Maybe you've seen some Rite Aid stores closed in your area. Also, it's not just a local thing. Rite Aid is closing around 100 locations across the U.S. I have good memories of going to Rite Aid to get random items, such as makeup or holiday decorations. So, it's disheartening to hear of them closing. What's more, the list of Pennsylvania Rite Aid stores closing is pretty long, and the full list is below.
Rite Aid has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, so they're closing about 100 stores nationwide in conjunction with their restructuring efforts. Currently, the stores closing are in 12 states, and they include leased and owned stores, according to A&G Real Estate Partners. Furthermore, the states where Rite Aid stores are closing include California (17 stores), Maryland (4), Michigan (16), New Jersey (8), New York (17), Ohio (4), Oregon (2), Pennsylvania (17), New Hampshire (2) and Washington (10), Alabama (1), Idaho (1). Also, Rite Aid isn't alone in its woes. Pharmacy chains have been struggling in the U.S., as they try to compete with online retailers such as Amazon, as well as chains such as Walmart, Target and Costco that are becoming more popular options to get medication.
What's more, in a press release, Rite Aid said they plan to give employees at closing stores the ability to transfer to other locations "where possible." Moreover, Rite Aid has 45,000 employees.
"Rite Aid has served customers and communities across our country for more than 60 years, and the important actions we are taking today will enable us to move ahead as a stronger company," Jeffrey S. Stein, Rite Aid chief executive officer, chief restructuring officer and a member of their Board of Directors, said in a statement. Also, he added, "With the support of our lenders, we look forward to strengthening our financial foundation, advancing our transformation initiatives and accelerating the execution of our turnaround strategy."

Of course, people come from all over the world to enjoy Pennsylvania's historical sites and attractions. But, even those living in Pennsylvania should take the time to enjoy a vacation at home and venture to an area that they've never been before. This state truly has some magical Pennsylvania places to visit this season, or any season.
Before I get into the list of the 10 magical Pennsylvania places to visit, I want to highlight one favorite spot. As a chocolate lover, I have to say that Hershey is one of the best tourist spots in the area. Hersey is known for its family-friendly attractions, but adults can enjoy what the area has to offer, too. I mean, who doesn't love chocolate?
If you're heading to Hersey, one must-visit spot is Hersheypark. This is a massive amusement park. It offers 121 acres of outdoor attractions, including full-sized coasters, mellow family rides and an exciting waterpark. The park offers more than a dozen coasters, giving thrill-seekers plenty of options. Other attractions include the Lazy River or seeing a show at the Hersheypark Stadium, GIANT Center and Hershey Theatre. Some of the recent shows that have traveled through Hersheypark over the past few years include Lady Gaga, Five Finger Death Punch and "The Book of Mormon," so a wide variety of entertainment options. Also, for adults vacationing in Hersheypark, beverage and beer carts are available in the park, as well as some restaurants to stop off and get a brew.
But, let's get into the rest of Pennsylvania. Read on for 10 magical Pennsylvania places to visit this season, or any season. Whether you live in the Keystone State or far from it, this list will give you some good ideas of vacation spots, if you want to be in the state. Have more travel destinations for the list?

10 Magical Pennsylvania Places to Visit
Hickory Run State Park
Hickory Run State Park is about an hour and 40 minutes from Philadelphia and four and a half hours from Pittsburgh. It's a beautiful spot with two lakes, a boulder field and more than 40 miles of hiking trails. That's not to mention the gorgeous waterfalls.
Gettysburg
If you're looking for a tourist haven in Pennsylvania, look no further than Gettysburg. There's obviously so much history here. During the Halloween season, this is a great choice, because they offer a ghost tour. The tour is available year-round, but it's extra perfect around Halloween. Of course, visitors can tour the roughly 6,000-acre Gettysburg National Military Park and more.
Hershey
Hershey is often called "The Sweetest Place on Earth." Of course, it's the home of Hershey's Chocolate. Here, you'll find Hershey's Chocolate World, tour of the facility to watch how Hershey's chocolate and candy are made and more. I want some chocolate right now.
The Poconos
The Poconos offer a great adventure for anyone in the area. This mountain range is located in northeastern Pennsylvania. It features several state parks packed with waterfalls, forests, lakes and streams, so it's a truly magical place. It's also great for hiking, swimming, camping and horse riding.
Allegheny National Forest
Allegheny National Forest is actually Pennsylvania's only national forest. Anyone who loves the outdoors would likely take in this spot, with more than 500,000 acres of pure forest. The forest also has a reservoir for fishing, windsurfing and water skiing and more water fun. It's really the perfect, remote getaway.
Hyner View State Park
If you want social media-worthy images, then Hyner View State Park is for you. Stationed in north-central Pennsylvania, this quaint park overlooks the Susquehanna River and offers a gorgeous, complete view of the river and surrounding mountains. It's a choice spot for hang gliding, too.
Lake Wallenpaupack
If water is your thing, then try visiting Lake Wallenpaupack during the warm months. What's crazy is that this is actually a man-made lake. It's huge and one of the largest in the state, at about 5,700 acres. Some things to do there in the summer include water skiing, swimming, boating, kayaking and more. Oh, and don't forget camping, which is big around these parts.
Philadelphia
Be a tourist in your own town and visit Philadelphia this season. Philly is one of America's favorite tourist destinations. It offers the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall and many other historical landmarks. Philadelphia also has an award-winning Zoo, the Philadelphia Zoo, and countless museums. There's lots to do in Philly no matter the season.
Pittsburgh
On the west side of the state, you'll find Pittsburgh, which offers lots of travel fun. While it might not be considered quite as big a travel destination and Philly, it's getting there. One big draw is the Andy Warhol Museum, which offers a huge collection of the late pop-art great's work. Oh, and if you're feeling daring, try the Duquesne Incline, which takes riders to the top of Mount Washington.
Leonard Harrison State Park
The Leonard Harrison State Park offers an incredible view of the PA Grand Canyon, often called the Pine Creek Gorge. What's extra special is that Leonard Harrison State Park offers a food truck concession during the summertime, so it's easy and fun to get some local grub while you're enjoying the nature.
