Reply to comment by [deleted] in Moving to mountain region of PA-Tell me how it is? by gregv64

Going to second this, my dad's family relocated from New Jersey to Bradford County in the 1970s and I grew up visiting that area frequently. The people are, uh, clannish to say the least.

See this is the insight I am looking for. Opinions of people from these areas. This is constructive feedback in my opinion.

Had family move to Bradford in the 70s and the stories I hear from back then compared to today are insane. One family member had someone pull a gun on them telling them they were trespassing on their own property. 'I've never seen you before, so you either leave or get shot' kind of stuff. They didn't even get arrested when the cops showed up, it was 'oh thats <soandso> and he's a bit protective of his hunting spots. I'll tell him to cool it'. It's a lot better now, but compared to most areas still stuck in the past.

My dad's family used to tell people "You best not stay here, your car battery won't last the winter" and it took me a very long time to understand that was a threat, not friendly advice.
