Here we are, stuck in the depths of winter with not many trains running. We have to look back at the Summer of 08 and find some pictures to use.

Penn Slovak Roman Greek Catholic Union Bldg Demolition

From September 08, the old Penn Slovak Roman Greek Catholic Union Building was demolished.  It was probably better known as the Hidy Ochi Karate or Corcoran Printing.  These and other firms were located here as well as apartments.

By 2006 the building was just a shell, neglected for years.  In 2009 the plot at North and North Main Street is ready to be redveloped, buildings for King\'s College will take its place.
