Memory Trip

I recently returned to my hometown in a small Western Pennsylvania milltown for a 50-year class reunion. While there, I took a look at the house where I grew up, my grandparents' homes, and other places that brought up memories of the past.

There are explanatory comments under most of the photos, so please click on the first thumbnail for a larger image and then click "next" in the upper right hand corner. Comments are always welcome.

Thanks for sharing these fun images of where you grew up. Of course the railroad images are particularly interesting to me.

These are wonderful, Mary Anne! The gallery as a whole has a color tone of slate blue and brown that is at the same time desolate and inviting. Your comments below the images are very interesting and give even more meaning to the them. This is a gallery that I think the rest of your family would appreciate immensely. Excellent work, Mary Anne! ~Sharon
