Pennsylvania
In Pennsylvania, the cost of
living is among the most affordable in the country. Our maximum
personal income tax is the lowest in the nation. And the median
housing value is nearly $10,000 below the national average.
Pennsylvania is home to a wide range of communities from dynamic,
metropolitan cities like Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, to vibrant
smaller cities such as Altoona, Erie, Harrisburg, and Scranton,
as well as a host of thriving small towns and an abundance of
countryside.
Philadelpia is called "the city of brotherly love" as it is that
both literally and figuratively. The city, nationally recognized
as the birthplace of the United States of America, is a maven
for history buffs: home to both the signing of Declaration of
Independence in 1776 and the first federal government created
at the 1787 Constitutional Convention. The Franklin Institute
Science Museum presents displays relating to computers, science,
astronomy, and geography in a variety of exhibits. The Mid-Atlantic
Air Museum provides visitors the opportunity to see a collection
of historical warplanes. Outdoor pursuits include horse drawn
carriage rides to inspect the period architecture prominent throughout
the city. Of course the Liberty Bell is the main attraction drawing
visitors from throughout the world. The quality of the city's
orchestra is second to none also. Nearby Reading, located 60 miles
from Philadelphia, is known for its 18th and 19th century buildings.
Located in southwestern Pennsylvania at a fork in the Ohio River,
Pittsburgh is the largest inland port in the US. She has a population
of about 370,000, while the county has a population of over 1.2
million. Pittsburg has been honored three times as one of the
top five "Most Livable Cities" in the US by the "Places Rated
Almanac."
