We left Pittsburgh 35 years ago to raise our family in Butler. We don't regret it.

We still have siblings living in Pittsburgh and wouldn't change places with them for anything.

I know that Butler doesn't have much to offer young professionals and all our kids left the area to find good jobs, but it's a great place for young children and for us elderly.

Even with the influx of drug users and crime, I like it here much more than in Pittsburgh.
