I'm almost embarrassed to say I've lived here my entire life and have never traveled to western Pennsylvania. Love small town living though...we earned the barbed wire at the top of the drainpipe at the elementary center on the end of our street. We used to scale the pipe and play hide and seek because there was so much equipment you could hide behind!It is mostly to Pittsburgh or to Little Washington and across back roads to my home area in WV and across the River to my high school town. I grew up an hour from Pittsburgh (even with the 2-lane roads then) and I watched them build the Fort Pitt Tunnel into Pittsburgh. The airport used to be one 2-story building and you went onto the roof to watch the planes takeoff and land. THAT was entertainment.Well if Gillum House ends up in Northeastern PA, she is more than welcome to stay here.Gillum House will be traveling to Canaan on the 25th for 3 days. That is Canaan State Park & Resort for Governor's Conference on Tourism. That is about as exotic as it gets. Occasionally we do go to Pennsylvania, Ohio, or MarylandWell Generic is going to Italy at the end of October with stops in Israel, Turkey and Greece on his way back. Next is April... Singapore, Thailand, India, Sri Lanka, Dubai, Jordan, Egypt and Italy.I read these boards almost every day and rarely sign in (mostly because I can't remember my password and needed to request a new one). I'd love for Generic to come visit me so we could discuss travel! I'll be in Thailand in November followed by Cambodia and a quick stop in Qatar on the way home..

If it's small town living you want, then Western PA is the place to find it. I grew up in Northwestern PA (1/2 way between Pitts and Erie). Small, small, small!!MtnLodge said:I'm almost embarrassed to say I've lived here my entire life and have never traveled to western Pennsylvania.

On a separate note, I'm coming up on a 'significant' birthday in November. Considering places close by to spend a Fri/Sat. Anyone have any openings for the 2nd weekend in November at a reasonable (Inn-Mate) rate?? I had originally blocked that weekend because we were supposed to go with our daughter to a cheer competition in NJ, but it has been re-scheduled, but I haven't unblocked the rooms yet.
