Not sure if that's true or not? If you toggle members info under my avatar, you should see Los Angeles as my location. Although L.A. does have landscaping and trees, I am in a business district. Apartments, restaurants, markets, banks, businesses. I've been in Los Angeles since 1967 but I was raised in beautiful Pennsylvania.... that's where Fallingwater is located. Lots of pretty woods, waterfalls, streams, etc. Even though I lived in Pittsburgh, it's a very woodsy city. So I had a good childhood with gardens, trees, bushes everywhere. Do you mind telling me your State? My senior citizen cousin and his wife bought a home a couple of years ago in a small town in Ohio. They had been living in Florida but wanted to be near to his wife's family. I thought the same as you....hard to clean those big houses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was raised in the same state as you Debp but in more in the suburban areas, my husband also, but he grew up in the city of Philly. Presently we live in SC. It's nice here, although the Autumns are more beautiful in PA with all the colors, I do not miss the longer winters, or the snow though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest AFlameOfFire Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 You know, I went to search Lancaster PA and I was like what??!! I just see more of a city like place, its been 20 years since we have been there, is that what happened to it? The Lancaster I recall was all Amish country, we would drive up there every other weekend for bunch and shopping back then. So I searched Lancaster Amish country and that come back with the results I remember of Lancaster. I forget times change, places change, and it doesn't take that long for those changes to show up. But its good that it hasn't changed much, I just never went into the city part of Lancaster, whereas when we went into the city is was usually Philadelphia his preferred choice.

I never got to the Amish country just North of Pittsburgh. I was just a child and young teen so didn't know about it then. But it would have been so interesting. I understand there are quilt shops, Amish bakeries and the Amish also craft furniture. It would have been fun to see the horse drawn buggies, too.

Their simple life is like a breath of fresh air and you even feel a benefit being around them on those short trips. And they would most likely survive a severe economic down turn in this country similar to the great depression far better than most. Good for them.
