go for it tom

I like the idea - beats a plain old wall at the top of the stairs.

Those are some cool pictures from the past! I really enjoy reading little tidbits of history like those.

route 8 is going up hill towards Butler, optical illusion, but thats why "front" doesn't face route 8, almost would not see it going south.

(at the time, I was on lay-off from GM - this was during the Carter years -- high unemployment - the Steel Industry was shutting down in Pittsburgh, and inflation was at double digits - as was interest rates.......not a good time in Western Pennsylvania -- or for the rest of the nation for that matter...)

.............well.......................

..............................they showed up BEFORE our parents went to Arizona.

There was a lot of yelling and carrying-on the day they showed up -

We sold every one of 'em.......and made money doing it............

I'd love to have a pristine 1980 Malibu wagon now. The ultimate sleeper. LS motor 6 speed, etc. etc.
