CITY LIFE: Gloria Lloyd writes us, “”Living in Smethport most of
my life, then moving to Pittsburgh last year, I was used to all the
wildlife, I thought. I now live in the Castle Shannon area, and
have deer (up to 13 at a time) in my back yard – but the
turkeys!””[neWLine]
“”They are huge and are crazy! They will chase you around the
yard like the ducks at Hamlin Lake used to.[neWLine]
“”Sometimes city people all get grouped together but Sunday
after work I was at the T (trolley) stop waiting to go home when a
lady’s car died in the middle of a busy intersection. Of course,
all the impatient drivers started honking horns and speeding out
around her.[neWLine]
“”A young kid at the stop with me went over, knocked on her
window, and offered to help her, pushing her car to side of road
and telling her to put her four-ways on, then lifted the hood and
after checking things out, said it was her fuel filter. She had a
Cavalier that was under recall and wasn’t aware of
that.[neWLine]
“”Makes you feel good to see that out of youths today
(especially when a downtown pigeon shooter turns downtown
Pittsburgh into total chaos!).””[neWLine][neWLine]
TEEN TIME: Speaking of teen-agers, two notes today from teens,
the first from Meghan Scott, a student at Smethport High School who
works on the Planet Smethport webpage.[neWLine]
“”Recently we have come across some information on George H.
Holley and his beginnings in Bradford. I was wondering if you could
have an ad in Round the Square for any pictures of George H.
Holley, his factory, his motor bikes, his cars, his house, or any
other documents or information available. Any help would be greatly
appreciated.””[neWLine]
Surely, there’s a wealth of information on this subject for
Meghan?[neWLine]
We also heard from Kaitlyn: “”Why isn’t there many places for
teens to hang out? All we have is the movies and the YMCA for teen
night. Which gets boring after a while.””[neWLine]
“”Can’t we have one place where we can hang with our friends?
Perhaps like a coffee house with a game room and TV. Where we can
just have fun without getting into trouble every second? I have
nowhere to go half the time with my friends because there is really
nowhere to hang out!””
