Yes - I'm very familiar with Clearfield and Bradford - and they don't belong on this list - someone got ahold of a stats package that wasn't very good. Makes me think they are using some sort of Diversity score BS...
Why Philadelphia (Highest crime rate), Chester, Pittsburgh, or Harrisburg isn't on the list tells me something, |

It kinda reminded me a bit of Warren, a town I always liked when we'd go up there to visit relatives when I was a kid; just, you know, even colder. I also can't see how a place like Bradford made the "worst" list but Johnsonburg didn't, which makes me think the guy mainly looks at "facts" on the internet to make his list and didn't really get out and drive around a whole lot. Because Johnsonburg stinks, literally.

It seemed like everyone there was living off the system and when they had trouble getting their money they’d get their kids signed up for it.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Nokie: I can believe Bradford is on that list. I'm surprised it's not higher on the list. I grew up in Warren and it wasn't a bad little town and back them Bradford was booming. I moved away and then came back in 2008-9. Instead of commuting back and forth I decided to look for a place in Bradford. Everyone warned me and I thought awww it can't be that bad. So I was looking and found a 2story house on a double city lot for $2500. Yes that's right $2500 !!! So I plop down the cash and get it. I then found out what Bradford was all about. I'd get up in the morning to go to work and all the neighbors would be on the porch still drinking. I was the only person on the whole block that had a job. I was told by guys at work that Bradford was ok until they moved the welfare office from Ridgeway to Bradford and everyone followed.

 Visit Clearfield County - Halfway to Everywhere ETA: For reference at 0:40 it looks pretty much like my "back yard" once you get past the range and fire pit, and the road at 0:56 is pretty much the twin of the one I live on.

I have lived in PA for 15 years now. I like it a lot but I can’t stand the liberal invasion. I use to live in NY. I came here to get away from liberals and to my surprise many PA’s were left wing democrats. The liberals are coming in from NY and NJ. I am a very far right wing guy. My family is conservative too. I like the state but I don’t know if I will stay forever.
At this time I am very concerned about the gun control bills. I also don’t like that we have a full democrat suprem court. I don’t like the redistrict the SC did. Lots of things changing in the last few years here. The republicans around philly and Pittsburg are not conservative. This state has to much of a left wing slant. I thank God for the center of the state but it is just a matter of time before they Are over powered. That’s what NYC did to all of NYS and you see what they are going through. It is also a high tax state. All in all it’s a very good state with a lot of crappy people in control. I won’t even start my rant about the potholes and the roads. |

Good stuff on going shooting too, I need to do a post-winter cleanup on my range out back this weekend, I still used it over the winter but now it's time to make it not look raggedy as hell. I did a little "How long is this going to take..." check this afternoon between downpours and actually found a pile of .308 waaaay off to the side, so bonus for a pile of brass, finger wag at the PTR for launching it halfway to Ohio. |

Who the hell picks Clearfield as a place for their main character to come from, let alone has him fishing in Anderson Creek?
