Heading back south from Buffalo to Pittsburgh, we took some back roads.  A fast-moving thunderstorm line had some rotation in it as we passed underneath.

We stopped in the pretty little postcard town of Grove City, Pennsylvania on the way up to Buffalo from Pittsburgh.

The town is extremely well-maintained and beautiful.

There is a college in town as well.
