Help! Looking for photographs

Consider this an appeal for help!

I am looking for photographs of the following schools, Oak Ridge Elementary and St. Matthews, hopefully when they were still in use as schools.

What A Change

The Sports section may be a more appropriate place for this and I'll apologize in advance. I did something tonight that I have been meaning to do for the past couple of years. I went to the Huntingdon - Tyrone football game, walking over from the family home on Oak Street. It seemed strange to walk ...

Re: New Tune in the Name That Tune

Her green plastic watering can For her fake Chinese rubber plant In the fake plastic earth. That she bought from a rubber man In a town full of rubber plans To get rid of itself. It wears her out, it wears her out It wears her out, it wears her out. This has set way to long............................

Best of the "New" old cars

Here's a question for my fellow car enthusiasts. What do you think of the "throwback" cars that have come out of Detroit lately? Since the originals were cars of the 70's we should be familar with them all. In order of their re-introduction: 1. Dodge Charger. 2. Ford Mustang 3. Dodge Chall...

Re: Name That Tune

Yep! I grew up on Oak Street! Used to love that one maple tree just down from your house that always got such a beautiful golden-orange color about this time of year. Last time I was home, I noticed it had been cut down. :( Anyway, thanks to everyone for the songs you've posted. A lot of them bring...

Re: Name That Tune

Good song, but I always thought it was just Crosby, Stills and Nash, so I'm not sure about the Seals. I'm going to have to listen to this one though...thanks! :thumb: Seals and Croft. It was the class of 1975' song, so I better remember it. (I didn't vote for it but majority rules, right?) I just s...

Re: Growing up in the 70's and 80's

I have been thinking about this question and have come up with a few more things. I miss radio stations that not only give you the time on a regular basis, but also would give the title of a song and the name of the group. I miss fishing in the Bald Eagle Creek at Big Tree. I miss riding out to Vail...

I suppose that's appropriate, then, since that's where I first heard it, way back then.

As a kid in the 70's walking down the streets and alleys of Tyrone with out fear. Fishing at Big Tree and the Boy Scout camp.

Sled riding down the neighbor's hill and not being chased off or fear of liablity on the owner's part for a start.
