Henry, I grew up near the area but have been away for a number of years. Get back there every so often to visit a few relatives and do a little cemetery upkeep. If memory serves, you might luck out if you visit the area during mid summer and find a decent church bazaar. Piroghi, haluski, golumpki/halupki, fried dough, potato cakes/bleenies, sausage & peppers, meatballs, cannolis (plus a little beano
) help keep the cardiologists in business. It's getting harder to find a good bazaar. If you don't make your own it becomes only a memory because not too many left with the skill, patience and desire to prepare that food. Not the healthiest choice, but every now and then in moderation...
I doubt there still bars that offer nickle or dime drafts. Walk in with $5 or $1,0 have a couple of beers and something to eat and walk out with change.
Wowak, its my understanding that Mrs. T's and the family have been very good to that area with the company staying local and also being active in numerous local charitable endeavors. I wonder if they still have fish at the old pumping station in Brandonville?
