What I saw recently

Some pics that have been hanging around my hard drive lately:

 The mighty Tide

 I had an older version of this type of sled when I was a kid.  We used to sled down the hill at Florence Street, which used to be called "Mary's Hill."  We'd rub wax on the runners to make the sled slide better.  (Someone always had a piece of wax. Where they got it, I don't know.)
Sledding was great when the snow was packed solid and had frozen into ice.  When it wasn't packed down, you just sort of laid there on your sled, sank into the snow, and didn't go anywhere.

 This piece of junk sat on Locust Street for several days until it finally disappeared.  It was there for so long that I thought someone was about to open a health club.

 I still say there's a TARDIS in there somewhere.

oh my - thought this was settled years ago....hearing now its not. sneaky...all the taxpayers think the Boro is still upgrading/building a new plant ??? are they ? or are they going with LASA ?
... WHY go with LASA..WHY in the world would you sell the sewer plant??? the Boro owns it..it brings money into the Boro...it'll cost $$$ MILLIONS to sign up with LASA and the costs immediately TRIPLES monthly. Municipal Authority mtg is today at 4:30
