    PE as a holiday destination? PE Dogs your input please

    I have lived in PE since 74 and in its own insidious way it creeps under your skin. A 15-20 min place, more of a village feel than a metropole. Of course it has its problems, however imho on a smaller scale than some other metropoles. It really depends on what you want out of your home base-...
