    I’m a Pennsylvanian and I agree with all of this except for the snow. Some parts of Pa really don’t get a lot of snow. I live in the Delaware Valley and this winter we got some snow but it didn’t stick. The past couple of winters have been mild. Another thing I like is we really don’t get to many natural disasters. And as a gardener the soil and rain and sun combo is amazing.

    The worst thing about Pennsylvania are the roads with potholes and deer. Not sure how the streets are in Philly or Harrisburg but Pittsburgh is literally the hardest place to get around in. I learned my way around by driving there between 3-4 in the morning when no one was out. However I will say this, everyone knows the place is confusing so they are very forgiving when you need to skooch over in another lane. Just give them that ‘I’m totally confused” look and a nice wave when you get over and you’re good to go. Also Pittsburgh is the hub of medical centers. I was once lost in one of the huge buildings and ended up in a med school classroom. The instructor took pity on me and had had one of the students escort me to where I needed to go. And this is one big reason why I love Pennsylvania ❤

    Moving to PA from Florida.fell in love with a historic mansion there and in Florida it world be 10-20 times the price plus the town has low crime good schools and all the amenities in town we need including a top rated hospital schools major stores restaurants parks and more. We lived in Michigan for 8 years so we know winter weather and actually prefer it over Florida's never ending heat and hurricane issues plus we strongly miss gorgeous fall and spring. One thing I will miss is the ocean but pa has many streams rivers lakes and hiking trails plus we will have more time to enjoy it all because in Florida it was non stop work to survive plus hours a day in traffic.

    Tip one remember why you left the place you was from. Don’t turn PA into that!
    Tip two no one cares what you had in your previous state if you want was in your last state move back there PA don’t want it.
    Tip Three PA likes to hunt literally the first day of deer season is a state holiday don’t think you will change this. If you are a tree hugger PA has allot of tree to hug just don’t do it during hunting season for your own safety.
    Tip four PA has allot of rain and when we finally get sun and warm weather don’t be the person that says “we could use the rain” you make people here want to drop you in the Poconos deep in the woods like soprano style.
    Tip five when it snows and it will don’t buy up all the water, toilet paper, milk, bread and eggs this isn’t Donners Pass in CA we aren’t going to be snowed in for 6 months it isn’t going to be a time where you might have to choose starve or become a cannibal.
    Tip six if you are from places you don’t have to drive allot because of traffic like certain places to the east and north of PA, learn how to drive no one likes a fookowee if you don’t know what that is it is you from a certain annoying city that has a lady that is tall and green with a torch you are the worst drivers in the US next to that one place with the wannabe Vegas.

      I have lived in PA for 60 years. The roads in PA are now better than any other state I have visited. That wasn't true 10+ years ago. PA has invested 10s of billions in road improvements using additional gas taxes levied over that same period of time. Most bridges have been replaced too. But you will pay about 30 cents a gallon more for gas and diesel in PA.

      Statistics show that more people are moving IN then OUT but yes, people are leaving as well. Thanks for watching!

    Are there any parts of PA, that look similar to Marblehead MA, or Salem MA,? I’ve often wondered this cuz it doesn’t seem like there would be but then again it’s a pretty big state so I could be wrong.

      Hi there, I unfortunately have never been to Marblehead or Salem, so I wouldn’t know. Thanks for watching!
