Rich Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Rich, she says she knows a better way to get YOU. She says she'll just tell Linda how you said WOMEN should be the ones shoveling. You'll be paying a long, long, torturous time. I'd rather be dead!!:lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marylander Posted March 9, 2011 Author Share Posted March 9, 2011 Grabiak Chevrolet Rte. 22 in New Alexandria Pa./Blairsville. The weekend is a dinner Friday night and a detail clinic on Saturday. Wives accepted, but not necessary. As noted above, some of us may arrive with wives and leave single. And car-less. And wounded. And those will be the lucky ones.

musclejunkie Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Ahh, just east of Pittsburg and west of Johnstown, site of the nations worse flood disaster. Visited the Nat'l Park there last summer. Fascinating story and sad too. Carnegie probably took route 22, years ago from Pittsburg to his South Fork fishing camp in Johnstown. If I go, I'll come single and leave hitched. Sounds like there will be many single women :burnout:available after the event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Yep. But 1889 wasn't the only time. Another one in 1936 and the one in 77 that killed 89 people. This one also killed the city for good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musclejunkie Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Somehow it dawns on me that geographically, it was not a good idea to build a town in a mountain valley with two rivers converging in the middle of town, or to build a huge lake upstream from the town by damming the Conemaugh River, which winds its way down the valley and into Johnstown. I thought the emergency tramway from the town to the mountaintop was an ingenious but rather "too little too late idea". That area in PA is full of history..Cambria Iron Works, the Railroads, Coal. Man, what has happened to our country? Sad, truly sad. Also, on the same trip last summer visited the now defunct Bethlehem Steel town, steel produced in now.... you guessed it.... Communist Red CHINA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Communist Red CHINA![/quote] Tell me about it. Where do you think I worked? The actual buildings where I worked for 35 years are now gone. Torn down for scrap metal. Bethlehem Steel was the largest employer in our town. When they bailed on us after the flood in 77, the town followed and has died a long painful death. Now the major employer here is the hospital. Johnstown proper is nothing more than condemned houses and boarded up businesses and busted up roads. I happen to live in a suburb, but even in this part of town (Upper Yoder), we have to drive 20 miles to a restaurant or stores or mall. If I didn't have to live here, I'd be long gone.

I grew up in Bethlehem, and my dad was an engineer for Bethlehem Steel from about 1965 to 1979. It's sad to see how much the town of Bethlehem -- and all it people, businesses, etc – had to suffer during the slow, slow decline. (I left after college in 1992, dad retired and moved away around 2002). Today we're importing vast amounts of steel from Chine and the biggest thing in Bethlehem is casinos... just sucking away what money the local economy has left. It's a frickin' crime if you as me. :help: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
