"You know I kind of miss funnel cakes, which was a Pennsylvania thing" Uh, hit up *any* county/state/national holiday festival in the entire goddam country and get you some funnel cake. But yeah, sure - let's call it a PA thing out of misguided nostalgia.
I mean everywhere I get calls them Pennsylvania Dutch, consider that part of the reason carnival and fair rides often have Alpine theming (and honestly even smaller indie amusement parks have pretty German-ass fairy tale theming, and why even Six Flags parks will have Oktoberfest-ass beer hall band shells) is that a lot of American amusement fair culture is honestly pretty German-tinted, and a lot of it specifically comes out of German-settled Pennsylvania and Ohio
You ever think about how the Disneyland logo
is in a Blackletter font, underneath a banner-flying castle representing the central feature of the park, modeled on Neuschwanstein Castle in Disney’s Brothers Grimm period?
