Reply to comment by skrilledcheese in I need Advice from Scranton/Wilkes/Hazleton area residents by skrilledcheese

Check out the Scranton and NEPA subreddits.

The area is insulated and old-world. Kind of tribal. Outsiders are looked on with suspicion. I married into it, found out for myself lol. But we live 2+ hours away. For a family, there are areas I'd recommend. But as a single dude...Pose the question on r/Scranton and see what they say.

Also - met my wife 25 years ago and not in that area. Brain drain took her away after college. No work.

Thanks for the idea! I didn't even think to check if a Scranton sub existed. And I get how tribal rural PA can be. I have family in areas like that.

The work thing isn't an issue for me personally. Remote job. And not to brag, but with the money I'll be getting out of my house, I could make ends meet for years up there without having to work at all.

Anyway, thanks for your perspective and suggestions!
