Another Small Town PA Paper Endorses Obama!
Edited on Mon Apr-14-08 09:29 AM by HootieMcBoob
This is the town I grew up in. Very small town about 25 miles SW of Pittsburgh near the WV border.

12. Yeah, it is.
I thought that maybe you were from Burgettstown, or somewhere closer to the WV border. Now, I live 45 minutes from Washington, in Morgantown.

2. Kick, because I don't have enough posts to send a PM.
On the hopes that you'll see my previous question.

5. Washington PA, home of the Pony League World Series, is not THAT small... about 25,000.....


But still... relatively small by today's standards.

6. Current population is 15,268
It's a small town! I left there when I was 18 years old. Pretty much all of my family still lives there and I get back a few times a year. Oh yeah, it's a small town. :)

9. Are you counting South Franklin and North Franklin townships.... as well as South Strabane? They're
all pretty much part of "Washington", even if their post office is different.

10. that's from the "city" website
so I don't think it counts the townships.
But, no matter how you cut it Washington is pretty much the typical small Pennsylvania town.
