I say his policies don’t go too far enough!

Morgantown resident here. Morgantown is a wonderful place to live. They semi-recently put in a casino off the turnpike which some residents weren’t happy about but it doesn’t impact much of what goes on in town. Struble Lake is nearby and popular for kayakers and fishermen. There are nearby parks available. There are two gun clubs/shooting ranges nearby. Lots of roadside produce stands in summer, very little crime, very affordable properties, and close proximity to Downingtown, Lancaster, Reading, Phoenixville, Pottstown, West Chester. In truth, we don’t have a fun walkable downtown like Phoenixville with cool bars and restaurants. It’s quiet and friendly. There are lots of Amish out this way so biking on route 23 is very common. Morgantown isn’t trendy and the people here like it that way.

You would be extremely close to French Creek State Park so there's this:

But there's a bunch of other parks around to get that itch. Not so sure for kayaking, other than it's best to register it just in case.

I was very displeased to move here at my now ex-wife's insistance. Now I am am stuck with a ridiculous tax burden (4th highest in the nation), local income tax, fees for everfuckingthing, and the worst roads in the known universe. Fortunately, I live in the woods so the critters make up for some of it.

Not bad, you have french creek state park and marsh creek state park a short drive away. Both allow mountain bikes and non gas boats, kayaks, and paddle boarding. sailing on marsh creek too. ive explored marsh creek much more it has a lot of mountain biking trails and is great for kayaking. also look up the Lock 60 kayak loop in pheonixville, thats a cool loop that takes you down the river, walk/drag your kayak through the woods for a minute then take the lock back to the parking lot. its pretty sweet.

I lived there for a couple of years (2016-2019). It’s a nice enough place but there’s really not a lot going on there. Very small town and you’ll have to go 20-30 minutes away to get anything you can’t get at the Walmart, Lowes, or gas stations in town. French Creek state park is near by and I’ve seen people biking the trails before. Warwick county park is also close and has nice trails for hiking. Overall I’d say it’s more of a farm vibe than outdoorsy vibe.

My wife and I liked it for the most part, but we moved to Pottstown a few years ago and have enjoyed being a little closer to civilization while still being reasonably close to any outdoor activities.

There's a huge landfill there, there was a small stone quarry next to it that I used to run

Someone said Phoenixville, good place to start, better than Morgantown. It's also very close to Valley Forge National Park which is pretty big.

Phoenixville has a great little downtown too and SEPTA is going to put in a commuter rail line in the next few years

Little south of that is an area called phoenixville… literally along the schyukil river for kayaking/ paddle boards. Biking trails that connect north towards Lehigh valley and south towards philly

I live near Jim Thorpe and mountain bike. Honestly you'd probably be better off in the Carbon County area by what you're describing. Relatively easy access to Philly by Turnpike from either the Mahoning Valley or 903 exit.

Probably was, but she didn't bring her own concert grand. :)

They generally won't get picked

Could have been a volunteer...

I once visited a hospital with a concert grand piano in its lobby and someone who was obviously not an amateur playing it. Of course that's not dispositive of the issue at hand, but it didn't give me nonprofit vibes.

Oh wow I never considered that. I went to school for poli Sci and have considered getting my paralegal certification. Also trying to get a job in the court house and it took your comment for me to realize that may make future trips to jury duty a non-starter.

I went once, sat for four hours and wasn't selected. Got my fancy 12 dollar check a couple weeks later. But I enjoyed the experience getting to see the court process in action.

So anyone working in the justice system shouldn't be a juror?

None of that should be a crime.

Yeah. I unfortunately think you missed a big part of this article, Cheekclapper412… all of the words in it.

Did not think I’d come across MF Doom lyrics today but here we are with Rapp Snitch Knishes! Nice.

They had a warrant that let them search for a fugitive. Not go through this guys personal belongings... Read the article

Absolutely!

This is the way!

Bring the baby with you!

And the woman who runs the jury duty in Philly is hilarious!

I was summoned for this, but I worked 3rd shift and watched our children during the day. Got to sleep from 5 30ish to 10:30. Called them explained my situation and they said no problem.

Im sure you are in a similar situation. Give them a call.

So the PA jury system loves me, I've been summoned 11 times and served on a federal and local jury. They will definately take a "hardship" as an excuse I've used a couple lol
