Any Washington County/Pittsburgh DISers here?

Hi!

We are in the process of relocating to South Strabane, PA and was wondering if there are any DISers from that area. Please tell me all about it!

Thanks!

I don't know much about South Strabane but Pittsburgh is a great place to live!

I live in another suburban county that borders Washington so I can't tell you much about South Strabane - just wanted say Welcome to Pittsburgh.

It really is a nice place to live. The city itself small, but beautiful and there is so much to do and see. Friendly people, good schools and wonderful medical facilities. There is an excellent zoo, science center, museum and children's museum.

Washington County also borders Allegheny County (Pittsburgh) and from what I do know, you should only be about 30 minutes from the city. The Peters Township area in Washington County has seen a lot of growth and new construction over the past 10 years. You would be closest to what is know as the "South Hills" of suburban Pittsburgh. Lots of shopping, etc.

In addition to Pittsburgh's great sports teams, Washington County is also home of the minor league Washington Wildthings baseball team. It's a nice ball park and very family friendly. The Meadows race track and casino is also in Washington County and there is a new outlet mall there as well.

One thing you will definately notice is that we've got a lot more hills than NJ LOL.

Wish I could tell you more. Welcome to Pittsburgh - I hope you like it here.

Haha good ol' WashPA. Thats pretty much where I grew up. Do you have any really specific questions? Which school district will you be in?

 

[FormrCastMbr]

Thanks Tink888! We are actually going to be fairly close to the racetrack and shopping. Yes, not so many hills in Jersey!

Not so many specific questions...did you like the area? My sons will go to the Trinity schools. Thanks!

I'm in Greene County, which is just south of Washington. We shop in South Strabane weekly. There is so much to do in the Pittsburgh area. I've heard Trinity School District is a good one.

Anyway, welcome to the area!

Welcome to Pittsburgh!

Are you and your family sports fans? Buy some black n gold and you'll fit right in. If not, people will love to talk about the rivalry between your team and any Pgh team. (ok, maybe not the Pirates, but PNC Park is a great ball park.)

Tink888 summed it up really well. I'm sure you'll like it here, Pittsburghers are very friendly and helpful.

Sorry for not responding sooner. We just got back from a Disney cruise and a few days in the parks. We actually live in South Strabane and in Trinity School district. If you have any specific questions, please PM me. Welcome!
