Default Planning on moving to New Castle / Monaca area

Anyone have any recommendations on good shops in the area and stealerships?

Also how are the roads? I see alot of roads within the woods which looks amazing, but just curious. Looks very green in PA.

Can't recommend any shops but welcome to the area! Great Avatar pic by the way. As for the roads they are a mixed bag. Tons of fun with the twisties and the elevation changes however the road surfaces tend not to be the greatest and you always need to keep an eye out for deer.

All that being said its a blast to go on cruises around here. Welcome to the party!

Welcome curian, as Hannibal said there are lots of good roads in your new area. Let everyone know when you get settled.

Thanks for the responses, yeah Aryton Senna is a legend.

How are the people in Pittsburgh? Do you all enjoy living in the area?

You changed your pic to some hottie and now I look like a perv!!!! Either way Senna is the MAN. I love living here in the burgh. I grew up here and moved to the DC Metro area for 3 years after my wife and I got married. We moved back to the burgh as soon as we could. The people are nicer, everything costs less, and the pace of living is just a lot slower and more comfortable.

I have traveled pretty much everywhere in the US on business and I could live anywhere on the East Coast and still maintain my same position but I love being home.

I think you will enjoy living here and will find plenty of things to do. Let us know once you land and we can try and meet up and show you some sights.

Welcome, I live in the New Castle area. There are some good roads here . Although lately it seems to be tar & chip season for PennDOT on country roads, I've had to make a few detours. They should be back to normal in 1-2 weeks. I can hookup with you & show you a few of my favorite routes.

With the exception of Hannibal the Perv and Aldo the Enforcer, we're a pretty good bunch of people. You will be experiencing some great drives especially in the Fall, nicest time of year.

As you can see we all generally get along. There are a few bad apples (Jumpy Guy) but that is to be expected when you have someone who is at least 70 trying to keep up with a younger generation.

Seriously welcome to the group again and we all are generally pretty fun....we think.

You're right, head up that way often. But my favorite is Rt 318 between West Middlesex & Mercer, lots of good bends!
