It's not a crapville thugtown like Reading, Scranton, or Philly. And it's not run down or bare like some of the old mining towns. But it is way too metro and subject to lake-effect weather. IMHO, if you're going to find yourself in PA, our "rural Appalachia", aka Pennsyltucky, counties are the place to be.
