What is is like for black and white couples, cost of living, schools etc. We live in the Nashville TN area now and DO NOT like it, there is a lot of racial issues here especially in the small towns and the school system is terrible, I have had so many issues with trying to get my daughter assistance in school. They have failed the state testing requirements for four years in a role in this district. Plus the rental cost are high in Nashville. We have been trying to move futher North out of here. Someont please help, we like the Pittsburgh area and would like to find out more info on some other areas like Harrisburgh and Chambersburgh. I found some affordable rentals in Chambersburgh but I do not want to move into an area that may be just as racist or worse them here in TN. I know you cannot completely move away from racism, but we can move to a better area. We have got kids to think about.
Maryland or Virginia would be so much better than PA. There are plenty of bi racial couples in those states.

Maryland yes, but Virginia I'd say no. Outside of the expensive Washington, DC suburbs rural VA is quite conservative.
