Oof. Sorry that you feel that way. Hopefully, someday, you will find a way out of the skook. I lived there for a few decades and eventually found out that there is such a better world out there that isn't decades behind other counties. A quick Google search would tell you all the statistics that you need about why it's a terrible county to live in. The hillbilly and redneck mentality Is also a good reason to stay away. Anything good that is in the county is far more plentiful elsewhere. Some people just bleed Guers and piss Yeungling. I'm glad I'm not one of them anymore. Best decision I ever made in my life was leaving that wasteland.

The Everwash app. Smaller washes use it primarily. I live in York and use Anderson Car Washes. I can go to both their Anderson branded washes and a few Kwik-Shines they own.

You can spend more, $20 gets you basic with undercarriage and dryers. I think their plans go to $30 a month to max it out.

It’s behind the times, but I wouldn’t call it a “hellscape.” It has a certain charm, and to some who live here, crowded 4-lane highways lined with Paneras and Jersey Mikes as far as the eye can see is more terrifying.

There is history here and good people and opportunities for those who care. I can speak for Pottsville in particular: just got a state-of-the-art Alvernia Campus on top of a slew of new small businesses downtown (axe-throwing place going in soon, new ice cream shop). Yuengling is slowly but surely increasing their community involvement and events as the new guard moves in.

Don’t truly judge a place until you live it and actually know it. And if you lived here 20 years ago, it’s not the same.

I’ve been paying on mine for almost 15 years. Paid back $65,000 out of around $50,000 that I originally borrowed. That $10,000 would have zeroed me out. I about cried when I heard it I have enough money banked to put a decent down payment down but I guess that will have to wait another year. Yeah I hate it here too man.

Where did you want to move to?
