Interesting group.
A novel could probably be written about these people using this picture for reference.
I see so much there but I cannot express it in words.

It just dawned on me that the part of Pennsylvania that is shown in the pictures
posted by Rufus must have a lot of towns that are named " 'burgs" of some sort.

It just dawned on me that the part of Pennsylvania that is shown in the pictures
posted by Rufus must have a lot of towns that are named " 'burgs" of some sort.

And they make strict distinctions among "berg," "burg" or "burgh," such as...
Strasburg.
Pittsburgh.

There are some pretty uniquely named communities, also, particularly in Lancaster County, that most folks traveling in PA notice particularly, such as, "Intercourse," and "Bird in Hand." Lititz." "New Hope." "Smoketown." "Conestoga" (yes, where the cross-country wagons were made and duly named.) "Blue Ball." "Paradise."

One has to admit, those names are worthy of some attention when one is driving by on a highway..

I think Pittsburgh, PA., is one of the few that ends with the H.

I think Pittsburgh, PA., is one of the few that ends with the H.

I remember that back in the 50's and 60's, if you were a resident of Pittsburgh, or any of its several surrounding towns, and didn't spell the city with that "h" you were immediately self-identified as a damfoo, and would probably never shake that moniker.

Also, the top one shows what looks to be a lot of tree trimming having been done in front of the houses on the one side.

These little girls look familiar...Salem, Mass. maybe?
