"Gloomy city"


Gloomy city - 11/30/2006

Centre Hall, PA

I've lived in State College for seven years and it's the gloomiest place I've ever been. The sun rarely comes out here from November through April, and statistics show we get more rain than Seattle. Be sure that you don't have Seasonal Affect Disorder if you decide to move here or you might become suicidal. We are trying to get out of here as soon as possible.
