I've had someone from just west of Harrisburg tell me they're from western PA. I was so confused bc I'm from basically Ohio which is actual western PA.

No one lives west of Harrisburg. It's like saying you live on the Moon.

It's not habitable until you reach Pittsburgh & that's in Ohio.

I grew up in Allentown in the 70s, I've lived in Philly, and attended college in Pittsburgh. Spent the first 25 years of my career in Harrisburg.

I find it insulting that you are shitting on most of the state.

Perhaps that's your intent to get upvotes here. But grow up. PA is an awesome state, it's not just Philly or Pittsburgh.

Yeah. In no way a shit-hole. Welcome to life in Pennsyltucky where everyone is slowly dying.

So, like... Cumberland County?

I was born & raised in CC & we definitely identify as South-Central PA or "the mid-state" there. Don't know what that was about.

Yeah Cumberland county. I honestly have no clue. I know one set of their grandparents were from York so maybe that's why? I was thrown though. I'd say they were screwing with me if I didn't know they were serious.

York is further EAST, not further west.

I mean, during the 18th century, Carlisle was considered the beginnings of the west, the last settler town before the "frontier", but other than that...

Yeah sorry I meant maybe she thought of Cumberland as western bc her family was from more eastern PA. But she still stuck to it being western PA when I pushed back asking if she meant central.
