I think he means that old brick building that used to have restaurant in it. I'm not sure if he means Birch or Locust maybe?

Maybe Elm? Cedar and Elm is an old abandoned building that's falling apart. Suprised it hasn't collapsed in on itself yet. I forget what it used to be called. Electric City something or other?

It's been like this for many years. Was it Electric City Motorcycles??

Damn, now it's bugging me.

ETA: Pasta Palazzo. That's what it most recently was. I'm still convinced it's name had something to do with The Electric City, at least back in the mid 70's. That's when I learned that that's what the city's nickname was.

I remember the Pasta Palazzo. The building is cool, I like brick buildings and its a shame to see a structure like that go to sh#t.

You have to got to be kidding me right? We don't live on the Mississippi River you know. There might be a paddle wheeler in Old Forge from the pioneer days of the Lackawanna river.

I'm sorry but I just had to play with you a little.LOL

Where were the canals around here? I thought that the city was pushing the glass mules because they were a bunch of Jackass's. I know thats why the mayor has one at his house.

I thought the mules were coal mining mules? If a mule dies in the mines, it means there's a gas leak and to get out of there...
