Route 219 - Near Ebensburg - Unknown Year

Paving the way to the future

Main Street - 1890's - paving with bricks.

Paving Time

Locust Street - you can just barely see Glossers on the left hand side. This is now the site of the post office. Laying brick has to be one of the most back breaking jobs that was around - I give all those guys credit - some of their handwork is still doing service in 2014. Too bad - there's still nothing that will last as long as brick in this day and age.

Terra Cotta Time

The much maligned terra cotta pipe work - for those of us living here -  you will understand why this picture pisses me off so much - it will cost homeowners a lot of money to replace all of this crap - thru no fault of our own. Before anybody gets on a rant - replacing terra cotta drains is a state mandate - not the fault of city officials. So I don't want to hear any complaints in regards to Johnstown officials - warning - I will delete them.
On a more positive note - nice shot of some of the downtown stores along Main Street...Elites, Apryle Jewelers, Nemo and Richman's way down the other end.
