-
the law school is not affiliated with the college;
-
the App Trail does not go thru Carlisle.
-
Yellow Breeches comes out of Michaux somewhere between Ship and Pine Grove Forest. It runs between Mt. Holly Springs and Boiling Springs and empties into the Susq River south of Harrisburg.
-
Letort Springs Run is along the east side of Carlisle. It empties into the Conodoguinet, which empties into the Susq near midtown Harrisburg. Letort and Yellow Breeches are not connected.

I grew up in Carlisle, family still lives there.
It is a FANTASTIC small town. There are a number of breweries, hard cideries, and lots of small businesses. If you go to the the local hang outs enough and you talk with folks you will find folks who like to have fun. If you are one for books, be sure to check out Whistlestop Bookshop. Be sure to check out the farmers market and if you like ice cream there are several nearby creameries.
There are a number of museums not too far away (check out the Army Heritage and Education Center). Try to pay attention to local events. Ask coworkers who live in the area if anything is happening locally.
Also, you can easily get to a number of other small towns and small cities. Having grown up in Carlisle, I thought nearby towns and cities were a long way away.... They're not. Now that I live in the central mountains, I very viscerally know that they are super close to each other. Since you grew up in North Dakota, you will probably think distances Carlislians think are "too far" are nothing for you.
The rental market in the Harrisburg-Carlisle Metro area is, in a word, hot. Sticking with the corporate housing probably will mean fewer headaches for you.

Watched the first 2. Decided they were a rehash of old news. No longer clicking on unoriginal "reporting."

Reply to comment by gregv64 in Moving to mountain region of PA-Tell me how it is? by gregv64
I would visit all of these places. They have different vibes, for sure.
I will say, PA is more affordable for a reason. Rural PA is much poorer and also has worse schools than rural Northern New England (and also Upstate NY, I think, but I'm not as familiar with NY).
Politically, rural PA is more conservative than rural New England and New York.
You only mentioned VT, but NH and ME are mountainous states as well, but they are the more conservative New England states, which I presume aligns with you more based on your comment. However, "conservative" for New England is quite different than in other regions in the country as they are generally more moderate.
Anyway, I digress. My point is that I really recommend you visit all of these Northeastern states. They each have their own flavor with their own pros and cons. Hope this helped.
Edit: I noticed you mentioned concerns about fracking. I'm not familiar enough to know the ins and outs about it in PA, but I know that it's not a concern in the other Northeastern states.
Additionally, idk how important big mountains are to you, but PA has the smallest mountains in the interior Northeast. They get much larger as you go north. If you visit, you'll see

Reply to Shapiro: Pennsylvania DEP will test water in connection with Ohio train derailment by oldschoolskater
We should sue the company and the State of Ohio to cover the costs
If Delaware can get judgements against us for our water runoff damaging the bay, seems only fair for PA to sue Ohio for lighting a train of toxic chemicals on fire

It's a nice place if you like outdoors stuff and the occasional drink.

FWIW, Sheetz is by far the best paying place for this type of work in my area in NW PA. Obviously, it could still be better, but it is a much better option than any other customer service type of job here

as for your question: you know the answer but you think you've cracked some sort of code, which is adorable.

Well you didn’t answer my question so I’ll take that as you saying “I’ve never actually had to deal with these problems and have had a relatively easy life so fuck everyone else”

My dad's family used to tell people "You best not stay here, your car battery won't last the winter" and it took me a very long time to understand that was a threat, not friendly advice.

It says a lot about your company if your employees can't afford to see a dentist.

Reply to comment by WookieeSteakIsChewie in Penn State releases fact sheet on fallout from E. Palestine train derailment by WookieeSteakIsChewie
I intend to call the number that was posted in the article you shared. Thank you for sharing that, btw. My family's farm is on the Eastern side of the state but these are the things we worry about. The documentation that had to be done when 'mad cow disease' was more prominent in the 90s has apparently left a mark on me. It was mostly a steer issue but there were questions about the milk supply and dog food supply too. (if a cow is on it's last legs you sell it; if it is standing when they come for it you get a decent price because it can be used for human consumption, but if it can't stand up it can only be sold for dog food and you get next to nothing for it - but still better than having to bring out the dozer and bury it - so sudden worries about mad cow disease had a lot of family farmers and local vets having to go back a few months and hope they had kept the paperwork for everything)
