Little town

Oil City is full of wonderful history. Unfortunately that hay day is long gone. Still, it is a nice little town. Like anyplace where people live you have some crime but if you come from a big city there really isn't any like you might think of as crime.
The home prices are great, but winters are cold. The spring summer and fall are beautiful. There is hunting, fishing and hiking galore. When I say there are no jobs here I mean you better be retired, that will be the only way you will really enjoy it here. There is NO work to speak of unless you can get on with the school district or own your own business. It is a bit of a drive to get to anywhere (forget it it as a commute, the winters are too much for that really) but then I like it that way. If I want the city it is an hour away to Erie, a little more to Pittsburgh and I can go to Ohio in about the same amount of time. If I want REAL big city New York is only 5-6 hours away. Hotel stay for that one.
Canada and Montreal are within driving distance in a about 3-4 hours. If I want peace and quiet I can stay home and take care of the yard and my dogs. Don't come here if your looking for night life, there are little pubs, but no night life really. A big night here is happy hour and darts. Personally, I love the trees, the quiet and the people (mostly).
