A few Pennsylvania tidbits from the August issue of Money Magazine.
Geisinger Health System in Pennsylvania is the first U.S. hospital offering a warranty on surgery (p. 31)
The cover story, "The Best places to live," features 100 towns that have "everything any family could want." Pennsylvania has four towns on the list:
#9 Nether Providence (Wallingford)
#12 West Goshen
#15 Horsham
#87 Emmaus
An accompanying article "Where we'll live tomorrow," (p. 104-105) by Joel Kotkin contains this interesting quote:
One would imagine that the residents of Philadelphia, a city of well-established neighborhoods, would identify strongly with their communities. Yet a recent Temple University study found that nearby suburbanites were considerably more likely than city dwellers to see their neighborhood as "home."
(An abstract of that study "Where We Stand: Community Indicators for Metropolitan Philadelphia," which has multiple authors, is available, with a link to the full study for those interested in more data.)
