    1. [PITTSBURGH] Moving to this list
    2. Al, I moved the discussion to this list. Before we both get booted from Allegheny. I agree with you. Garfield was a great neighborhood before the project, now it isn't. Penn Ave. used to be a nice place to shop. As a kid I never felt in danger and I roamed from the top of Garfield Hill down to Penn Ave. Now I hate to have to pass through, I can't even think of living there. Since I don't have air conditioning, I must be rich. LOL Rosanne, My family lived in the Terrace Village projects between 1948 and 1954. When WWII was over, our family was booted from an apartment at 3604 Fifth Ave in Oakland so that the landlord could divide the apartment in two and thus collect more rent. Nobody wanted to rent to someone who had kids so my dad found this dump down on Boundary St in Panther Hollow and we lived there until we could get in Terrace Village. The idea of the projects being a helping hand was noble but, instead of being a TEMPORARY hand of help, it became a way of life for a group of people and it's become worse than most people are aware. The housing authority owns private homes all over the city and places their "tenants" in these homes and takes care of all repairs and maintenace. They'll even install air-conditioning, if the tenants want it. Hell, I had to work and save for years before I could afford to air-condition my house. I should have refused to work, gone on welfare and live in one of their homes. Hell, I'd even ask for a swimming pool in the back yard. Might even get one. Something's really screwed up in this society. I remember when being poor meant that you didn't have cars, TVs, computers and all those other expensive items. Air-conditioning? Forget that! Remember when the movie theaters used to advertise that they had AIR-CONDITIONING to draw in customers during the hot, sweltering nights of summer? Now it's considered a "right" for the poor to have all of these things. But if you have all of these things, why are you considered "poor"? And needing help??

Most of the other state's censuses were done when a state was a territory before it would apply to statehood. The federal government did offer to fund a state census for any state that wanted it in 1885, but PA did not partake. Tax lists can sometimes be used as a census substitute. Southwest PA does have extant tax lists for the 1798 federal "pane" tax, so named since they taxed window panes. -- Elissa ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!

    3. Ginnie, I'll have to pass on the role of guest speaker. Evidently you have never heard my voice. I have to speak softly so as not to scare people, especially kids. It's a gruff, deep, bass and I can project it quite some distance. I don't use a radio at fires other than to talk to the dispatch operator. My men can hear me better when I don't use a radio. My voice is so deep that it causes me problems. Over the radio, people have a hard time understanding me because of its depth. If I raise it an octave so people can hear better, they think I'm excited and, if I so excited, then it must be a really tough fire and then they get excited and excited people make stupid mistakes. My solution is too speak as little as possible but in a slow tempo. Compared to a stereo system, my voice is probably between a woofer and a sub-woofer. Still want me to speak?

Socrates was accused of sophmorism and sentenced to die of hemroyds. U.Clid proved that there is more than one side to every plain. Archimedes made the first steamboat and power drill. During the Dark Ages it was mostly dark. Monks simply preyed by day and played by night. Margo Polo visited Kukla Kahn, who rained in China at the time. Machiavelli, who was often unemployed wrote The Prince to get a job with Richard Nixon. Italy, of course was much closer to the rest of the world, thanks to northern Europe. The invention of the sex tent helped to determine place and orientation at sea. The Vikings, of course had already saled as far as Colorado, where several of their campsights can still be visited today. The Holy Omen empire soon collapsed... Philosophy was based on falsies and this led to shaky foundations. Another problem was that France was full of French people...

    3. Barb, I was being facetious about Plum Boro. Since they chased the cows out, there is a lot of development going on in Plum Boro. When they run out of room to develop Plum, the next stop for those eastward bound will be Westmoreland County and that's on fire now with all the development going on east of Monroeville. I can remember when the Miracle Mile and the Holiday House where the only real attractions in Monroeville. Now it's a nightmare with traffic congestion rivalling downtown Pgh. I think that may be one of the reason that Rob Cochran is building his new showroom out on 22.

    3. Barb, Reading previous e-mails, it could have been Bill Greens but that would have been 50 years ago. More than likely it was the Ankara which is about 5 or 6 minutes from Carrick. I live in Beechview and, before Century III, I was able to drive to Riverview Golf Course (through Elizabeth) in about 30 minutes. I can drive to Century III in about 15-20 minutes, depending on the time of day, traffic and whether PennDot is constructing more potholes along 51.

    2. You are so right Al. Talent is no longer a criteria for success in music. BTW, I haven't heard from Mac, maybe I was the first one to tell him he is old and its just sinking in. hmmm. Guess I had better apologize. For our next fan club meeting, we would like you as our guest speaker. We need people to sign up soon as the booth only holds 12-15.
