Threads Pertaining To People Disliking PA (Pittsburgh, Harrisburg: shop, moving to, things to do)

[Summering]

I think when you help people, the heartfelt feelings that show on their faces, is enough to sustain your own heart for a long, long, time. That in itself lets people know they are living in a wholesome, friendly place.
I can remember just last month helping a older lady pick a watermellon out from a huge and very tall box.............Wow, I thought this might be an easy job. But, lo' and behold' she was a fussy one.
As I held up the melon, she would knock on it and shake her head like emmmm' or nope..........
Finally, I was knocking on them too ( I never knew to do all this before, but.....oh well) Then her eys lite up, and my eyes popped out.......THE ONE was found. It was by gosh a heavy one, but I lifted it into her cart.
I won't forget the older lady whom I was able to reach a bird seed bag for her either.......
She looked at me with this kind face......worth more then gold, as a memory.
We are in a huge state, but so far in the eastern side I havn't seen anything to change my mind.....
( and thank you Busytoday, for being on to something too........)

I didn't read this whole topic too many pages but from what I gather people hate PA b/c they are on hard times or hate other people who live here. So if you lived in another state would you not fall on hard times? Are other states immune to that?

I love how you can hate an entire state. PA is 45,000 square miles big. Have you been/lived in each section? Old people, country white trash, and union labors are the people the OP said he hates. The entire state is not filled with these types of people as I said maybe you shouldn't define a whole state by where you live.


Go Phillies

Go Steelers..........Go PA

I think when people go through that phase of 18-22, they generally act like this. They hate the place they live, they hate everybody around them, they hate the system, they hate the "machine", they are at the age where they think they are going to go somewhere so much better than the idiots around them and are completely ignorant to the world.

It is actually quite cute, and I use to be like that when I was in college.

I've been a Steelers fan since the age of 7, long before I moved to PA. I'm not gonna change my mind and hate the team just because it's in PA. That is outright juvenile and stupid. I'm not sure what your thought process was when you quoted me on this one, lol. I've frequently commented that the only thing I liked about PA was the Pittsburgh Steelers

I'm also a fan of the Packers and the Patriots.

Well I guess it depends on where you shop. Wegmans is a high end store, and I would think the people would be nicer if they're willing to pay an extra few bucks for food.

So who else lives here if not just that?...Oh the yuppies I forgot

As for the hard times,it just makes them that much harder when you've got to contend with irritating people on top of it all

Go Braves

I was joking. I guess you can't take one. No wonder why everyone is critizing you.

Personally 18-22 was one of the better times for me

They can be a little pushy there too...it's like an office building except with groceries

nocturnal rooster, what did you move to PA for? Did you go here for college or something?

What town did you live in? Did you live in any other part of the state?

I lived in Colorado before. I had a bunch of negative crap happen to me out there, I never put it on the state.

Also, there is a big difference out there if you live in Colorado Springs (military republican) to Denver (younger progressive liberal).
