I've lived in Southern Chester County most of my life and have seen it morph from farm land to suburban sprawl over the past 50 years. There's still a lot of beautiful countryside to walk thru (the movie, The Village, was filmed nearby). But traffic is brutal, newcomers complain about the smells emanating from the mushroom houses, and my town is becoming a tourst destination.
However, I'm not ready to move to Alaska yet as I do love scrapple, TastyKakes and Herr's potato chips...
