"City of Champions"


City of Champions - 8/11/2009
1 0
Ray
Coraopolis, PA

Lots of activities and great sports teams. (less the Pirates, of course) The weather could be better (mostly cloudy) but very few natural disasters (Tornadoes, Floods etc.) Cost of living is about average for the U.S. but going up due to the taxation. Pennsylvania does not tax pension income but do tax EVERYTHING ELSE! Winters are long (Mid-October to Mid-March) Crime is high but only in certain areas. Most neighborhoods are very safe.
