Yeah, Midland was always known for their parades and celebrations. But since I began visiting there (1989), they've fallen on hard times. J&L doesn't pay like they used to. And the median age of Midland residents must be 60. Since you went to Midland for July 4, I have to ask; where did you grow up , and where did you go to high school? My ex-wife went to Quigley.
It's been a long time since I had an Iron City beer.
You must be at least 35! LOL!
Wifey and I were checking out that relatively new science museum dahn by the river/old Three Rivers stadium.
On one of the top floors of that museum was a room full of Macintosh computers with internet connections. Very little visitor traffic there at the time. The only people my wife & I saw there surfing the Web were AMISH/MENNONITES (not sure which) -- complete with traditional garb. That struck me as really cool.
