re: Best City/area/place to live?! Torn between a -
3/26/2015State College is in the boonies, not much employment out that way, same as the Wilkebarre area and the Poconos I think. I have been to Wilkesbarre and not much going on there. I live and have lived for 50+ years 30-40 mins east of Pittsburgh near Greensburg,PA. Pittsburgh may be good for your husbands employment, and there are plenty of animal lovers on our end. Hidden Valley and Seven Springs are not all that far away from here if it's skiing you like about the Poconos. Check Monster.com, no iT jobs in Wilkes-Barre, some in Philly but seems more in Pittsburgh. There are nice areas on the outskirts of Pittsburgh where you can have the best of both worlds. There are pretty mountains all over. Ligonier is nice and the Laurel Mountains on the way to Johnstown pa, but not much work there either. But all close for day trips. We are near St Vincent College, Seton Hill University, and Pitt of Greensburg. In Pittsburgh there is the main Pitt Campus, Chatham University, Carnegie Mellon University, Duquesne University,Point Park University, Carlow University to name a few. Good Luck! PS: after writing all of this I see the date. You probably are well situated already. Oh well.
