Terry, interesting to read of the soil instability downhill of Sprague Street. While Turtle Creek looks benign enough, the thought had crossed my mind that Wilmerding “valley” might well have had its own Johnstown episode at one time.
I’m a lifelong Southern Californian, but remember fondly when my wife and I drove from Chicago to York in 2000 and 2002. We found Pennsylvania so very beautiful. Out here, we’ve only recently begun to appreciate the rich architectural heritage in our older structures.
