RE: My little isolated “hometown” in n.pa was way ahead of the curb.
The Mayor said years ago that half the residents were on some form of relief.

As long as I can remember people always said this area is “economically depressed”
Even the old timers use to talk about it being worse when they grew up.
Part of the problem is the area is isolated and the other part is people around here didn’t like outsiders.
Father’s impragnating their daughters and teacher’s perverting their students...I guess that goes on everywhere?
Anyhow, the evil “flat landers” who came up into the country form the cities and bought up the cheap land for summer camps and or retreats.
With their big city idears. [spit]
Although, outsider could be anyone who was born as far away as 30 mile of town and definitely if you came from another county.
Some of it is justified but most of it was a crock of crap.
It didn’t help that the public school system stunk. I remember teacher’s going on strike almost every year or every other year.
Things have improved greatly since the Marchlius Shale.
Although, they had a difficult time finding 20/30 year olds who wanted to work.
The ironic part of it most of the gas/oil people are all “outsiders”
God love em..:)
