You should explore the second culture of Pennsylvania, located in the center
of the state. During the many times that I drove through there in route to
Bucknell University in Lewisburg (for myself and later, three kids), I would
pass through the worlds largest trash pile stacked on both sides of the road
surrounding a partly fallen down ancient house -- rotted out school buses,
cars,
bed springs, mattresses, discarded building material, commodes, refrigerators,
on and on. Occassionly, you would see some wild ugly monster working outside,
which probably prevented most of the people passing through there from
stopping.
In north-central PA, near where our son lives, degenerates moved themselves
into the homes of an old abandoned mining town. They had a sign at the
entrance saying "Laws and Inlaws." If someone got lost on the dirt road that
passed
through their town, they would get shot at. Finally, the State Police
surrounded the place, and shot it out with them. Some were killed, and others
ran
off into the woods. They then burned the place down.
