Pennsylvania

[Liza]

Well, my dad got a new job, and it looks like my parents are gonna be moving to Pennsylvania by March. Anyone here been there? I've only ever been through the airport. :wave:

[Brian Damage]

I don't live there, but have been there a few times. I hate it, but that's just me. Sorry if I offended anybody from PA.

[¤I Love Clay Aiken¤]

I love PA!

[Mijada]

My sister has been there and she says it is very pretty.

[F*O*L 1988]

I live in PA!!!!:cool:


I love it here, but of course I've never lived anywhere else, so what do I know?
It IS a pretty state. Especially in fall. Lot's of mountains and hills and stuff.
And Brian, I'm not offended.;)

PA isnt all mountains and stuff. i live more in the city. Its really nice, its got everything. Big Mall, Nice movie theaters,there an amusement park thats like 5 mins away from my house that everyone hangs out at, nice pools, theres some mountains if u ski or snowboard,nice parks and other stuff.


its not really boring if you live here, I wouldnt wanna visit because if your on vacation it probably is boring.

[*Melissa*]

I live in PA. Pittsburgh area.

[~LadyJess~]

I've never been there but both me and my best friend have family that live there. Hers are more sort of immediate family, mine are like cousins 6 times removed. :lol:

[*PinkLady*]

I've been to PA to visit family friends, but I've only seen the (very) small part they live in.

[~Tropical Punch 19~]

Pa is neatO. GO STEELERS! (obviously my family is from the Pittsburg area) but yeah it's ool. Lot's of mountains, but lot's of attractions. I bet it is really cool to be there ein the winter-lot's of snow. (no pun intended lol) I have been there like 6 times. LOTS of famiy lives there.

Wow, good memory! Yeah, he got offered a job there, but decided to turn it down. Too bad - I really was interested in that area. Have fun!

But we're moving to Harrisburg - and I'm just glad we're out of Michigan! (Great state, but we've been there for 14 years!) So, anyone here from the Harrisburg area? It's not that far away from Philly, is it?

Eek, I should know my American geography a lot better than this... :lol:

What part of Pennsylvania are you moving to? It's one of the bigger states in the Northeast, and like any big place, there are nice areas, and not so nice areas.

[LucyCompanyPhan]

Harrisburg!?!?! hmmm thats not too far from Philly. I'm 45 mins away from Philly. Phillys not too great tho. Harrisburg is about 75 miles away from where i am. Which is Allentown. I've passed thru Harrisburg, but never been there.

[Titania]

i live in PA- outside of philly, few hours from harrisburg.

sometimes i really like it- theres a lot of history in the city, hershey, country, etc...
other times i dont because i live in the middle of no where- but the city isnt far away and i love philly, everyone from philly loves it, some just wont admit it. ;)
ive been to harrisburg a few times, its not a bad city.

Yea, there aren't that many people here from Colorado, so I remember everyone, lol. The only other ones I know of are Michelle (bjntmrsgtbbsd) and Lynn (Lynn), lol.

[Brett Ferino]

And from the Michigander - is it "soda" or "pop" in Pennsylvania? :lol:
