RE: Hmm where is my Pittsburgh
How’s the weather like in your part of town?
I have plenty of folks I know whose children go to Grove City College just an hour from Pittsburgh. The kids use to go there during the weekends just to have a good time ( although I wonder what’s there to do at night... ).
Grove City has slightly longer and crappier winters than we do here, but the worst of ours last only about six weeks. While the rest of the country is roasting, we in the Laurel Highlands and foothills enjoy nice summer evenings which top out in the low 80's, usually less, more fireflies than mosquitoes, white water rafting, hunting, fishing and camping. And many of us like the fact that there is little to do at night other than shopping the deli at Giant Eagle or picking up a frosty at Wendy's.
If you really can't stand the quiet life, Pittsburgh is only an hour's drive away, same as GCC.
Another plus: We are trending conservative big time. In 1984, Walter Mondale managed to eek out a narrow win in the Reagan landslide. Just 24 years later, ObaMao barely cracked 40% and we were one of only two major areas of the country where the GOP presidential ticket actually polled better than it did in 2004.
