Williamsport *used* to be a very rich town, then they invented the train ;^)

There were a lot of large houses (Millionaire row), but last I heard they were turning those into Marijuana Factories, with grow lights and poor wiring, eventually they were burning down...

It was a pretty area, but no one ever really *left* - there seemed to be a lot of not quite distant enough cousins marrying, IMHO...

Hehe.... I was a local. At least I wasn't born there. Did a 4 year stint in the
area. They were long on trailertrash thinking and short on ambition.
