Welcome, I’m more on the east side outside Philadelphia, but I have lived in PA my entire life. James Carville was accurate when he described Pennsylvania as Pittsburg in the west and Philadelphia in the east with Alabama in between. So yeah there are right wing knuckleheads who storm school board meetings to complain about the homosexual books in the library put there by satan. But there are plenty of moderates and liberal as well. As for your love of nature we have a great deal to see and do from nearly 300 miles of the Appalachian trail to state forests.
