You know that .... Slippery Rock... are all PA towns ... Proud to say that I actually used to live in Slippery Rock, right on the crick (and still live close enough to go to Ginger Hill for dinner now and then....). I sure miss that house, but it was more of a bachelor pad, complete with a treestand in the backyard and canoe dock on the creek, but my wife wasn't really up for it when I got married...

...and you went fishin' with minnies for smallies. And for browns. Seining for minnies was a great way to spend an afternoon.

Then there is Muzzette. Essentially a town of hunting camps. And in reference to another interesting thread, PA has an abundance of down home country girls.

Especially in the mid-50s..... The Uniontown area was French and Indian war country. Some serious killing went on in that land. Nothing but luck, kept Washington alive to become the first. On what is now the First National Highway, Braddock lost and estimated 1500 in a two day fight with the Indians. They were strung out for miles and the Indians hit them in the middle. Washington was at the rear due to illness and missed the worst of it.

I lived there in 1957...at 5 years old...still remember it...dirty...coke ovens all over the hills....ooodles and GOBS of deer though....Ive heard the country has long since been cleaned up dramatically, or more simply probably, is that mother nature reclaimed her own...

Thirty plus years ago when I was in the Navy I was driving across Florida with a bud and I bet him a car up ahead had Ohio plates on it, which of course it did. He's still probably trying to figure that one out. If you're from western PA I don't have to tell you what they were doing. Yikes, I hate to say it: I'm from northwest PA and I don't know what they were doing. But then, folks from northwest PA happen to have more in common, language-wise, with people from the midwest. I was an adult before I ever heard "yinz," and "red up the kitchen," and other Pittsburgh colloquialisms. However, I always have said "crick." One more town not mentioned is Pithole -- a long-time ghost town now, but a real jumpin' place back in the early oil-boom days. Steve.

In left PA in 64 and it took me 40 years plus to quit saying " yunz"
I grew up outside a little town called Monongahela. Born in New Eagle, Washington, County in the very SW corner of the state. My wife was born in "Mon City" and raised in New Eagle... Small world I went to high school in Monongehela.
I graduated 3 years after Joe Montana. ... and her younger brother was in class with Joe Montana. He ran track with Joe and has a story about Joe cheating off him in class. Steve.

I live near Tidioute and Tionesta.
Pronounced Tiddy-Youte and Ti-o-Nesta I always thought it was "Titty-Youte." I remember a decade or two ago when the Rainbow People came through. One of them was in the Kwik Fill and asked where "Tidy-out" was. Everyone laughed. Steve.

My family is from Halton.Pa. If you can ever find it, be sure to visit the "Halton Hilton" and order a "belly buster". We got a hill named after us not far away. In between the "hill" and Halton is state game lands #28 28000 acres of ANF finest. Alot of it looks like this. http://travel.webshots.com/photo/2382540250071685881WkzVqvdave
