  1. The new forum is a monster job..Thanks

  2. Oh,for a return to such a self-respecting discipline which was to contrast the program which went on "over there".I don't pray for another depression...But our current admin may produce such a reinactment when frustrated,desperate,financially-strapped powers again march against each other...
  3. That store with the larger awning next to the Hogan-Martin store was Woolworths...I worked there as a school student and"floor walker"in the early fifties..My job was to report to the management anybody who was shoplifting..It was a shocking introduction to me as a kid about petty crime in DuBois...
  4. The Quiet Woman featured,in a painting, a seated, HEADLESS woman.
  5. Wardens of either jail may lose their position when inmates who have been released for charity work come back with drugs. Commissionors can't tolerate that.
  6. Robert Frost always said, "Provide,provide or somebody else'll provide for ya".....
  7. Get a plot with a perpetual care contract.This Rumbarger thing should show us that our neighbor or schoolkids or some disabled do-gooder and certainly some local municpality will never show up to tend your momma's grave...If you buy it it's your property and how it looks FOREVER depends on you...
  8. All of the old rails to trails will need volunteers.......They're great ...Only a few will ever use or appreciate them..WE who understand can make some here..,,,,Own a bike..Get together with the planners,join a work group, and do some of the work...... maybe just by yourself.......I think the old Highland Street tunnel shown runs under that school property....
  9. Our beloved"flat" flooded many years as flood control by the US. Corps of Engineers of Sandy Creek hadn't occured yet..The Acme was long gone when I was a kid so 1936,2 years before I was born, could be right............But the picture really gets me because of the TAVERN sign on the other side of the tracks...The building's gone but it became Carmella's Restaurant,a neat, popular place the whole town ate and drank in from the end of the 40's to the early 60's..The bar was on Long Avenue with the restaurant behind it. The door to the restaurant was along the tracks..In the early 50's the most popular meal was the spagetti dinner for .65 cents and the shrimp dinner for what looked wildly expensive at $1.25..I was 12 or 13 .And OMG,once a month,in the early 50's, they ran a special with 2 spagetti dinners for $1.00.If my folks went out of town they gave me a dollar and I ate BOTH dinners and then staggered up Long avenue.....
  10. I wish I always got an absolute truth for every mystery on earth ..maybe later?
  11. It's the time of the Korean war..1951 to 1953..The car is a Packard...A State official died ?...Game over..
  12. I'm 73..The car is a Hudson..(from Eastside Garage)... What gets it for me.Is the new parking meters(people hated them).(One appeared in front of our house) and the delibert disregard for them by the driver of the car..(DuBoisites hated them).... I think it's 1951(+/-) just after we declared war in Korea..The recruiting posters show the war was cranking up..Many DuBois reserves went after marching around in the Reserve Training Facility (now The Hitching Post) and bivouacing up where Coke Hill is now..I rode my bicycle up to watch them just before they went.....
  13. You can make your plant bloom again....It will be a spiritual experience....My grandmother had a number of them which always amazed the family iwhen they showed up for the holidays.....She always claimed it was the sunlight,temperature and contolled humidity..But you'll need to pick the right sunny window ...
  14. I always heard that one of the Bundys in the original settlement had a servant named Buleah.quite a talkative type who got around alot ..When people met her and always knew she'd have something to say,they'd usually say,"What say Buleah? ( SABULA).
