Reply to comment by Jotakave in Would it be a good idea to move to PA just for work? by finallyalright

I'm in Harrisburg, which is closer to some of the places the OP mentioned. Pittsburgh is over 4 hours from me and Philly is nearly as far due to traffic, so if the OP is willing to travel then they will be fine. In terms of writers, I managed a book store in central Pennsylvania for a bit, and lectures or events with authors are definitely some things Pennsylvanians should boast about as they are quite good throughout the state. You are correct, u/Jotakave the climbing and biking groups in central PA are good too, I kinda forgot about them since I haven't been since 2020 (prepandemic). As a reporter, I say be mindful of where you are biking, as the crashes have been higher than usual for a few years now, at least in central PA.

You guys also have decent breweries or at least I’ve had good beer when driving through. I liked that little market Harrisburg has. Lots of interesting offerings. OP mentioned pittsburgh that’s why I brought all of this up. I think we live in a beautiful state and we can certainly grow into the community if you have interest in the outdoors/music/active life.
