The most expensive toll road in the USA is the Pennsylvania Turnpike. It costs $45.75 to go from Ohio state line to Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, a distance of 193.76 miles

With a median annual household income of $27,034, the northern California town of Clearlake is the poorest town in the state. Clearlake's poverty rate of 35.9% is more than double the poverty rate of 15.1% across the state as a whole.

California has some of the most expensive real estate in the country. Home values are often a reflection of what area residents can afford, however Clearlake is the only town in the state where most homes are worth less than $100,000.

"Home to some of the wealthiest and some of the poorest towns in the United States, New York has the worst income inequality of any state. In New Square, a small town in southern New York, most households earn $24,000 a year or less. Meanwhile, less than 60 miles away, in the Long Island neighborhood of East Hills, the typical household earns $199,000 a year. New Square also has a poverty rate of 64.4% -- the highest in both the state and the country."

What is not in the description above is the reason for it's poverty. New Square is an all-Hasidic village in the town of Ramapo, Rockland County, New York. It is located north of Hillcrest, east of Viola, south of New Hempstead, and west of New City. As of the 2010 census, it had a population of 6,944. Its inhabitants are predominantly members of the Skverer Hasidic movement who seek to maintain a Hasidic lifestyle disconnected from the secular world.

Being originally from NYS and travelling extensively throughout the entire state, I never heard of New Square . . . and I'm Jewish, but not a Hasidic Jew.

Australian researchers believe they have found an antidote to a sting from the world's most venomous creature, the much-feared box jellyfish. Running tests using human cells and mice, the team found it could stop tissue scarring and pain associated with the sting as long as the medicine was injected within 15 minutes.
