Alllll of the drive ins are gone (infact the last one, out in Latrobe became a SuperDuper WallyWorld). Medic's farm is still there (but I think it sold outside the family). His son is our family doctor. If you remember Barnes Lake Road in North Huntingdon (runs from 30 to Clay Pike) well almost all of the family farms there have sold and now the land sports 'McMansions.' PennDOT dragged its feet on traffic plans and Wal-Mart pulled out building a SuperDuper one at Barnes Lake at Rte. 30 (but we are sure they will be back).

Glad that you keep up w/all of the local sports teams...we travel alot up and down the East coast w/our kids' sports and inevitably where we play, somebody on the opposing team has a parent who is a relocated Yunzer. Alsways happens.

Thanks for the update. My brother-in-law said all the farmland around calumet had huge homes on it now too. Funny, I remember when I was quite young; we lived about a half mile outside Irwin. Us kids would walk over Irwin to buy nickel cherry cokes at Rosendahls soda fountain shop, stop at 5&10, Browns cigg/comic book shop, Sam Samsons, and on and on. We left even before that new bypass that crossed rt 30 came thru (between jeanette & greengate mall.

Most our relatives have moved south over the years but wifey's brothers still live in Latrobe & Calumet.

Entirely diff world from where we live now. Eagle is a bush river community, 200 whites, 28 indians 185 miles down a summer open dirt road from nx town; actually split community and they all want to keep it that way, ha. No locks on doors, no keys ever removed from vehicles, once it warms up everyone usually has guns on their belts for bear protection and yet hasn't been a murder in 29 years;;; and that guy was drowned in river by his drunk buddies. No crime to speak of but I still miss all that ethnic food & communities around the burgh. Our kids are starting at UAF this fall and they can't wait to get outta this place, ha; guess that's the same everywhere. PM me your email, and will send some picts from around here if you want to see some. Then you can send some from North Huntingdon.
