I moved to mtcarmel in 64 lived in my grandpops house at 351Esaylor st atlas he died in 61george homiak (not the bar owner). I worked for general cigar then chipnicks potato chips. I bought my new 67 mustang from Kuzo ford spent all my time at Anns restaurant Oak st then all my nights at Homiaks in Diamond town I remember everyone ! next door to me was the cutest kids mark /harry/rosemary/brenda /nancy. Prezkops I still have dreams i'm back there. had to return to NY for a job with ConEdison
I have an entire family there that I know very little about. I've never seen my grandmother. My dad would visit my aunt adeline and uncle Walt. Anyone know anything about the deromedi family?
My uncle, George Wardrop owned the town's hardware store at 25 S. Oak Street. His father, John Wardrop, opened the hardware store and was the president of the Pennsylvania Hardwareman's Association. His sister, May Wardrop, was the organist at the United Methodist church for years. His other sister, Emma, was married to Glenn Curnow another Mt. Carmel family.
In the picture in the barbershop, that’s me in the chair on the right. I had to stop the picture to make sure but don’t know what place it was. I look to be about 12, which means I was living by 7th & Market Streets at the time about 1954/55.
Is it that bad? If someone was going to take a drive down "Main St", is there anything cool you would show them? Or is it really just run down everywhere and nothing really cool to see anymore?
@@easternpa2it’s not great. It has cute bones, though. I often think about what it was like when my grandma grew up there. It looks like it was a neat place then.
@@sparkybish thank you. I ended up taking a drive through there just to see it. It made me realize there's stuff I just don't see in my daily life. If I didn't understand that life, I know I will have no comprehension of abject poverty or Appalachia.
thanks for sharing Dennis tony carta

The guaranteed trust building is condemned.
used to be a great little town..i had a really nice childhood there.

My great great grandmother was a Wardrop before she married into the Persing family.
