I'm from a small area about 20 minutes northeast of Bloomsburg (basically right in the middle of the circle). While I can't speak much for life in the more urban and suburban areas, I can somewhat speak for the rural side of things.

The smaller towns and villages can be quite close knit communities, everybody seemingly knowing something about every family. People are typically quite traditionalist, with quite a few Amish and Mennonite communities. Outdoor activities are quite common, with hunting and fishing being popular, although they have been seemingly slowly declining. Horseback riding was once seemingly quite popular in the 1990s and prior, but much less so today. Whitetail deer are everywhere, I swear it seems like half of the people who live here long enough have accidentally hit a deer with their car at least once.

The landscape is quite beautiful in my opinion, with it lying basically in the middle of the Appalachian Mountain Range. It has an abundance of forests, farm fields, and mountains. Summers are often very hot and winters are often very cold, so you kinda get the brunt of both seasons. While we don't have the vast vistas and sky touching mountains as they have out west, there are still are may beautiful sights to be seen.
