Huntingdon is a wonderful little town. It's surrounded on all sides by the beautiful low mountains of Central Pennsylvania, with their forested flanks and their rocky peaks. The valleys on all sides are narrow and long and filled with ancient farms and their immense farmhouses and big barns. There are Trump signs on many of the yards in the countryside surrounding the town--which gives me pause, since I associate Trump with bigotry and hate. But the town of Huntindgon has pretty parks, classy old mansions, ornate churches, shady streets, a nice little shopping district, and some really cool features like coffee shops, and microbreweries, and antique stores. There's a private college here and no shortage of beautiful people. As mentioned recently, it also has an Amtrak daily to New York. Oh, and a cool little church turned Orthodox with an onion dome added just to bring the point home. What more could you ask from a small town in the mountains.
