Harrisburg seems not bad to me; It certainly has more ethnic food, for 
instance, than other larger cities I've been to. There are recreational 
opportunities. The big thing for me would have been that because of its 
size, a dearth of the sort of touring musical acts coming that I'd like to 
see. But that's an issue in Pittsburgh too.

In some respects "it depends where in the city you are"
