You spent a lot of time on Shenandoah. My parents were from Shenandoah, but as a family we lived in Frackville. My mother still resides there and I live in the township up the road from her house. Although the borough was so dependent on the coal and garment industry which have declined, it is still making efforts to keep the town alive. They have some amazing grant-writers and always seem to have a new revitalization project being undertaken. Thank you for this short video. Of the towns you have mentioned, I have been to 5 of them many, many times. i think there are 4 houses left in Centralia.

Don't forget mrs t pierogies.keeped the town aluve.i used to lived minersville and I missed the frackville mall

the South Carolina stock photo in a PA video is a nice touch. Also Lock Haven certainly isn't the center of the universe but to put it higher on the list than Mount Carmel wow! I enjoyed the video though.

Renovo. The principal employer was the Pennsylvania Railroad which had a large repair facility . It closed over 50 years ago and, being near the Susquehanna River, much of the town is subject to flooding.

I love love love your Pennsylvania videos!

@@yvonneplant9434 I stopped in Johnstown once. It was pretty bad.

Clymer and beaver falls

*Quieter. Semantics for mostly abandoned.

Lock Haven is home to Lock Haven State College which is keeping the town alive.😊

My late father was born in Pittston. 7 members of my family worked on the Lehigh Valley railroad from about 1868 up to 1976 when it became Conrail.
