Reply #24: I'm from Pennsylvania and it isn't that bad

[mvd]

In fact, my relatives from Clearfield and Centre counties are hard-working, down to earth, and have some roots as Democrats. I'm sure PA has its share of racists, but it seems that rural PA people are more known for their guns than racism. They also fall into the "family values" line too much.

PA is fine to raise a family in because of the non-hectic lifestyle and all of the towns (PA towns really haven't changed too much), but its older population can detract.

From what I've seen, West Virginia probably isn't a great place to raise a family.
