What’s wrong with Schuylkill? I live in Delco but I’ve wanted to move to Pottsville for a few years now after visiting a few times.

How aren’t there jobs on the city? Pottsville is a functioning city, where are the jobs? Unless are you getting at there isn’t anything beyond corporate chain store sage work/fast food jobs?

Pottsville feels romantic to me. I love walking around at night and seeing the lights of houses across the way nestled in the hills and valleys.

Lots of hourly work: Retail, restaurants, warehouses or other blue collar type jobs. Not saying you can’t make a living out there, but your pay is going to be much higher should you bite the bullet and commute to places like LV or even Reading.

Unlike the LV, there are places in Skook where you won't hear your neighbors beat on each other.

I have never once heard my neighbors beat on each other down here. Granted skook’s got more rural land, so I’ll give ya that
