As I recall he had deep experience organizing events of this type. He knew it was going to implode but chose to stay on and do what he could to avert a worse disaster.

Well they're independent so if you're not a PPL customer, then maybe there is something comparable with PECO, etc.

There is no Standard Offer through PPL this year. No provider would take it on. I took that offer last December, the day before rates went up. It was the best rate at that time and I locked it in for a year. Now we're going to pay >50% more.

Check out the Scranton and NEPA subreddits.
The area is insulated and old-world. Kind of tribal. Outsiders are looked on with suspicion. I married into it, found out for myself lol. But we live 2+ hours away. For a family, there are areas I'd recommend. But as a single dude...Pose the question on r/Scranton and see what they say.
Also - met my wife 25 years ago and not in that area. Brain drain took her away after college. No work.

I have family in the area. Scranton is pretty dead. There are bars, etc but you're not going to have much of a dating pool. Serious brain drain problem in Northeast PA going back forever. People who get an education get out.
It's also a fairly depressing area in general. Lots of distressed properties everywhere you look and very little investment. The city itself has been on a downward cycle of urban flight ---> higher taxes ---> more urban flight. Very little professional employment in the area outside of the medical field.
If you like the outdoors than it's a little better - nice state parks around. Poconos skiing. Lakes. Plenty of state forest and game land.
Good luck!

Cumberland is spot on lol. Lots of dragons in York too.
The map needs to have the Northern Tier fleshed out, definitely its own world there.
