Milton. Former home of Chef-Boy-Ardee. Cute little town. Nothing special. Just feels nice.

Huntingdon, small town with college.

Elizabethtown, bigger small town with college.

Jim Thorpe. Feels a little like New England.

Emporium, another cute little town. Nothing going on, but close to the elk, in beautiful Cameron County.

Kane, another great little town with Nothing going on, except for the PA Wilds. Beautiful, has a small, but great restaurant scene.

Just trying to avoid the obvious: Lancaster, Gettysburg, Wellsboro, Coudersport.

Kane also has Bell’s Market, where they make all of their sausages in-house. The pineapple bacon, sweet leek, and blueberry breakfast sausage are my go-tos when I’m up there.

Kane is where that crazy sedition lady operates a crappy pizza joint.

That is not in Kane.

Kane just happens to be the closest town.

If you go to Milton, go on Instagram and find out the hours of the Milton Art Bank. Mysterious museum curator bought an old marble-front bank and made a small and interesting museum. Around the corner is a health food store, old fashioned store store, and antique toy store.

Elizabethtown is a shithole former Sundown town. Worked, lived, and did canvassing for Bernie Sanders' first Presidential bid there.

Its downtown is a deteriorating menagerie of bigots, poor families, and unmaintained properties. The suburbs are marginally better. It currently has two Dollar Generals with a population of 11.5k people.

Elizabethtown ???? Besides the college, I'm not sure what it offers. It's known locally as one of the areas with a lot of poverty and just doesn't have much happening except their annual Fair (which considering all of the fairs in Lanc Co, I wouldn't put at the top of my list).

Ummm... no?

Try Slatington. Does not feel like New England but neat little business strip and a great tow path next to a sparkling river.
