PA is a good state, minus Philly, Pittsburgh, Allentown, Reading, Scranton, Upper Darby, Marcus Hook,...
Most of it’s rural. We’ll have access from those cesspools blocked when the SHTF.
Same with NorthCarolina here.
Take away all the big cities... Charlotte, Raleigh/Durham... and the associated yuppy-filled, starbucks-drinking soccermom suburbs, and you are left with great rural countryside.
NC is 90% rural farmland and mountains. It is the 10% of the cities that have turned this into a purple... almost blue state.
I am fortunate enough to live in the dairy farms of the Appalachian foothills. I avoid Charlotte any way possible. Its like two different countries, 20 miles apart.
I am told Virginia is the same way... eastern side and western side are different as night and day.
I live outside Pittsburgh. Even though the city is Democrat, there are a LOT of vets here, and lots of good people.
You forgot Chester. LOL
