Harrisburg is nice I lived there for a few year while in school, bar tended at the coyote hardware bar too, now that was an experience!

I was there when they got the desist letter from the real Coyote Ugly bars, but by then everyone knew it as the coyote hardware bar.

I HATE the atmosphere in Philadelphia now... too much crime and traffic, like a mini NYC (please Philly fans, don't flame me! I'm a country girl) I live closest to that main city, but that's not my city. I'm just east of Amish country (also getting congested) but I absolutely LOVE <3 Potter County, Mansfield, Blossburg, all north of Willamsport. PA has a lot of lovely scenery but I heard Pittsburgh is the pits due to the steel mills, but I have a friend from there and she's die-hard loyal to Pitt. I've never been there, just get impressions from media propaganda I guess.

Really? You got to get out of the 80s. It's called travel, and 250 miles isn't far. I don't think you will find many steel mills in dat dare Pitts. Maybe you can find something interesting while you're at it. Like the Warhol museum, one of the best skylines in America, interesting neighborhoods, the Carnegies, Phipps conservatory, interesting terrain, etc etc. Not just dem dare pitts.

I lived there for 4 years, and I really and truly do love Cleveland. Then again, I am a Great Lakes girl 110%. July 4th really solidified that for me. I'm not mean to live on the east coast. I do much better in the midwestern culture.




And I agree 100%. Cleveland really does ROCK! Now lets just hope LeBron stays there.....
you gotta be kidding me. Philly rocks cleveland no contest. cleveland is a dump. If I was going to be in a midsize city, Pittsburgh wins hands down over cleveland. never been to erie, i gettysburg really has gotten attractive over the years. also, bethlehem is underrated.

If you think Cleveland is a dump, then you would not be too excited over Erie, trust me. Presque Isle is nice though.
