Hello
I grew up in Canonsburg PA which is about 8 miles from Washington, very similiar though. Houses around the Washington and Jefferson college area are very old and beautiful. I know they just put in new sidewalks etc to make the town look better and they are trying to fix up some of the older homes, but it's kind of a depressed area with some drug problems and also lots of undesirables. I live in Kansas City now, I hated the weather back there but do go home home twice a year so if theirs something specific you want to know please ask

There's a pony-buggy racetrack there. Excellent food and a color TV of the races on every table. I live in Pittsburgh and when I meet a gal who isn't afraid to get away, it makes a wonderful date. Like being on vacation except only an hour away. Wheeling, WV is only 15 minutes away.

I never go into the town itself. There are large shopping centers around. It rarely makes the news here in Pittsburgh which starves for gore stories.

chupiechow, what is the quality of life like in KCMO? Last year I was informed that there are thugs on every corner. I used to live on Independence Avenue. Lots of chili places in the area back then. And the smelly bridge that lead to KC Kansas. I miss the place.
