Is PA diverse?, where I live, we're all mostly Hispanic. Once you get 4 hours north into San Antonio, you start seeing more diversity.

 

I'm surprised that a native Texan referred to Pennsylvania as "PA"...

Generally only the natives do!

To answer your question, yes...

PA is very diverse in terms of everything; Race/skin color/ethnic background, religion, and political beliefs.

The East/Southeast region (where I live; Philadelphia is just under an hour from my house and the most populous city in PA) is the most densely populated area of the state. The second largest city in PA is Pittsburgh, in the Western part of the state. The Eastern and Western parts of PA are the most diverse. The central part of PA, sometimes referred to as "Pennsyltucky," is largely white.

My area has a lot of Russian, Asian, and Latin/Hispanic/South American immigrants. Guatemalan immigrants are quite prevalent in Doylestown. There are a lot of Asians just over the line in Montgomery County (I live in Bucks County), especially in Montgomeryville/Montgomery Township/North Wales.

There is a large Hispanic (especially Puerto Rican) community in Southeast PA.

There are not many black people living in suburbs. Cities like Philly (in its own county), Allentown (Lehigh County), Bethlehem (divided between Lehigh and Northampton County, Easton (Northampton County), and Reading (Berks County) are much more ethnically diverse than their respective suburbs.

 

Lol, I was too lazy to spell out Pennsylvania.

 

David Ohlerking, an artist and just one of the many great people you're likely to meet in Doylestown. Here we see David and his kid-painted '97 Crown Vic...

 

One thing David is very well known for is parking his one-of-a-kind Crown Vic in a seemingly random spot in Doylestown, and painted whatever street scene is directly in front of him.

Today my friend Pat's sandwich shop, Coach's, is a focal point in the painting...

 

They're doing some masonry work on "Big Blue" today...

 

I like that style of house.

 

It's bigger than it looks...

There's more house than there is yard!

 

That style of house isn't found here, where I live. Mostly every house in this area is made out of ceramic materials.

 

Adobe/Southwest-style?

 

Anything is possible with money, but it sounds like it might not be worth it. Does the A/C compressor engage?

 

Is the A/C complete? You might be better off just parting it out making some extra money.

 

Could you do an engine swap on your own? See if you can track down an engine for sale...?

 

You should try! And why won't the engine run? You've still got 4 cylinders!

 

This guy at the Coffeehouse Center (club for young adults with Aspergers), his grandpa had a '98 F150 with the 5.4L V8. He put like 200K on it, and one of the cylinders went. He drove it with 7 cylinders for a few days and then had a low-mileage engine put in, and kept driving the truck.

 

You can find some way to make it work.

 

Us gear heads use whatever we have at our disposal, no matter how unorthodox...

My friend drives 18-wheelers for a living, and when he was an OTR trucker, his radiator developed a leak. He was in the middle of nowhere, so he purchased some tampons at the truck stop and used them to plug the radiator! It actually worked!

 

No, brick houses is what I meant.

 

In my school, we're 100% Hispanic. The staff is 99.9% hispanic except for the football coach. He is a white man.
