[happyslug]

1. List of Counties without an admitted DUer:

* Beaver County (City of Beaver)
* Bedford County

* Cameron County (Northern State Forest)
* Carbon County
* Clarion County (Allegheny Forest)
* Clinton County (Northern State Forest)
* Columbia County (Blue Mountain Ridge)

* Elk County (Allegheny Forest)

Some of the people in the above counties must have access to the net, even if it is just dial up service.

"Allegheny Forest" is the Counties in Which Allegheny National Forest Exists.

"Northern State Forest" are the counties in the North Central part of the state where Various State Forests exist that together equal or exceeds Allegheny National Forest. Sometimes these are referred to a the "Endless Mountains" for the Appalachian Mountain Chain turns 90 degrees in Northern Pennsylvania. In Southern Pennsylvania the Appalachian Mountain Chain takes up about 1/3 of the distance between the West Virginia and New Jersey State lines, while the Appalachian Mountain Chain STARTS at the New Jersey/ New York Line in Northern Pennsylvania and continues 3/4 the way across the state. This is the main reason the first roads, railroads and Canals went through Southern Pennsylvania. Even today most truckers perfer the Pennyslvania Turnpike (Southern Pennsyvania Route) to Interstate 80 (Northern Pennsylvania Route) do to having to go through less mountians.

"Blue Mountain Ridge" are counties West and North of Blue Mountain. Blue Mountain is the the first Mountain Ridge West and North of Harrisburg in the Appalachian Mountain Chain. This is the first real divide in Pennsylvania.

"Northern Tier Counties" are those counties along the New York Border.

"Upper Delaware River" is those counties north of Trenton New Jersey on the Delware River

[rkc3]

2. I'll change my profile to break the tie and move

Westmoreland County to #2 on the list.

[happyslug]

7. Closer in with Allegheny County

You represented an 8.33% increase (1/12th) increase in the number of Westmoreland DUers, while the Number of Allegheny DUers only increased by just 3.22% (or 1/31 increase) this month. Just think Westmoreland Increase was TWICE the rate as Allegheny County's increase (Don't tell me in both county it was just an increase of ONE, if the GOP can play with Numbers to justify their plan on Social Security, I can play with numbers to).

[Bunny]

8. HAHAHA! Number crunching, are we?

Thanks for keeping the list updated, happyslug! :thumbsup:

PS - I love how you listed the "city" of Vandergrift. It is a H-U-U-U-U-U-U-G-E metropolis!

3. I'm not 101er anymore. Thanks.

[liberalnurse]

4. I'm originally from Butler County.....

My family live in Allegheny County now.

[happyslug]

5. But your profile says OHIO.

So I put you in Allegheny County list, if you do not want to be listed just tell me.

[liberalnurse]

6. No, you don't have to do that.....

my address is Ohio. I just go home to Pittsburgh on weekends. I just had to share. Thats where my heart is......


Groundhog Day is my favorite holiday too.

[happyslug]

10. You are as bad as me, I Go home to Pittsburgh on the Weekends.

Johnstown is a nice place, but my family is from Pittsburgh so that is where I go.

[cwwbell]

12. I'm new to DU but...

If listed I could be the tiebreaker for Montgomery County. I moved out of Philadelphia only six months or so ago, too... Who goes on the list? Only die-hards?

[happyslug]

13. Varies

Most of the people are like you, added their name to a thread and I added to the list. I tend to make a new list every Holiday (I did not intend it that way, just happened and since it happened I have continued the patten).

Now some I have added by their profile, but unless someone puts down their city it is hard to find which county their are living in. Thus I have used profiles, most of the people on the list added themselves.

If you want to see how the list developed go to the following threads:

This thread started the concept of listing by County:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=175&topic_id=401

I than took the names and organized them by Counties and have been doing it every Holiday or so since. Samples of previous lists:
