[PennsylvaniaMom]

I feel your pain. And I really can’t disagree on anything you posted...especially the taxes (I’n guessing you’re in Allegheny County, perchance in the city limits?) I’m out in Westmoreland County (property taxes aren’t as bad YET...school taxes are up and up and up). I too am ready to move (south). Hubby might (and this is a big might...but boy I am praying it happens) get moved to Tennessee for work. Other than Steeler and Penquin games, I don’t think I’ll look back either (if were lucky enough to go).

Yuppers on Allegheny county... Right outside of the city...Crafton. My family has lived in the same house ofrgoinmg on 4 generations and I think this will be the last..at least in the same house. My daughter and her husband live a few streets away...my oldest son and his wife live in a house in the city's West End, about a mile or two away.

I get the feeling both son and daughter will be here long after I'm gone. Maybe my youngest son who graduates from Carlynton next summer will move out.

My wife's family also has a small farm in Mercer - a few miles from where my family used to have around 20 acres on Shanango - and going there keeps use sane since it's bit more the type of rural community we like.
