The Greater Harrisburg Area

My husband Bob and I were raised here in the Harrisburg area.  Although we've had opportunities to relocate, we love the Central Pennsylvania area and decided to raise our children here.  I hope the following list of  websites will be a good resouce and helpful in learning about the area.
