- Thanks, Buck, for correcting my faux pas. As I said, I'm not a roller
- coaster person. I guess I should blush, being about two miles from the Leap
- the Dips.
-
- As I recall, the carousel that used to be at Lakemont Park was being
- considered for National Historic Landmark status when it was carted off to
- GodKnowsWhere. Forgive me if I put little faith in the Blair County powers
- that be.
-
- I do see a glimmer of hope in the America's Industrial Heritage Project.
- It's trying to preserve the blue-collar cultural heritage of the
- area--railroading, mining, and steel making. Cross your fingers.
