I grew up 10 miles south of your town in a rural address (dairy farm) of New Enterprise but just three miles south of Baker Summit along the mountain. Used to roam the ridge and mountain all the time, most pleasant memories of my youth. Same high school as Joe Nastasi, Northern Bedford.I grew up in Roaring Spring, Pa. About 10 miles SW of Altoona, in Blair County, near the Bedford County border. Population 1900 when I lived there.
The wife is from Clearfield, Pa. We met in State College and now live between Harrisburg and York.
Lived in Punxsutawney, Clearfield, Greensburg, Harrisburg, Nottingham (Oxford area) and now Shreve, OH (1+ hour SW of Akron) in a rural area where we see horse and buggy's daily, just like Nottingham and my home. I can live in small and large towns but prefer rural areas. There are generally quiet, if you hear a siren it's a very big deal and it's not light polluted to the level of a town so you can still see the stars (more of them that is).
