I agree. I live in Schuylkill county and wanted to read through this for a laugh of these liberals are in packs. I know a Wildly disproportionate amount of gay people you’ll find in bars and clubs here because straight people don’t go out as much. I knew less gay people in Centre county than here. I use that term all inclusive, I knew of a trans guy too. Adams county has an outlandish gay pride thing every year in Gettysburg.

Tbh, all you wanna do there is pass through

I love new hope so much, I have been often! Just sadly it’s out of our budget for homes. :(

Please feel free to correct me with facts. Not MAGA fantasy.

More likely you haven't visited the right pockets of Pittsburgh.. you go two blocks over and suddenly you feel like you're in Lancaster only they eat gobs instead of moon pies. Pittsburgh itself is a bit bipolar like that.

I've lived in both Pittsburgh and Philly.. Philly feels more like living in Chicago, San Diego, Phoenix, Seattle (other places I've lived). Pittsburgh is rather unique and boonies in its own way.

Whether I'm around Danville, Gettysburg, York, Lancaster, Sharon, Oil City, etc. there is definitely a sort of commonality although it's hard to describe.

I would recommend highly getting paper copies.

Also, you can get inspections done 2 months early, it's typically worth it.

Monessen has quite a few good restaurants.

Tom Savini i think you mean

You see, your rant is precisely why a lot of people don't want to believe anything nowadays.

Even when the lies and frauds are exposed, the perpetrators double down.

Howdy, neighbor 👋

Harrisburg is fine, but there's a sudden drop off about maybe five miles out.

A lot of other areas are fine too, from a feeling safe point of view, but then there's always this sense that you need to make the town better rather than actually just being happy where you live and enjoying what's already there.

When I lived in Seattle, especially... you'd just turn a corner and walk into some memorable and wonderful experience. Out in the PA boonies, you have to actively look for things and they're few and far between.

New Hope PA is a very lovely town with a small yet vibrant LGBT culture if you're looking for towns to move to.

These are like parodies. Literally no one cares about your sexuality.

The angle of the hill. Relatively gentle rises are often referred to as hills here. Whereas no one I know out in western PA would count the same rise as a hill.

He’s a lot of (shitty) things but he isn’t fat.

The red areas aren't actually that bad. But I'd definitely avoid the burgundy ones.

The downside to my red district is that I know my local votes don't matter at all. We do have a Dem state rep amazingly enough but he's of the Joe Manchin school of being a Democrat (none the less, they are really trying to push him out now that the Dems gained control of the state house... holy cow the political ads I'm getting right now are weekly attack ads in March).

Thank you so much ❤️

Check out Savage River Lodge. It's in Western Maryland but close to PA border. We stayed there a few years ago and it was lovely. They do weddings too.

🙄. Pennsylvania is known nationally for being very different between city and the boonies.
Maube it’s been a while for you but Lancaster and Pittsburgh don’t have a ton in common.

Chester county or Delco would be my vote.

In my town in Lancaster county, the poverty rate is 5%, and the town I used to live in is 17%. Salaries are also significantly higher where I live now, the area is growing, and downtown is busy. Where I'm from, the population is shrinking pretty quickly, and lots of downtowns are filled with mostly empty shops. So comparatively, it's much greener in some ways. But I still like it out there.

But you are correct. It is still Pennsylvania.
