Definitely a small world! And I hear you about the libs - from what I remember, that whole area of PA is pretty left-leaning. Hard to understand why.
Yes it is hard to understand why because within the last foru years many business have opened in Hazleton and their is a real estate boom in the entire area. I would love to put up a sign "thank Bush". But they do not see it that way. Eight years of Clinton and this place was crapola.
