Emlenton PA
Hello, Is anyone out there from Emlenton, PA? I have visited oil city two times
in the last month and really liked it. Looked at 2 houses which where both nice.
However I am going out next week and will be checking a home out in
Emlenton. Any scoop is appreciated. Thanks Otter

Seems very pretty over that way. I live near Warren, Ohio, would gladly buy a piece of land anywhere near Emlenton. If you are not from Western PA, though, you must learn a little Pittsburghese to enjoy this neck of the woods! Once you do this, yunz'll love 'is corner of america, with beautiful mahntinous terrain where you can fish and camp n 'at up 'ere in the woods!! |

Perhaps people from Pittsburgh speak Pittsburghese, but I am originally from Oil City (Western PA) and never heard anyone speak that way. If I had used the word "yunz", my parents and teachers would have had fits. Actually, most of the people I knew growing up had excellent grammar skills and diction. Sadly, the area has deteriorated economically. Perhaps when all the other places in the US are overpopulated, people will find a haven in the forgotten little towns of the rust belt.

Fair enough..............whatever YUNZ say. Either way YINZ are o.k. in my book.
I lived in Franklin for 2yrs. Loved it. I have a friend (Wayne Hundtermark, Attny.) who lives in Emlenton and he really likes it there. |

If it wasn't for the University, in a lot of respects, Clarion would probably be right up there with Emlenton. Also being the county seat probably helps as well. |

In the coming oil poor decades, Emlenton should fare well. Farmlands are nearby - groceries won't be a problem.
They have a rail line, and access to the river.
The question: is the river navigable to PGH?
Any plans for engineering the Allegheny river to create a chain of small lakes for navigation, flood control, economic development, and so forth?
