The Mont Alto State Bank and Barber Shop. Get a shave and haircut while they review your application for a buggy loan (and another haircut).

1 stop shopping - get scalped literally and financially.

No air-conditioning; yet, high collars on blouses and shirts; long (to the ankles/ground) skirts; bow ties on very high-collared shirts, and full suits. However, they all look happy and content.

We did not have any A/C at the house in PA until I got a wall unit 2 years ago. Looking back, I am not sure how we survived there.........

I’m not sure, either, how we survived back in the 50’s and early 60’s because we barely dared open the windows for any possible air movement due to the constant rain and atmosphere of soot particulates from the steel mills, which were just down the hillsides from every community. The filth constantly emanating from the mills was so predictable that wet laundry could only be hung outside on clotheslines (nobody had electric dryer machines yet) on certain days and times of day, or they would need rewashing due to a layer of filth having been applied by the “air.” In fact, none of us kids dared ride our bikes downhill on such effluence days for fear of getting very sharp particles in our eyes, without fail. And snowfalls were not white. They were layers of gray slop.

Duquesne. Homestead. McKeesport. Clairton. Braddock. Glassport. Etc. up an down all the banks of the Monongahela, Youghiogheny, and Allegheny Rivers, at least .

Mt. Gretna is still a nice place. I was fortunate to have visited the playhouse a few years before it collapsed under a massive snowfall. IMHO, perhaps the nicest of the old Chautauqua camps that remain, at least in this area.
