Greater Pittsburgh is aok, apparently the Burgh is becoming a convention city, friends from California
and friends from DC area were there recently and can't stop bragging about the place, the restaurants, the
people and how nice downtown and the suburbs are?    Maybe things aren't so bad, take Jacksonville,
came here in the mid 1960s,   238,000 was the population, now add another Million to that and you
know what you have,  an ever building of schools, roads and increasing taxes and that is not great, but
on a fixed income living in a growing city isn't great either, I would settle for a little place outside
of Lancaster, close enough to the big cities but still , close enough for me to visit York Pa and
the TCA Train meets, visit the "Burgh" and my brother in Philly.
