I would hardly call western Pennsylvania "vibrant".  A lot of this area has 
never recovered from the late 70's and a lot of this area is exactly the 
kind of area that Obama described.  There are pockets of growth, but very 
little tax base and jobs outside of health care and education.  (I guess 
most of you didn't get the news story from Clearfield where the guy wants to 
assassinate either Obama or Clinton, because "if they get in they will take 
away all of our guns and then there will be a real civil war".)

The best part of living here is that is relatively cheap compared to the 
rest of the country.

The tunnels are being built to line the pockets of a friend of government. 
What & who are they going to serve?  The casino and yet to be built 
entertainment complex.  Now only one problem----Where do you park before you 
ride the LRV under the river?

Do not mind me being a little bitter--I just see a lot of western PA up for 
sale and no one is buying.
