Beautiful county.

I like the areas up around Elkland; Knoxville-Westfield; and Galeton over in Potter too.

Yeah, good luck with that.

Macron must be bored with that much time on his hands to waste.

Maybe West Windsor?

Thank you.

I think my mother mentioned Wissahickon actually.

Unrelated question as I'm not familiar with the neighborhood but saw School House Lane mentioned

Anyone know if there was/still is a big old retirement apartment building that mostly wealthy elderly once lived in on that street?

I had a very wealthy aunt that lived on that street in a huge apartment back in the 1970s and 1980s but I never visited her there unfortunately.

Interesting.

Never been to Clearfield. Closest was McKean, Cameron and Centre counties. I liked the area - definitely different from the Poconos.

I think the Skook will be your kind of place, lol.

Take I-78 west, get on Rt. 61 north at Cabela's and once you're past the mountain you're home. Cheap real estate, lots of guns, votes Republican, and not fans of vaccinations.

Of course, the Coal Region's gonna be a real cultural trip for anyone from NY.

You're gonna love the boilo, pierogies, and Pottsville's finest brewskis though.

Wasn't expecting that but I guess the researchers were trying to establish relatively neat borders around majority usage I guess.

Or was there some industry or other connection to Philly which transplanted the term to that particular area? I went to college in Central PA and it wasn't a thing in that county (not Clearfield).

I'm in the Poconos but like in Philly shit zeroes in on new cars and in my 30+ years I've never owned one because of that fact.

And for good reason after three people rear-ending and one T-boning me.

Then there's the 14 deer and 1 horse coming out of the brush on narrow roads with blind curves that have gotten me too. And yeah, before anyone critiques my driving skills that's 30 years with no speeding tickets, moving violations or accidents ruled my fault - the roads are that bad and deer that numerous, lol.

Get another good used car and sleep well at night knowing you're not facing the possibility of shit happens to your rapidly-depreciating new car out on the street by various dumbasses and assholes.

75 y.o. Cooper's Seafood House in Scranton where scenes from The Office were filmed is a unique place -good food.

Also multiple pizzerias in Old Forge make an awesome dish or sheet pizza. The town is historically Italian going way back to coal mining immigrant days.

Never got to eat at the Coop.

Your response had me laughing but so true, lol.

My gf grew up in South Jersey, I was born in NW Jersey, and one of my best friends in college grew up in Cranbury, Middlesex County and I teased her about the existence of Central Jersey, lol.

The Tioga-Potter line area and parts of McKean County are some of my favorite places in the state.

I saw a U.S. linguistics map once with the term usage for a hoagie. The rest of the country represented big geographical patches for every other term.

However, hoagie was only used within approximately a 60-mile radius of CC. And it proves fairly accurate in my case here about 12 miles north of the Lehigh Tunnel. I go up to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton to eat sometimes and you won't see hoagie used there much.

The one for NFL allegiances created from FB data by county represented a somewhat similar extent. Where the hoagie goes, so go the Birds apparently.

I've heard the term Hero before but never knew what that actually was.

A lot of North Jersey guys over here in the Poconos, more than coming up from Philly so 'sub' tends to win out. I don't hear 'hero' though.

Ever see Game of Thrones? I'm north of The Wall up here, lol.

Loved reading that!

I live up at the edge of the Poconos/Coal Region where the term 'hoagie' fades away and use of the term 'sub' (shudder) begins. I've had arguments valiantly defending the term 'hoagie', lol.

But where I live is right where Eagles territory comes to a tri-point with Giants and Steelers turfs too so I'm outnumbered there too.

Yeah, I think that the guy you're responding to doesn't understand that Canada's ramping up and doing what it can given it's relatively small military. As an American, I'm glad for what Canada's doing and together with other like-minded countries, we're going to get this done for Ukraine.

They try that, then Poland pushes back and Kaliningrad should be forfeited.

Oh geez.

This happens here in northern PA too, especially on some unplowed state forest roads around the PA Grand Canyon when New Jersey or New York drivers try to make it work despite seeing only snow machines going in, lol.

Housing costs are insane in Bucks.

I work there but live nowhere close to it.

My gf is an ICU nurse practitioner (not at UPMC) and she found this truly shocking.

Generators HAVE to work for the ER and ICU. Failure just isn't an option.

I live in the Poconos on the Carbon-Monroe County line and nothing here.

And to the ones along I-78 in Berks and Lehigh counties too

I work road construction and deal a lot with storm sewers. Three main factors that individually or in combination typically cause this type of flooding.

1.) First, obviously trash and leaves blocking the drain, especially if its the lowest drain in the neighborhood.

2.) Then old, undersized storm sewer pipes never properly designed for the amount of rainfall within the micro-watershed they handle, especially with that amount of impervious surface. Also remember storm sewers gotta handle roof downspout, sump pump and parking lot water in addition to what falls on the street. Plus rainfalls are getting heavier and in a shorter period of time than in the old days.

3.) Finally, the underground creek flowing across very flat terrain. Storm sewers won't get much drop or pitch with such minimal grade so drains at low points in the neighborhood will inevitably back up as water fills the creek and pipes leading to them. Just nowhere for the water to go.
