It’s a nice place. I also found a brewery in Bedford too. Olde Bedford Brewing

This is true. Rural PA is super racist/conservative :(. I can’t tell you how many times people would come up to me and just say “so how about that Obama?” And expect me to agree and say something nasty. It has decent, polite, open minded people too though, and once you find them, it’s a nice place, generally to live.

Everett has a drug problem so I’d probably stick towards bedford in town or out in the country

There are some restaurants in bedford, there’s a farm to table place and some niche restaurants and a chain or two. I don’t know about a brewery at all though but I haven’t been back since my dad died and that was in 2017. I went to bedford middle and high school and had a decent quality education, graduated top ten, they offered AP courses my senior year, graduated with 120 kids so not too small or too big. My circle of friends ended up being a dentist, a chiropractor, pharmacist, a university registrar and I work in A.I. so I think we had a good starting education. I would say that would be better than Everett or Chestnut Ridge, or Northern Bedford/Tussy Mountain schools.

I did hear that the meth and heroin were getting bad though 🙁

Born and raised there, but moved away for job opportunities. I would move back if I could but only because I grew up in the country and it was so quiet and peaceful. We used to drive to Johnstown or Altoona if we wanted to do any real shopping, see movies or go to restaurants. Both are about 45 minutes. Hiking and biking could be done at Buchanan state forest possibly
