Reply #17: nobody goes west.... [View All]

this is a bedroom county for Harrisburg -- and the major highway isn't the pike (not for locals) but I-81/581/83. The county's so-called "West Shore" (across the Susquehanna River from H'burg) is also thick with retail and professional jobs, so many people work there. There is some commuting to Baltimore and DC, though that would mostly be professionals who have occasional business in those places. Carlisle has both a small liberal arts college and the U.S. Army War College, so you have a fair number of people who travel on an irregular basis for work-related events. If anyone goes west, it would be toward Chambersburg (PA) and Hagerstown (MD), but that is really southwest. Nobody goes straight west -- nothing there.
