Let's give them their wish and have the five-county region secede from the rest of the Commonwealth. They won't miss our region's tax dollars.

I would never leave PA, even if all of my family moved. The state is cheap to live in and jobs pay well. Also the natural beauty is amazing here, and I love Lake Erie an dthe Allegheny NF especially. I'm proud to call PA my home.

They're imbeciles just like those in Philadelphia who'd rather be with New Jersey. Philadelphia is where Pennsylvania originated. They're inextricably linked.

in this case they both suffer from the same issue, being overly negative about their home even when its unwarranted. how many times have you heard "only in Philly" when in reality, its something that happens everywhere?

most do not. please provide an example of "only in philly" that really is only in philly. simply because you succumb to the mentality doesn't make it any more correct.
