I like Central PA but traffic along I-81 & I-83 is really starting to be a bit of a mess. We have traveled to all 48 states & we still like this area better than most places we have visited. I love to visit other areas but I wouldn't want to live in most of those areas. It seems we have the "best of all worlds" here. Four seasons but winter isn't super nasty and summer only has 15 or 20 days over 90 degrees (most years). Nice amount of rain to keep plants and grass alive yet not raining all the time. ETC

Plenty of decent paying jobs yet housing cost are not bad. Plenty of good food, places to visit, etc.

More pinball stuff in the north east than anywhere in the world is another perk as far as Central PA goes. I can be in NYC, Phila, Baltimore MD, Washington DC, Pittsburgh with less than 3 hours driving. So from Central PA a day trip takes me to a half a dozen big cities & everything in between to pick up machines. Plus I am about two hours from PAPA, the Allentown Pinball Show, and less than an hour from the York Pinball Show.

So as far as pinball goes I live in heaven.

Quoted from OLDPINGUY:
I chose Florida for the following reasons.
1) Clean Air Everyday from Oceans.
2) No Snow
3) Low Taxes, no State Income Tax.
4) Low Housing Cost.....(Plenty under $150K with $1500 Taxes)
5) 2 Different Oceans within an Hour ish
The Bad
1) 3 months of bad heat.
2) Bugs, Snakes, and Gators
3) Hurricanes.
A Home is a box, and Family makes it. Ive always shared dont be a slave to a Mortgage....
For the reasons that a $40K salary can support a nice place to live, easy commute, and plenty to do,
living a life with a rat race commute, or never enough $$$, Ive been very happy.

I have spent several months in Florida over the past couple years and four things that would turn me off to living there would be:

!) NO BASEMENTS so no big ass gameroom in the basement like here in the northeast
2) Those dam little lizards that are all over & the bugs including termites that seem to love pinball machines.
3) The weather - very hot during the summer and even pretty hot spring & fall so you basically only have about 4 decent months and that is when Florida is crazy busy because of the "snow birds". If the heat isn't bad enough toss in a hurricane every couple years to keep things interesting.
4) Traffic is insane in most areas.

Otherwise Florida wouldn't be a bad swamp to live in.
