do pennsylvania people hate marylanders

Go back to where you came from? So..... no one should leave their place of birth? I have never heard of this mentality before. We currently live in Minnesota (not in the town of my birth) and have moved around a bit. I think it is good to move where you can get a job! Sure beats being unemployed!

I have never, ever heard of this type of attitude I've seen in some of these PA threads about people not moving in. I am choosing to believe that it is just a few minds that work this way rather than the majority...especially since we are moving out there in 2 weeks due to a new job.

As far as the greed thing....having money doesn't make you greedy. Greed is in the heart, so is jealousy and covetiveness.

I hope our neighbors and new town welcome my family

Yes, these boards are by no means representative of your average Pennsylvanian. Many people just use this forum as a place to vent, which unfortunately leaves potential transplants with a negative expectation. You always have to take anyone's personal accounts -- especially online -- with a grain of salt. Nevertheless, people from all kinds of backgrounds continue to move to PA, and I wish you all the best with your relocation.

Agreed. I wouldn't worry about it at all. The comment about staying where you live is not representative of anyone in PA that I know.

Thank you! My dh has already moved there and started his new job and has found the people he works with to be very kind and welcoming. I bet the kids and I will have the same experience when we join him out there.

The PA forum is the epitome of the average Pennsylvanian. Or at least half of them.

I agree, most people either don't care, or absolutely hate the migrating, but i'd say that surely its not a minority who is opposed to it. It reminds of that episode of south park where all the rich people move to south park, except the class isn't that large, although the jobs are very different, most people moving in are white collar and the majority of pa is blue collar, really alot of culture clashing going on.
