Yea. I know that drugs are always an issue everywhere but they were especially bad here for a while. While I know that they are still around, it is definitely not as blatant and in your face as it was. I don’t see ppl in zombie mode like before either. It is sad though because the town still has that reputation. When we moved here from Altoona I was questioned by a number of friends as to why I would want to live here but it has been the most positive move for myself and my family of all the places we have lived in PA. The schools are pretty good and both of my kids have teachers that definitely care. Overall, I enjoy the quiet life we have here. I will be living here until we head back south in a year or so.

I think the random woman building is where they knocked down an old abandoned building and turned it into a little park of sorts. That’s where we light the Christmas tree and have the St. Patrick’s day goings on.
I’m not at all surprised they were trying to talk your ear off. I moved up here from Jacksonville Florida and everyone here is much more social and easy going. Everyone wants to talk and get to know you. It’s hands down different than city life but can be frustrating when you’re just in a hurry and you want to buy your stuff and get out.

We have an “ok” one called the bull pen, but it is not walking distance from the train. The walking traffic is non- existent here. Lol. We all usually go to Altoona or state college for fun. We have an plethora of pizza joints and churches. Oh! And of course sheetz.

Hahahaha. I would apologize but this is not my handiwork. I too just prefer to blow the snow and be done with it.

Not really walkable unless you’re a member of the vfw which is super close. We are kind of a one horse town. If my family didn’t originate here, I probably would have never heard of it. Lol.

Yea, that’s a trek from breezewood but not for football! I live right next to the football “stadium” and it is NUTS during home games. You can feel the vibration in the air. This town goes hard for our high school team.
