The county seat of Franklin County,
a place that Benjamin Franklin never actually visited.
One of the most boring places in the
United States. Its downtown area is only 6 blocks, and comprised mostly of churches. It has the highest amount of churches per capita. Its mall, or what remains of
one, has continuously been ranked as one of the most dead malls in America, with no anchor stores remaining.
Chambersburg has the
unique position of being a city surrounded by rural farmland. This causes the
unique demographic makeup of the community. It has a very
high amount of Hispanic residents, who work on the surrounding farms for low wages. These Hispanics primarily live in the downtown area, along with blacks, which is the main reason why the downtown area hasn't suffered from urban decay like other cities. Most whites live in the suburbs.
The education is awful, with less than 70% of
people holding a high school diploma and a dropout rate of 25%. Public transportation is nonexistent, with no taxis, trains, or buses operating in the city. Chambersburg claims it has "an amazing position that is very close to major cities like New
York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington D.C.," when in
reality, it is at least two hours away from each of those cities. Things to do in Chambersburg include drinking, smoking, partying, hunting, cow tipping, watching white
people act black, and attempting/succeeding in committing suicide.
It is a place where fun goes to die.
