Harrisburg

a little piece of my heart will always remain in Harrisburg. although i was born down the road in Reading, i still have family in Harrisburg and i think its a most beautiful place. especially in the autumn wen the leave cahnge colour.
i really enjoy going bak to chill out there and see my family.

I lives here!
So come visit me.
There’s nothing to do really…
But if you’re a stranger, it will definitely be fun.
I’m fun around strangers =]

My parents moved there and I’ve been able to visit several times. It’s pretty weak, though the downtown revitalization may change that over time.

... I couldnt imagine that it would be an all too attractive tourist destination for those that need to prioritize. But it is certainly worth visiting and a great place to live though!

The night-life has changed a bit in downtown HArrisburg in the past 3-4 years with the addition of some clubs and bars (disappearance of some unique personal favorite spots—i.e. the vault, the wyre); good or bad there are more drunken 20somethings out and about raising hell in the streets.

There is also city-island where you can go catch a minor league ball game or soccer game or go for a bike-ride or walk. if you are into camping and hiking, there are lots of trails (e.g. appalachian trail) and parks in the area. there are museums, a movie theatre that plays indie/foreign flics, the forum where you can see/hear the harrisburg symphony or other shows—for that matter there is always live music throughout the week somewhere (e.g. http://www.hbgonline.com/), or if theatre is your thing there are play houses (e.g. gamut) etc, etc.

you can get Indian food and sushi/sashimi among other kinds of food. Harrisburg is also close to Lancaster (Amish country) and Hershey (home of Hershey Chocolate). Philly, Pittsburgh, State College (Penn State), and Baltimore are all with in a 2-3 hours drive too.

Nothing but business and politics

In between colleges and all that jazz I live in the Harrisburg area. I love it there… lots to do and see.

Taken on July 4th from the top of the Fulton Bank building.

Very nice place to visit or move to. Close to Baltimores’ Inner Harbor, Philadelphia, Pocono Mountains. Lots of State Parks and Lakes nearby. Housing at a good price.

Being a big city guy (New York, Boston, Philadelphia), I never thought I’d get away from the Northeast Corridor. But I love it here! We recently bought a 1920’s house that we’ve done a bit of work on, and it’s fantastic…at a price that makes my Boston and California friends cry. OK, it’s not like New York where there are a thousand things to do every weekend, but if you do a little networking, you can find pretty much anything you’re looking for.

I will someday inherit a house here. If my life is still in disarray I may actually return. It could be a good place to retire, but … if you are young or have an actual active life it is not for you.
