What are some cool things to do in Pennsylvania?

What are the best things about living in Pennsylvania ?

• And i guess bad things too if Im trying to gather info.

• Answer:

  That all depends on what part of Pennsylvania you're interested in. I lived in the Philly suburbs, so I can tell you about that area. With regard to the weather, it's nice and mild in the summer (at least compared to the deep south where I'm originally from). And in the winter, you get snow, but since you're near the coast, you don't get nearly as much as the western side of the state. It was just enough to make it feel like a real winter. Of course, if you don't like cold at all, it's probably not your cup of tea. As far as things to do, it's an ideal location. In addition to all the things available in Philadelphia and the immediately surrounding areas (restaurants, wineries, shopping, historic areas, etc.), it's just an easy drive to the Poconos, the Jersey shore (including Atlantic City), Baltimore, Washington, and NYC. If you get bored there, it's your own fault because there's just so much to do. And although I wasn't thrilled with the people in the city, the people in the suburbs were super nice, in general. The downside is that it's expensive. I was living on an engineer's salary and still found things to be tight. Housing costs in general are pretty high and property taxes are through the roof. But overall, I really liked it.
