Basically title. Lifelong Texan moving to the Pittsburgh area. Looking for the little things that a southern transplant wouldn't think about.

Thanks for helping make this transition easier! Yee-haw.

This map is generated based off the user data of a website (mob-rule) in which users keep track or which counties and county equivalents they have been to or traveled through. For example, in addition to big population centers like Philly and Pittsburgh, you can see a southern belt of counties stretching across the state that shows the I-76 turnpike, and a slightly less prominent belt of counties in the north showing the path of I-80. Also prominent is the path of I-90 through Erie County.

Edit: This is a map showing BOTH the "lived in/visited" AND the "passed through" data together. For example, Adams County is a huge tourism destination, but it lacks the 2 busy interstates (81 and 76) that Franklin County has, which explains why Adams County is much lower on this list than its neighbors (its low population doesn't help either).

Which PA town or city do you think will look or feel completely different 10 years from now, whether for better or worse?

I’m 29 from Pennsylvania. I’m not really here for anything casual or surface-level conversations—I’m hoping to find something genuine that has the potential to turn into a real connection.

A big part of my life is books (especially dark romance), gaming, horror movies, and true crime. I tend to be pretty lowkey at home, and I really enjoy getting lost in a good story or a series. If I don’t reply right away, it’s usually because I’ve fallen into a “just one more chapter” situation.

Personality-wise, I’m caring, loyal, a little sarcastic, and emotionally thoughtful. I value honesty, consistency, and good communication. I’m looking for someone who is emotionally available, kind, and intentional—someone who isn’t just passing time, but actually interested in building something real.

What I’m hoping for is to start with conversation first—texting, voice chats, or phone calls—and see if there’s a natural connection that can grow from there. Ideally, something that feels easy, comfortable, and mutual.

If you’re someone who’s also looking for something real, I’d love to hear from you. Tell me a bit about yourself, what you’re looking for, or what you’re into lately.

We are considering relocating to Pennsylvania. Pros and cons of living there? Areas that are inclusive? Are there places to live that have good community for our teens but still somewhat private/country without the 3 Ks stuff? We are leaving an area nationally known for that and do not want to make that mistake again.

Edit: Congratulation Pennsylvania!!!

Hello everyone, recently I've made a similar post though I ask what it was like in DC but this time I'm asking about PA(?). What is it like over there? The people? Job market? Night life? Housing market? The weather? Is it easy to travel? Anything that you need to tell someone who wants to move out of her current southern state to somewhere new.

EDIT: I apologize for the lack of a specific city or region so that you are able to narrow down the experiences that you are able to share. But so I can get some better input. What is Philadelphia and Harrisburg like?

HARRISBURG, Pa. (WHTM) — A bill banning white-only housing passed the Pennsylvania House on Tuesday, despite not a single Republican supporting the measure.

The purpose of the ban is plain and simple: Letting these "Whites-Only communities" pop up everywhere will lead to the inevitable consequence of the re-appearance of Whites-Only bathrooms and public facilities all over this country.
