sir you are wrong. I watched your video and it was amazing. You had Rocky references, for crying out loud. AND you dressed up. :D
GEOGRAPHY KING!!! LOVE YOUR VIDS. no offense Mr.Beat
Been looking forward to this! Fun Fact, Pennsylvania is the only state where its residents prefer the abbreviation, PA is much easier to say.
Same thing with Massachusetts, locals prefer to call it Mass or MA
COMMONWEALTH OF PA.
fr most ppl here straight up say pa its gotta sound weird to outsiders
A lot of people from other states also refer to Pennsylvania as Pa.
I was at a conference once with people representing like all 50 states. I introduced myself as being from “PA” and EVERY time I got the response: “where?” I’m just so used to it I never even considered other people would have no idea what I was saying…
I live in NE Ohio, just outside of Cleveland, and so I love being in this area! I really like the area I grew up in and still live there. Been to PA (especially Pittsburgh) many times because I have family there. Similarities definitely exist between western PA and eastern Ohio, although PA is more mountainous. But same weather, same history, same culture...but I love how it's basically lethal to be a Steelers fan in this part of Ohio (we're diehard Browns fans even though our team sucks), and vice versa for being a Browns fan in Pittsburgh. One of the new Steelers players, Mitch Trubisky, grew up in the same town as me and graduated from the same high school (and I'm a teacher there now). It truly is a great place to be and downtown Cleveland is a very nice area. It's made quite the comeback since the post-industrial decline. Love being close to Cedar Point, to Cleveland, to the country, to Pittsburgh, and to all the other fun places in border states. People crap on us a lot, but that's because they ain't us. :)
I’m from Ohio and the cost of living CAN be very affordable. I love it here.
And P.S. it’s absolutely gorgeous here!
I mean I think PA is better yep live is cheeper here in Ohio and PA lake house 500k not that bad to me
So much information! I'm going to have to watch again! I had no idea about the earlier history, and learned so much! Columbus is undergoing a revival. Lots of improvements in the downtown area. Businesses moving there too. Also, in Ohio, Amish country is a great day trip. good food, shops, and antiques. Thanks for this video!
Columbus is indeed a happening place.
Oh yeah. Amish make wood furniture
I grew up in CLE.When I was in college in the early Seventies Columbus was considered a backwards cowtown. Now it’s bigger than CLE!
Amish are in Holmes County OH as well as rural area E of CLE. I lived 4 years in Lancaster County heart of Amish country!
I live in Amish country lol...
Good ol Dalton ohio in Wayne County..
The candle taillights just trott by..🤣
I’m not letting the fact that I live in PA distract me from the gun show 💪
I can't watch the video yet but I'm from Ohio and I think I know what you mean already lol
The hills and trees are definitely the distinguishing feature in PA, I live in a neighborhood that's on a giant hill covered in trees. Also, you couldn't be more right about the gas stations. I've seen wawa, rutter's and sheetz all in PA, and they all have amazing food.
As a native Ohioan who grew up outside of Toledo but now lives in Dayton, it was nice to see that one real quick shot of our downtown at the 14:08 mark. Also, yeah, Casey's are everywhere here. Though we had a Wawa, it closed down before I moved here, unfortunately.
I think all of Southwest Ohio is beautiful, I think our 2 and 4 year colleges are some of the best in the nation as far as quality and price. There are of course like other cities, issues unique to themselves, but you can't beat the cost of living and traffic isn't really bad. 25 minutes outside of most urban areas it's you and the coyotes. Fishing and hunting.....all day and tomorrow. Love it!!!!
Yeah, I really, really love the whole area. I’m a college student right now, looking to finish off at a four year university at the end of the year, and I’m so happy to be doing that down here because there are so many quality universities to choose from in the Cincinnati/Dayton/Columbus area and living in Dayton places me an hour away from two of the three largest metro areas in the state.
I have lived in northeast Ohio actually not too far from the Ohio River and this was the first time I have ever heard about Casey's I am more familiar with wawa and scheetz but to be fair I have never been further west Ohio than Wooster and only been to Cincinnati once and Columbus 3x in my life never been to toledo. I have traveled south and north east outside of Ohio.
have lived in nw ohio my whole life (btw, love it) and have never heard of wawa's, casey's or sheetz. will have to check them out.
@@mistermattmoose grew up in the Anthony Wayne school district. Hadn’t heard of Casey’s nor seen a Casey’s until I moved to Dayton. Heard of Wawa via Always Sunny in Philadelphia. NW Ohio is great. Didn’t really appreciate it until I moved away. Though I sincerely love Dayton, too.
Nice to be watching this early. Love your content, Mr. Beat
Thank you!
@@iammrbeat
Can you do Louisiana and Arkansas pls?
Just a suggestion :)
Awesome, I’ve been waiting for this one. I live in Butler, a small city in western PA, and I can say we’re definitely very similar states. Many worn down factories but beautiful forests and waterways. Very nice states.
Hi Gage
@@jacobbray6279 Shut up Furry
Butler seems like a nice place.
My cousins grew up in Butler.
@@iammrbeat It’s a really nice place. I’ve lived a few places around here and they’ve all been great.
As a Pittsburgher I can tell you Western Pennsylvanians largely ignore Ohio and barely acknowledge its existence, as opposed to Philadelphia which we rarely even think about at all.
it's the same here in philly. we rarely ever talk about anything as far west as pittsburgh. we mostly just make fun of jersey lmao
Lmao this is so true, I see Philly people in the comments talking about rivalry and it’s apparently one sided 😂 I’m ALSO annoyed he called us “midwestern”??????
What makes no sense is anywhere in pa starts the “northeast”
Or east coast. Anywhere across the boarder to Ohio starts Midwest.
To drive from Pittsburgh to Steubenville, Ohio on Route 22, it's about a 25-mile trip that takes less than an hour.
However, based on geographical definitions of the states you travel through, you drive from the Northeast, into the South, and then to the Midwest in that very short drive.
I personally would've mentioned Perry's Victory during the part about the War of 1812, but I like this video! I would agree that comparing Ohio and East Pennsylvania is like comparing apples and oranges (I might even consider it a bit unfair) and as an Ohioan, I do have to mention how similar Pittsburgh can feel to Northeast Ohio. Btw thanks for mentioning our unique flag!
you should compare:
Louisiana and Arkansas
Massachusetts and Maryland
Iowa and Missouri
Virginia and West Virginia
Massachusetts and Connecticut is probably happening instead, but otherwise I think the other three are indeed going down.
@@iammrbeat glad to know
@@iammrbeat Yay! I'm from Connecticut so I'm looking forward to that one! Love the series by the way.
You really compare New York and Pennsylvania since they are both northeastern states and share many similarities.
Virginia and West Virginia is a must do
Anyone else notice how ripped Mr.Beat was?
I sure did.
His next video should be biceps vs. triceps.
When I was in the 4th grade in California in 82-83, we had California history. Today, I don't think most schools have any state history at all. It's shameful most students don't know a damn thing about their state. Videos Mr. Beat produces such as these, should be a precursor to state history. Teachers need to have some fun with these maybe for 2nd or 3rd grade students to get them interested in their state.
I remember in elementary school, our history classes were called "Ohio history," so we learned a lot about our state. This was mid-to-late 2000s. Not sure if it's part of the standards anymore. But then in middle and high school, you take more of the general histories (ancient history, world history, U.S. history, European history, etc). I think it'd be cool to replicate a state-based history course as an elective for high school students. I think it'd be very popular.
It’s so trendy to knock the electoral college. But the states would become virtually irrelevant if the electoral college was abolished. And the states are a vital check on the centralization of political power. The states and their populations are unique societies among a wider American society. We should not be homogenized into one single political unit, where the largest urban centers dictate policy to the whole nation.
It’s not as much of a check on the federal government as it is a way for smaller states to check larger states. The senate is the higher and more important chamber and Ohio and Pennsylvania have the same amount of senators as Wyoming and Vermont. While have probably close to 20x the population.
The electric cabbage is garbage.
@@cesars842 But... Every state has the same number of senators, which is 2. I'm assuming you're talking about representatives actually, right? That's the part of Congress which reflects the electoral college and state population.

as a new yorker, those look like the two most saddest pizzas that i’ve ever seen
New Yorkers and Chicago residents are definitely looking down on them.

@@UserName-ts3sp If you're from eastern Ohio, like the Bel-Aire area, DiCarlos is Stuebenville style. I don't really think it's a thing outside of that stretch on the Ohio river though
@@ThisIsAigle doesn’t exist outside of that area i guess. i live much closer to columbus
@@UserName-ts3sp might not. you should give it a try if you ever head to the area. though, it's hard to hunt up a DiCarlos anymore. but i'm sure there are other places with stubenville style pizza
I used to live in Pennsylvania and it seems like if your east of State college you consider yourself as Northeastern
I live west of state college and we never consider ourselves as Midwesterner. We are part of the northeast. However isn’t it interesting how similar these state are.
I'm in the west and consider all of Pennsylvania to be northeastern. Because, well, it is. I didn't think this was subjective or a matter of opinion.
I’m in a Philadelphia and I think we’re northeastern, but the whole state. But I can see how you could argue to cut it in half.
@@Galactipod I’m just wanting to know which part of western PA your from? I lived in Jefferson County close to Elk County.
Nah the whole state considers itself north eastern for sure, especially Pittsburgh. Being called midwestern almost feels like an insult lol. Ohio is on the boarder, but I’ve never heard PA be called midwestern ever lol
Cool video! Interesting historical comparison: you mentioned this briefly in the part about Erie, but the northern part of both OH & PA were claimed by Connecticut because its charter didn’t set a western boundary. PA even fought a “war” over it, that wasn’t settled until the 1790s.
At least in central PA, in addition to sheets and WaWa, we also have Rutters. Turkey Hill is more like a 7 eleven.
turkey hill is a STORE????? i just know it as a local brand what the hell (philly girl here)
I would say they are pretty similar, indeed. Population, size, location, culture.
Mos def
Not really. If you compare middle of Pennsylvania which is rural and backwoods it's more like Alabama.
@@tylerk4641Ohio has a lot of rural places too buddy PA has more people too overall
So the Ohio River essentially means “great river river”
Salsa sauce
Kind of like ATM machine
@@iammrbeat River Avon in the UK comes from the old Welsh word for river 'afon'. Story goes that the Romans asked what it was called and the Welsh inhabiting the area at the time replied 'it's a river; (afon).' Name stuck. River river.
The Los Angeles Angels
If you follow the Allegheny River north into NY you will find the Seneca nation referred to it as the Ohio River up there and of course the headwaters are found to the south in PA. Which means the Ohio River could be recognized as being much longer than the 981 miles it is reported as.
That was an awesome video! I’ve been studying up on Pennsylvania, and out of all the things I’ve read, I’ve learned more from you in this one video than all the others that I looked at. Thanks.
Hello, Mr. Beat
I’m a fan of your videos, especially the comparison ones. Would love to see the following comparisons if you can:
1) Nova Scotia vs New Brunswick
2) Quebec vs Ontario
3) Manitoba vs Saskatchewan
4) Northwest Territories vs Nunavut
For city comparisons, you could do:
1) Edmonton vs Calgary (Alberta)
2) Regina vs Saskatoon (Saskatchewan)
3) Saint John vs St. John’s (NB / NL)
Would love to hear your thoughts. Also willing to assist if necessary. I have lived in some of these places. Cheers.
Just thought of another place you could do.
Lloydminster, Alberta/Saskatchewan
vs
Flin Flon, Manitoba/Saskatchewan
Can confirm, Ohio is the most “average” state
It's about as 'Merica as 'Merica can get.
I live in Ohio, can confirm.
It is truly the heart of America
@@wildchaser9892 what’s great is that as an Illinois resident it essentially feels like little Ohio in the suburbs and rural areas. The rural areas in the Midwest all do manage to feel the same lol, well at least the northern parts.
both these states seem below average
Hello. Love your channel. I really enjoy watching the states compared and learn cool facts about each state. The next states to compare I would say are Virginia and West Virginia and/or Virginia and Maryland.
“Pennsylvania is not a coastal state”
*me a resident of Philadelphia looking at the navy yard and other such places* “debatable”
compare New york city and New york state, Also thanks for the president song you made for me.
Yes!
Upstate vs. Downstate would definitely be a fun video
@@iammrbeat In NY folks struggle breaking up the state in Half, One map doing this, even had the state division broken up that broke up a county which made no sense.
Country/state/city comparisons are my favorites, and you do a lot of good videos. Excellent work yet again Mr. Beat.
Good to know! Thank you!
15:03, Mr Beat forgot that PA has Valley Forge National Park. It's 20 minutes outside of Philly.
Doesnt the Allegheny National Forrest count as well?!
@@caiteohle9878 sure does
Thank you so much for letting me collab with you! It was truly a pleasure!
Great job on your video!
I was at a sheetz in pittsburgh last night and saw a grown man wearing cowboy boots and basketball shorts.
Sounds like a Casey's in Kansas
Was he buying chew too?
@@hollowhoagie6441 don't know if he bought it, but he had some in his cheek already
@@LundenVagrant
Must have been some very short shorts then!
I swear, every time I see a video about Ohio they always bring up the Longaberger Basket building. The one thing my home town is known for is a building that looks like a basket. I do love Ohio though living in Columbus is great, it is a wonderful city
Hey, fellow Newark resident haha!
Columbus is a flat flyover wasteland
My professor asked everyone in class what book helped us the most in life thus far.
I chose my father’s checkbook.
Thank you for making this I feel blessed
As a person from PA, I never known most of these, thanks Mr. Beat
Well that's wonderful to hear actually!
Fell asleep half way through and ended up watching 3 hours of history videos on auto-play lol
Mr Beats, did Penn design Philadelphia and London's community grid (plots and streets)? I reas a book that brought up a developer from England and his influence on Philadelphia. Thanks
We got this pretzel shop in central PA and omg they're amazing pretzels. It started out as a local thing but they're slowly expanding throughout PA
Oh man I’m from PA and I’ve been waiting for this
REPRESENT! Which part?
@@iammrbeat Bucks 😁
I was hoping for an Ohio-Michigan comparison, due to their intense rivalry, but this worked just as well.
As someone who lived in Toledo for many years, the highways in Ohio are very good compared to neighboring states. On I-75, there is a very clear difference in quality between the MI side and the OH side.
Also, the cost of living there is amazingly low. When I started my PhD program, I was able to buy a two-story, 3 bedroom house on a graduate assistant salary and on my own credit alone. Of course, it probably helped that I bought it in 2015, when the housing market was pretty much at rock bottom before finally rebounding in later years.
T-O-L..
browns and steelers
I’ve been binge watching your videos and I’ve never realized how buff you are until now
I'm an Ohioan but spend more time in Pittsburgh... I always say my heart is in Pittsburgh but I am Ohio minded and after watching this made me understand why I am this away
Mr Beat, can you please make a video comparing Malaysia and Indonesia. Thank you very much.
Definitely!
Yes Mr Beat
do Connecticut and Massachusetts next or Delhi and Mumbai Compared and Haiti and the Dominican Republic compared.
Right on right on right on
Oooh!! Good ones! I also second Haiti and Dominican Republic. I grew up amongst many, my family comes from neighbouring countries. There's rivalry between the two, yet they're so similar. Another thing often dismissed is that Haitians are also Latin Americans (French language) and their culture has greatly influenced the trendy music that the world often associates with that part of the globe.
Also Calgary vs. Edmonton in Canada.
How about Zambia and Zimbabwe, the two countries that are home to one of the seven world wonders, Victoria Falls?
Growing up in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and WV tristate area a lot of video look familiar. Before BP was BP it was Ohio Gas (there is Penz Oil). Both Penn State and Ohio State are now Big 10. Cedar Point versus Kennywood.
actually, before bp was bp it was sohio here in ohio. (standard of ohio).
Great video Mr. Beat! Slight edit at around the 8:20 mark. Their names are actually Jeremiah Dixon and Charles Mason (I think you may have mixed up their last names). Again great video as always!
Awesome video Mr Beat! I may be partial to Ohio since i live there, but Pennsylvania definitely has amazing scenery around the Pocono Mountains. I live close to a Sheetz, never been to a Casey's but will go in search of one soon.
You almost pulled off an @Atun-Shei level of sponsorship break there!
lol what a compliment!
Love your content Mr.Beat:), also may you Virginia vs. Maryland next thank you:).
As a native Pennsylvanian, I can confirm that Pennsylvania is not midwestern at all
Thanks for making this!
Heck yeah. Thanks for watching!
Mr. Beat getting swole, those arms are T H I C C
Love it!
Theres one reason Pennsylvania has a higher violent crime rate: Philadelphia (the city of brotherly love)
Yet Youngstown, a city in Ohio about twenty times smaller than Philly, has a comparable crime rate.
My mom's family have been in Ohio since before statehood in 1803. I love these videos.
Yours videos are freaking fantastic.
Ohio has the mythical YT Channel "Gas Station Encounters"
And PA has the electric city. Ohio can't top that.
Ohio has Brewstew as well
MUST SEARCH THAT NOW.
@@jev2359 Ohio has the Buckeyes
I feel like I’m in history class watching this, but I love it. Very informative and a lot of interesting facts I never knew.
I’ve been waiting for this
Love these two states. Especially in terms Politics and Culture
Definitely
Culture? Ohio! 😄
@@worldtipper you've clearly never been to amish country
@@buckeye5689 Yes I have.
no one talks about PA in my option
I like how you switch between “English” and “British” around the time Scotland & England officially joined to form Great Britain (1707). Not sure if it’s deliberate though lol
In Ohio the weathes is worst here in PA we get more sunny days... I like Ohio because is mostly flat land
I have lived in both states and I enjoy that you have also included video in many cities which I have called home over the years.
I am particularly impressed that video of Zelienople appears at 3:00. Such a small town that I called home for many years until I moved about a year ago.
Am going to be moving BACK to Ohio in 2022!
Cost of living in PA can be summed up easily. Milk costs more than gas per gallon. In Ohio, that was a sign that a store would not be around much longer.
Great video. Please do a Maryland Deware comparared video
That shave break was too funny 🤣
Glad you dug it! lol
You should have mentioned how Philly was originally Swedish, and it’s flag’s colors resemble the Swedish flag for it :p
Well at least I mentioned the Swedes settling the area at one point. Most outside of the area don't know that.
Interesting fact, the traditional American log cabin that Abe Lincoln and many others were grew up in was actually brought to us by the Finns via New Sweden (Finland was controlled by Sweden at the time). So that's probably New Sweden's biggest contribution to our culture.
Wow
Only in Ohio
STOP MAKING OHIO MEMES
"Lets talk about the Amish"
My car: Sweats Nervously
fuckin horse buggies dud
many people know about ohio having the candidate winning the election by winning the state till 1960 and 2020 but nevada has had the candidate winning the election by winning the state ever since 1976 except for 2016 election
So, "as goes Nevada, so goes the nation"? (It used to be Maine, but I dunno what their record has been like since the '50s or so.)
@@andyjay729 Maine didn't start to vote Democratic until 1964. It used to be the North was dominated by Republicans while the South was dominated by Democrats. Now, it's the opposite.
@@fennekinflames7095 The Republicans used to be progressives (Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt), the Democrats used to be conservatives (Andrew Jackson, Millard Fillmore, James Buchanan). The change occurred in increments between the 1930s and the 1960s. Of course, before about the Vietnam era and the accompanying protests, the old Democrats did things that, say, AOC would call "fascist", and the old Republicans did things that, say, Marjorie Taylor Greene would call "communist".
@@andyjay729 they seriously need to teach this stuff in schools.
@@andyjay729 Fillmore wasn't a democrat
Great video!! Have you ever thought about comparing Michigan’s upper and lower peninsula??
Most definitely! And thank you!
No comparison the lower peninsula sucks and the UP is awesome in july. But the best is Michigan's lost peninsula which is only accessible from ohio
Nice vid, subbed, and went to Geography Joe and subbed too!
I’m originally from Youngstown, Ohio and sliver in grove city, Pa for 6 years. Currently in rock hill, South Carolina. Love this video mr beat!
