It's not as if all the people who live in towns like Smethport in the northern tier of PA are culturally-isolated redneck white trash "townsies" with no education. You'd find quite the opposite, actually. There are very respectable, professional people here. It's easy to see that just from the pics in this thread.

In fact, you'll find more redneck white trash whose minds would be blown by what they would see on the internet (if they had cable) in close proximity to Pittsburgh, than you'll find here. It's real easy... northern tier towns are just miles from New York, towns around Pittsburgh are just miles from West Virginia... both are Appalachia, but there is a big difference.
