Reply to comment by Otherwise_Comfort_95 in Chewy to close large central Pa. fulfillment center by vasquca1
I agree that taxes are high in PA but the job market is strong so I think that aspect attracts workers
Re: real estate prices, with the chewy center being in the Lehigh valley near Allentown/Bethlehem there is definitely affordable housing in the area
Not sure on what chewy was paying though so I guess affordable housing really comes down to it being affordable to who? If chewy wasn’t compensating adequately, the workers could be being priced out,
On the other hand though, that area has thousands of warehouse jobs so they would need to be competitive.
Additionally, regarding attracting workers. These types of positions are primarily filled by local workers because people don’t generally move interstate for entry or advanced level warehouse positions

Reply to Baby girls babble their way to bigger vocabularies sooner than baby boys, but it’s not because parents talk to them more, instead parents appear to talk more to young children who themselves are already talking, regardless of their gende by giuliomagnifico
I figured that girls developed a little faster with speech, every little girl I have interacted with has better speech faster, but the boys i have interacted with have been more developed physically (balance, throwing & catching, running etc)

Reply to comment by Stone_tigris in PsBattle: a drone show above Whitby Abbey by SurprisedPotato
Oh wow yeah, I just looked at a virtual reconstruction,
No flying buttresses, center elevated section didn’t have a pointed roof, it was like a castle turret
The “drone” photoshop definitely took some liberties

Thanks for clarifying, I went to Whitby as a tourist years ago and thought the same thing.
Interesting to see what the ruins would have looked like in any case though

Reply to Where can I find good pizza in the Poconos area. Thank you for any responses by MrHaloKitty
I’d say try to live near the more populated areas. Stroudsburg has Jewish delis and quite a few pizza places.
You can be 1-1.5 hours drive from stroudsburg and still be in the poconos fyi.
There are great small towns you could move to but it can feel kind of remote if restaurants are an important need for you
