Re: 2008 Presidential Election

It was very busy in Warriors Mark when it opened at 7 a.m., there was actually a line snaking outside the door. I came back mid-afternoon, and was voter 459.

Ha, ha! We can always count on you Yertle to interject some humor into these discussions. Actually I was totally in the dark regarding rick-rolling phenomenon. Thanks for enlightening me, though I had that goofy song in my head all day!

Re: "Nature Trail"

Has anyone been on this yet? I was by there the other day and couldn't find it. Maybe I didn't go past the plant far enough (I assume you have to go past the plant, because I didn't see anything before it).

Re: Skateboard and Bike park

About the lack of daycares in the area, I've noticed that too. The Hollidaysburg YMCA runs a nice program at the elementary school, but that is for kids ages 3 and up. My kids love their summer camp program; they go two or three days a week but would gladly go everyday!
