RIP – 1521 Ninth Street

1521 Ninth Street - Altoona PA

As detailed in this article from the Altoona Mirror, my childhood home, 1521 Ninth Street in the Fairview neighborhood of Altoona, is slated to be razed and paved over to create some new parking spaces for Altoona Regional Hospital.

It Doesn’t Hurt to Ask

On the way back from Altoona on Sunday, we took a route that led us down I-81 and then US-29 through Virginia into Greensboro. After three days of bar-and-grill food, ballpark food, and pizza in the hotel rooms, we were all ready for something a little different. 

I had my heart set on a Cracker Barrel as I was hankering for some breakfast and strong coffee. I especially enjoy their Momma’s French Toast Breakfast, but when we located a CB, that restaurant was packed up with two tour bus’ worth of patrons, so we ambled down the road a bit. We settled on a stop off at a Golden Corral in Waynesboro, VA off of I-64 around 2:00 PM.

Bad Information

Tomorrow at 9:00 AM, the "Freeh Report on the Pennsylvania State University” will be published at this site. The report is the output from the $12 million USD investigation into “the facts and circumstances of the actions of The Pennsylvania State University surrounding the child abuse committed by a former employee, Gerald A. Sandusky”. The investigation was driven by former FBI Director Louis Freeh. I hope the IT staff that administers that website knows what they are doing. Something tells me that there might be some serious HTTP traffic heading their way tomorrow morning.
