If nothing changes, nothing changes: The Coffee and Teagarden that was ahead of its time
Late 90s in the city of Pottsville.. a little gem of a place that popped up serving the city expressos, fresh coffee and teas.. A home blend of vanilla chai.. Sandwiches. A spicy soup that could cure hangovers and the common cold. And a sandwich they called Thanksgiving Every Day. And now 20 years later, Sage in Pottsville is closing its doors…
Mike Mulligan still has his steam shovel
Mike Mulligan And His Steam Shovel
This was a children’s book by Virginia Lee Burton.
It was first published in 1939, in the wake of the Great Depression, it features Mike Mulligan, a steam shovel operator, and his steam shovel Mary Anne.
Vanishing phone booths in New York City
This weekend, we received a photo of pay phones on 37th St in New York City.
For those who don’t know, we collect these images around here.. those vestiges of the past are actually quite amazing..
Well, it just so happens that only hours after receiving this image, news broke in the city that these, and all other pay phones across Gotham, will become a distant memory!
It’s over..

October 5, 1999 to now: Dried petals lay beneath the sand
October 5, 1999: The new Cardinal Brennan gym is dedicated.. 20 years later: The gym is now property of North Schuylkill…
All of those tears, hugs.. and long embraces between friends in front of that gymnasium in the summer of 99 are just history… memories are the flowers… forward in the sands of time..
