Reply to Did anyone else move out of western Pennsylvania for greener pastures? by Popular-Variation-29
I grew up in Allegheny County then moved to Perry County shortly before I married my wife, who is a native to the area. It was a bit of a culture shock at first, but over the past thirty years, I've come to love it out here.

Reply to comment by zorionek0 in Three Pennsylvania amusement parks named among best in the U.S. (Kennywood, Knoebels, and Hersheypark) by zorionek0
Kennywood has a pretty wide variety of attractions ranging from tame kiddie rides up to modern steel coasters. Many of the rides there are classics that really set the park apart from more modern parks. There are some really unique attractions there like an old fashioned walkthrough funhouse modeled after Noah's Ark, some top tier wood coasters like The Jackrabbit, The Thunderbolt, and The Racers. as well as a lot of other really great rides.

I grew up around Pittsburgh before moving to Central PA, so I've been to all three parks many times. If I had to rank them it would be Kennywood > Knoebels > Hershey. All three are great though.

>I'm looking into other resources, such as the VA, their medical insurance, the state's office of the aging, and meal plans like Dinnerly or Hello Fresh.
Those are some very good starts. My wife worked as a social worker for our local Area Agency on Aging for many years. From what she's told me over the years, they should be able to guide you and your parents very well and help you setup whatever services they may need, including working with the VA and any other resources they may have available. I'd say they should be your first call. As for the meal plans, they may or may not be overkill depending on how well your parents can prep their own meals. I know just how labor intensive (not to mention expensive) some of their meals can be. It's possible they may qualify for Meals on Wheels or other services that may be a better fit for their lifestyle and/or capabilities.

Reply to comment by Thulack in Why does PA allow my “township” to charge me $6 for a trash bag???? Wtf? by [deleted]
Some areas, especially rural areas of the state, require people to buy specially marked garbage bags for people to leave along the curb for pickup. These are usually sold in various sizes with maximum weight limits on them. Alternately, you can sign up for trash pickup through a trash pickup service such as Waste Management who charges a fee based on the distance they need to travel to your house and the number of other customers close to where you live. OP is apparently upset the local trash service upped the price of their bags.

They tried. Unfortunately for them, Truth Social is a failing mess and The Right Stuff is a sausage fest.
