What’s something cool about your small, tiny little PA town?

I’m from a very small town in PA, and it actually has quite the history. I want to see if anyone can take a guess where I’m from based on it.

My town used to be very well-known for both brick and leather production. We had two big factories for both things, and we were known world-wide as “Bricktown, PA”. We had a major railroad system for transporting bricks which is now a historical hiking trail for tourists and natives, we used to have a hotel, movie theater, and sooo many more cool things here before we fell off the map, due to steal production becoming more popular, and more needed. The original streets here were built out of brick, and you can still find them under the pavement.

So, I wanna hear some cool things about the small towns y’all are from, and I wanna see if anyone can guess where I’m from!

Saw all these on a ride from Norristown to Trenton

Pennsylvania is really incredible at Vanity Plates. The last one is literally begging to be rear ended though.

What are some abandoned buildings/areas I can explore in my area?

My boyfriend and I live in central PA, Huntingdon/Mifflin County area, and we were wondering of some abandoned buildings and areas within this general area we could explore. We’ve already visited the old Turnpike.

What can I do here as a tourist in Avondale PA without a car?

I am visiting my uncle in Avondale. I don’t have a car and my uncle + aunt are working everyday. I mostly came to just chill in a different environment but I didn’t know that I needed a car for everywhere (i am from Europe). Any advice on what I can do?

HUD, Eviction by new homeowner wants me out within 30 days

I got a text from the new homeowner at 10pm tonight saying “my loan requires your house to be my permanent residence. I need you out in 30-days. I’ll be sending a formal eviction letter to mark the start of 30-days”. Is this legal? I’m panicking? I don’t have money to move within 30 days.
