20+ years in Raleigh from Indiana County.

Pittsburgh Dad like someone mentions. Trips to Kennywood when I come home. Gallikers iced tea and smiley cookies.

Love to visit, but it's not home for me. Got a family here now.

I do enjoy schoolin' folks down here on what are gumbands, redding up, school being off the Monday after Thanksgiving for first day of deer hunting (does that still happen?), gobs, and others.

But, I did single handedly get Sheetz to come down here almost 20 years ago, so that's good.

Countryside Cottages, in Bartonsville, Pa. It’s in the pocono region, but it’s exactly what you’re looking for. It’s cabins of various sizes. There’s also a pool and nice space to hold a wedding. The maintenance is on site, so they can assist with anything you need 24 hours. Here’s the website:

Oh, boy.

I never said “unmarried for tax reasons,” I pointed out that many widows/widowers will lose all of their pension and social security benefits if they remarry. That’s not about taxes, it’s about survival.

The Fed absolutely does tax 401(k) benefits.

Found families are taxed at 15% by PA. Lineal descendants are taxed at 4.5%, siblings at 12%. So yes, they are absolutely treated differently.
