You are right. There needs to be noise from the employees.

Good time to form a union. Don't settle for a no walkout clause either.

I use plastic containers. You are welcome!

I just realized how many of my garden veggies are purple this year. Fairy Tale eggplant, purple tomantillo, Indigo Rose tomato and Russian purple kale. The purple cabbage isn't ready yet and the purple rutabagas aren't either. The Fairy Tale eggplant is only about 4-5 inches long but there are at least 10 of them on each plant and you can eat them skin and all. The flesh is creamy and delicious. Highly recommend this one. 

Blue cohosh maybe?
 

I got an email sent to me last night from Marcia Golubski who scanned a photo of Buzz with some local hill boys.
 
The local boys in the picture on the left are the Kutsel boys, Ron, Bobe & Mike.  Vic Tiskus on the bottom middle and I'm not sure who the other two are.
 

Moving this thread to the "Local History Forum"

I used to run from Highland St. & down across Maple bridge & out to the mall years ago.  There was a path then & a train also out to the mall.  Got caught one day between the water/bank & climbed up the steep bank waiting for the train to pass, only slightly frightened hanging onto some weeds for support.
  
Anyway, I think any improvement would be great.  The plan, if I'm correct, is to eventually connect with other trails/towns.  That'd be amazing.  
 
This thread is not for couch potatoes.  They cannot understand the natural euphoria experienced with being in touch with nature.   More people should get out, they might like it.  Biking is easy, fun, and a great stress reliever.
 
By the way, the Brockway to Ridgway trail is such a beautiful & flat trail.   Definitely one of my favorites!  

I think it is a wonderful idea ....... I grew up in the area of the tunnel back in the 60's   and remember when trains used it daily ..... I would love to see not only the tunnel but also the two bridges ( 1 over Maple ave and 1 over Chestnut) converted to walker / rider use and even completed the entire way to Shaffer road (the mall area)  instead of becoming an eyesore and dumping ground  .... If you have never been on a rails to trails bike / hike path.... you should try it ..... we use the one in Brockway all the time and have ridden just short of being in Ridgway it is very a peaceful and very beautiful trail ....  I believe it would be a welcomed addition the  community and would also cut down on the congestion of bike and walkers on beaver walkway.
