Hurry up!" to make our purchases and leave the store. I also remember sled riding down "Company Store Hill" which was the road down to Vesta 6 and Denbo from Low Hill where my grandmother lived.

When I went down Jew Store Hill it didn't even begin to resemble the Denbo that I grew up around. I remember sitting on her porch at night watching the coke ovens across the river. The good times of playing softball on the ball field beside St. Paul's Methodist Church, many of windows were broken. The houses and families that lived where Pechin's Marina now sits. The Post office used to be my dad's mothers house. I was amazed to see how high the river was where they are putting the bridge for 43. No wonder it always flooded out at the railroad tressle. Many many years of good memories down there.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4313728863646854771.post-6502211125227072272012-03-18T20:05:47.729-04:002012-03-18T20:05:47.729-04:00Cool, Snap.

Its really cool being a carpenter on this site, probably a once in a lifetime opportunity for building segmental bridge.

I travel throughout the Mon valley on back roads and come upon a HUGE mass of concrete known as Rt 43. The nearby land is scraped bare and many through roads are closed off, as well as old railroad ROWs. Just my opinion.<br /><br />Give me the old days...steam engines, Mine shafts, trolley cars and an old brick lined tunnel.ROBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02322895034052723867noreply@blogger.com
