I should know, but where is Jekinson?
(Jenkinson? Wow, that is close. Did you know any of the families here?)

Surprisingly this area is/was very rich in oil - many abandoned derricks litter the landscape.
Yep....all over the place. I'd bet there's a lot of energy beneath Allegheny County. Too congested to get to it. Just find some acreage in closeby areas and go down 500 ft, out a couple miles.
Won't happen at these prices, but it's nice to know that energy resources are abundant, if messy.
Around here though, no need to go that far. it's very close to the surface.Yep....all over the place. I'd bet there's a lot of energy beneath Allegheny County. Too congested to get to it. Just find some acreage in closeby areas and go down 500 ft, out a couple miles.
Yes, but the big deposits are in deeper places...Marcellus & Utica. I think some Butler County farms still pump gas.
Jenkinson is the first road on the right once you pass Wilvan on West Ingomar. The Intervals, Shepherds & Brock's lived on Wilvan in the late 70's when I delivered newspapers.
If we went to Ingomar pool we would cut through on Wilvan.
Yep. Mrs. Brock was the last of them to leave and she moved out in January of this year. An older single woman bought it, gutted it and did a magnificent job restoring it from the shambles it had become. It's funny because except for the Shriner's (big green farmhouse) we are all second or third owners and all of the properties have been restored. We love it back here. My dad almost had a heart attack when we bought it (it was a giant mess) but the value has almost tripled since 1995. Smartest purchase we ever made.

My family had over 150 acres of remote, rural land that as kids we called "the farm". My dad and uncles sold it over 20 years ago after my grandfather died. It was half in Allegheny County (Fawn) and have in Butler County (Clinton). There have been two wells drilled on it over the past 5 years. Way to go dad. That was my friggin retirement!
Newer, bigger, fewer T-shirts. More lattes than donuts.
We had dinner there tonight. It was fabulous. Like you said very small - clearly just getting started. It has evolved from a coffee/tea/hot chocolate purveyor to lunch to lunch/dinner. The proprietor owns the entire building and is expanding the restaurant next door which will have a full bar AND a BYOB by August. Not sure what we were expecting since it was fairly stripped of any decorations except a beautiful chandelier, was empty when we got there (filled up as we ate) and the menu was very limited, but wow. The mixture of food and flavorings was spot on. And since the pastry chef is in-house, dessert was top notch. Add in that we could bring our favorite wine without paying through the nose (corkage fee was $6), we can't wait to go back. Thanks for the rec! I highly recommend it too. Thanks.
The most relevant commercial on tv/internet today is the State Farm "I'm never gonna..." spot. I think everyone in their 20s has been there and by the time you hit 40 hopefully you realize, wow, my parents were right about ALOT of things.
Since Sheetz is owned by Ped State alumns and only has Ped merchandise, I don't go.
VOILA! BINGO! But this is the exact same stupid argument I hear when people on here downplay State College or some other college in a small city as being boring. And Pitt being in Pittsburgh has more to offer. When you are 19-20 years old, what really are you looking for?
