RUSTED

No longer used, this passenger car wastes away into History.

COAL MINE

Back up to the Coal Region area, I was told about this working Coal Mine located just outside of Mahoney City (pronounced “Mah-Ha-Noy”).  It is just one of the very few Coal Mines that are still around after so many years.  Here, I did not even try to enter the area because places such as

PHOTOSHOP CC

Hello there to all my Followers. For the past 6 months now, I’ve had the Software Photoshop CC.  In my opinion it’s a real nice photo editing software that will do so very much.  The problem I’ve been having with it is that I just don’t understand all the functions that it will do.  I

ABANDONDED DAYS INN

Traveling up & down RT61 North & South many times, I remember a Day’s Inn that sat just off the highway, but hard to see since it sorta sat in a small hallow off the highway.  I remember when this was being built, but never really paid much attention to it.  Just another place to

WILLOW LAKE

Back in the early 60’s, while I was still in High School, I was told about a place named Willow Lake that was up North of here in Schuylkill Haven.  This was about all I knew, so I had forgotten about it until one day last week when the Wife and I got into having

Since I do enjoy photographing sites that are up in the Historical Coal Region area, I decided to return to the Primrose/Lytle Colliery that was once here long ago.  When here the last time, I could only go so far for fear of falling into a Mine Shaft that might have been there, but not

FALLING APART

Thought that this old abandoned home in Shenandoah, PA looked better in B&W

PERRY GOLF COURSE

Yesterday while out cruising around the many back country roads around here, I decided to stop off and take a look-see at the Perry Golf Course that is not but a 20 min. drive for me.  The Perry Golf Course was built in 1970 and was a challenging course for all levels of play.  It

COAL CHUTE

Yesterday, I took my Wife up to her old home in Minersville, PA to meet with some of her long time girl friends that she has known since High School.  They were going to have some lunch together at the old Washington House.  So, after I dropped her off, I had a few hours to
