NEPA, born and raised, but I do have a brother-in-law who's a transplant. He was born in Hicksville, NY and raised in Centerport on Long Island. He's lived in NEPA since he started going to the "da U" in 1990 and has never left the area, he loves it here.

I've also lived in Florida, Oklahoma, Missouri and Texas. But only for short periods of time.

PA is a marvelous state.

nice post- I wish I could find a place I felt so enthusiastic about I am still looking.....My problem is I like the country, but need a real city an hour away.........

Hi Sunny....wull, PA is the place, cities are many, and within an hours ride, you could be out in the country. But, if and when I'm older, I'd really like to live somewhere where people are not....like upstate PA...have you ever seen it..? they don't call it God's Country for nothing.

Our family loves Beltzville! We just avoid the busy weekend times. My 5 y/o loves to take out the "big blue boat" (our kayak LOL)

Hi Karen, I used to love Beltzville, we'd go there swimming and fishing....what a great place. We lived on Weir Lake in Kunkletown, behind the West End Fairgrounds in Gilbert...we had a home on the lake. Raised my son there, and we belonged to the Luthern Church in Brodheadsville.

It was great times then. I'm coming back up for a neighbors birthday party in November. It will be the first time in years...I've heard it changed a lot...moved out of there 12 years ago...where does the time go?

What a small world! I know exactly where you lived, Weir Lake Road is my shortcut to bypass the Brodheadsville traffic.

Hope you have a great time at the party. Beltzville has changed - during the weekends it can be very crowded and hectic, but I always launch my kayak back at Preacher's Camp Road and it is nice and calm back there. If things are too crowded on the beaches, I just travel up to Mauch Chunk Lake in Jim Thorpe for a quieter time.

Hi there! My husband had a job offer last year in PA, we turned it down because it was bad timing and really didn't know much about the place besides driving through. Husband found an old friend online who was originally from here who has since moved back.
Has me thinking, I should look a little more closely. I was hoping, to learn something outside of statistics.

A little about myself. I'm originally from London, lived in Ham Germany for a few years as a child and back to London. Did a few months in Malaga Spain. Moved to Toronto as a teenager. I have continued moving some until I had my kids. I need change and my husband hasn't lived anywhere but Toronto and would experience something new. We were considering a few countries, but have found possible time zone issues etc...

I'll be posting a topic and hoping for a little info. So I thought I should share a little info about myself before imposing myself on you all.

I was born in Williamsport, Pa but abducted as an infant to Brooklyn, NY and raised there with many visits back to Pa to visit the grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. My grandfather was a sharecropper on a farm and raised 9 kids to help with the chores. My mom decided to go visit NYC for a weekend and never returned to Pa to s stay, only to visit. My dad was a Brooklynite with the terlet for toilet and earl for oil. My hubby was born in Brooklyn as were my daughters. The girls are pure New Yorkers, through and through, as I once was. Hubby was born in Brooklyn, but it was HIS idea to move to Pa and leave the kids (who are now grown and flying the nest) to NY...one in Queens and the other on LI. We'll only be a 3-4 hour drive from NY anyhow and hubby will commute to Brooklyn and home every two weeks (he works on a gas barge in the NY Harbor). Now that I've written my novella, we plan to be closing on a house in Susquehanna County in early December 2007!
