my child went to a summer dance program at SRU, but unfortunately came down with something while there. She eventually had to go to the ER and was taken to...Grove City.

One town in that part pf PA I will not be going through again is Worthington. After seeing the controversial sign on the main street there, I was afraid I was going to be swarmed by the KKK.
