I recommend Lancaster, it is one of the coolest small cities in the country right now, great music of all sorts and art scene, and in under 10min you can be in woods/wilderness/nature

Under 2 hours from Philly and Baltimore

But I don't think it meets your distance from Boston, I think it's like 6 hours away (but we have an Amtrak station)

Stroudsburg is a nice even smaller city than Lanc, or a big town, being in the Poconos is cool, there a few more super hardcore right wing christo-fascist areas around there tho

Oh I mean 6ish is fine, that's doable for a weekend trip back home. Spent a month in Coudersport and that was a heavy 8 hours to and fro. Lancaster sounds super cool, will look it up! Thanks a ton! That's a good tip about the Poconos area, that can easily be a deal breaker

Tbf, Lancaster County is Red, Lancaster City is Blue and has always been progressive

Southern Lanc County is a bit more agressive, but not like some areas of the Poconos those are like true militia people, or at least in greater numbers than around here
