Coe's Flowers

I found on the 'net that Coe's Seed and Floral of Ames, Iowa opened in the the Sheldon Munn Hotel in 1932.  The Hotel was once 'one of the finest hotels in the Midwest.'

Mrs. Neal Ford Columbia Record Store

From back when Hazleton wasn't Illegal Immigrant/Dominican Gang Central.  

Scumbags.

I'm trying to keep this blog sweet and nice, but last weekend we were upstate near Hazelton at a community fair, and met two people who'd had their home broken into (along with over 50 of their neighbors) by these wastes of oxygen who swoop down from New York.  They took EVERYTHING of value.   I really think these people ought to be deported en masse, pursuant to getting their asses kicked in a big BIG way.

WGAL TV Channel 8

Back to the sweet and the nice.  

Back in the day if you drove out into the country, say 50 miles or so north of the City of Bothersome Love, you'd see little signs by the side of the road for Channel 8.  Not billboards, but little signs like what you see posted for 'brown eggs, 150 feet,' only more professional-looking.
