    Happy National Pie Day, '26

    Wet bottom vs dry bottom pies, I believe. I prefer the wet bottom. We had black forest pie this evening.

    Biltmore Estate

    Been there twice. Once at Christmas and once in spring. The Christmas decorations were something to see. Main dining roomset up was incredible. Huge Christmas tree in the dining hall. Did the behind scenes tour, well worth it. Fascinating to see how the super wealthy live over 100 years...

    James Franklin’s house in Port Matilda

    It is only a Port Matilda mailing address. The house is less than 10 minutes on the bypass to Beaver Stadium. It is a very upscale isolated neighborhood with very easy access to State College and is in State College School District.

    OT: TCM 31 Days of Oscar Highlights Tonight

    I saw Das Boot in the theater when it came out. Have not seen it since. I have been hoping it would show up on TCM for a long time.

    Would this be a good real estate investment?

    The cost is not tied up in the acreage. It is in a nice spot. Close to a lot of outdoor activities including a State Forest within a mile but there is nicer acreage within 55 miles of State College.

    New Nancy Guthrie only thread

    Watching an old movie, "The Lost World". The Manuel Gomez character played by Fernado Lamas is wearing his holster with pistol exactly like the guy in the ring camera photo. Is that a thing?

    Would this be a good real estate investment?

    For 18 years and off and on for 7 more I lived on a 30 acre in active farm. Trout fishing, hunting, hiking, bike riding to elementary school, playing outside until dark, sleeping outside and counting falling stars. A great way to grow up which will never be reproducible today.

    Would this be a good real estate investment?

    I would not be buying it for the kitchen or baths. Look at the mechanicals if all operational. Check the blast doors. You don't get those in a tract home.

    Would this be a good real estate investment?

    When I was a kid, none of the roads currently marked with names on google maps were named. Everyone's address was RD and a route number. Ours was RD#1. The mail carriers had to know people then. Our mail carrier happened to be a neighbor. Had the last name on the mailbox. All packages were...

    Now there is. 50 years ago when I lived there and the bunker was being built, not so much.

    Would this be a good real estate investment?

    When I was a kid there was not much in Mifflinburg. Lewisburg was it for major groceries and general shopping. There was a small grocery in Laurelton. Later a larger grocery was built. Doctor in Mifflinburg. Dentist in Lewisburg. Never went west until college years. Even then groceries in...

    Would this be a good real estate investment?

    My father worked there. When I was a kid I found his white coveralls with big red letters POW on the back. I wondered what that was all about until I learned POW stood for Pennsylvania Ordnance Works.

    Would this be a good real estate investment?

    Ok. I got it figured out and "pin" pointed. The red pins on the Coldwell Banker site and the pin on Realtor.com are wrong. The site is on Hassenplug Rd between Paddy Mt Rd and Rt 235 a little west of the Union County West End Fairgrounds. Realtor.com has what they call a fly around that...
