That’s understandable, just look for something outside of the city proper of Tamaqua and you should be alright. Also go to La Dolce Casa if you’re into cheesesteak and pizza.

I grew up in Tamaqua, I wouldn't recommend to anyone moving anywhere near there. But I guess it depends on what your version of nice is. There are some farm like settings around it, like west penn or new ringgold, but it's generally a very depressed area, and very heavy on the conservative side.
