I was born and raised in PA. Joined the military and spent time in GA, NC, KY, KS, Germany, SKorea, AL, MD and finished up with two years in PA. When I got out I found a job in Louisiana that was a pretty good fit and have been here ever since...almost 13 years now. I get back to PA to visit my folks once or twice a year, but if it weren't for them, I wouldn't look back, and they've said if they were a little younger, they'd consider moving down here.
Louisiana would probably be too dang hot and muggy for us. And don’t you swat a mosquito with a 2x4 down there? ;^)
