Phoenixville might think they are hip but not really. Again, lots of shops and very touristy and expensive. I really enjoy the education level of the people in the smaller towns below Doylestown. It's also yuppie so I guess it depends on what you want. There one and only health food store just closed and there isn't one cool metaphysical bookstore or a Whole Foods kind a place.

Just so you know. I've lived in NYC, San Fran, & Miami...now am outside of Philly. CA is hip but this part of the east coast is still catching up.
hip is codeword for insecure

A few years ago Pittsburgh was named "worst city for singles" in the US! PA in general and areas outside the 'burgh are full of conservative gun owners - Reagan/Casey/Hillary Clinton/McCain Democrats if you will.

And lastly here's an article from 2 days ago about how Pittsburgh is losing youth and jobs.

The Pitt News - Pittsburgh is still losing youth, jobs

Come on guys, you can do better than this!
