PITTSBURGH - Of the 20,000 or so sayings submitted for consideration as Pennsylvania's official tourism slogan, some were easily eliminated, like "Pennsylvania: We're old. We're cranky. Deal with it."
But 18 entries are still in the running to be picked as one of the five finalists by the Pennsylvania Tourism Office in early 2004. After that happens, the public can vote for the winner on the tourism office's website, www.visitpa.com.
Some slogans still in the running are: "Pennsylvania: We're expecting you," "Pennsylvania: The cure for the common vacation," and "Pennsylvania: Oh what a state you'll be in."
Gov. Ed Rendell announced the slogan effort shortly after taking office. Among the thousands of initial entries were some deemed not suitable, such as "Pennsylvania: Gateway to New Jersey."
:idealightbulb: Hey, since PA didn't use the "We're old. We're cranky. Deal With It" slogan, maybe MD can use it!
