This area (southeast of Pittsburgh) was once the coal and coke (cooked
down coal) provider for the Steel Mills.

Coke is no longer produced here, but the remnants of those days are
everywhere, from old rail yards to rows of coke ovens.

The area remains depressed (relatively), so there has been an effort
to woo technology firms to help bolster the local economy.

Most open land is owned and held until natural Gas is found. Then the
money pours in while the pittance taxes go out.

Good luck finding 20 acres. It's either 200+ or 1/4 acre -- very few
McMansions around here.

Too bad, I was thinking of a cabin and small strip for a STOL.
