Reply to comment by jaredrun in This state is extremely odd. I live in a place where there's two vastly different environments near me. by Willing_Category1331

Welcome to one of the beautiful things about Pennsylvania and Bucks County! I love living in farm country but also driving 15 minutes to go to any store we could possibly need. I can also drive an hour to Philadelphia for shows or a night out. I drive an hour the other way and it’s nature wonderland. Enjoy!!!

Come on up north. Less than two hours to NYC, turnpike to Philly. Good medical care...........and 10 minutes from a dairy. Massive history and a big river. PA can be backward at times but the landscape is fantastic.

Where's the good medical care up North? I assumed you meant Canada at first

Geisinger and UPMC are battling it out for control right now. Geisigner just put in a new hospital in Muncy PA, literally 3 mins down the road from UPMC muncy.

I’ve got 25 acres and I’m 15 minutes from all the food and shops in my area!

309 is cool until you hit either end of it or end up in the zone where it's always under constro

I wanted to say no, but I had to look on a map. Oh God yes, once in the summer. It's was awful. At least jersey has highways, I think the only high way in bucks is 476

Words cannot express how much I hate 476. At least they're finally widening it 🤷‍♂️

At least you are close to a city.

I'm in a small town. If I drive 15 minutes, I'm in a smaller town or more like the countryside or woods.

If I want city, I need to drive 1.5 hours.

I'd have guessed either near Pittsburgh or Wilkes-Barre. Both surrounded by game lands and mtns relatively close.

Imagine living in Jersey… I’m in Trenton area so not far from you… one way is NY, the other is Philly, and then you’ve got the Shore.
