I know, I was only using Manahoy City as an example. These types of small rowhouse-dominated towns are found all over the eastern part of the state. I don't think Wellsboro is a great example though. It has a nice business district, but
the residential area is detached housing. Jim Thorpe is very high-density along Broadway (with both commercial storefronts and rowhouses) but the rest of the borough is sort of intermediate in housing typology between Wellsboro and the Coal Region -
mostly detached, but only by a few feet, and generally set back a little bit from the sidewalk.
