Look at a satellite image of Pennsylvania at night, and you'll notice something strange. The southeast explodes with light — Philadelphia and its sprawling suburbs glowing bright. But as your eyes move west, the lights fade into darkness. Millions live in the east. The west? Nearly empty. Why does one half of this state hold almost all the people?
In this video, we uncover how the Appalachian Mountains created an invisible wall that shaped Pennsylvania's destiny for over 300 years. From Philadelphia's rise as colonial America's greatest city to Pittsburgh's dramatic boom and bust with steel, we explore the geography, history, and economics that divided one state into two completely different worlds — one thriving and connected, the other isolated and struggling to find its future.
