- Sorry for the low tech production, but if you get a nice Saturday sometime, take a ride down to Dunbar Pennsylvania (car or bike trail) and you will stand in the center of the universe for enriched Western Pennsylvania history, from manufacturing, coal and coke heritage, and street cars. See an authentic Coke oven constructed from original never used bricks, see where two train stations for the Pennsylvania RR, Western Maryland and the B & O used to service, and see a small town celebrate its history through the efforts of the very active Dunbar Historical Society...see more at www.dunbarhistoricalsociety.com and as always see great stills at www.stuffthatsgone.com
I live in Lemont Furnace, Pa, next door to Connellsville, Pa and Dunbar, Pa.
I LOVE your tours !
We live in Dunbar,, great place thanks for sharing the history

Your "low tech" presentation is charming...like walking through the town with you personally. My parents used to shop at Pechin's supermarket when I was a child but I had no idea about the rich history of Dunbar. Thanks for the history lesson....you have made me a subscriber!
When my Mother was very young, she and her sister and other lady friends would get on the Dunbar trolley to see a movie.
My dad and mom was born and raised in Dunbar. John Cooke, Mary Lou Hall
Great video! I love to see how area's looked many years ago and how they look now. I am a fanatic on stuff like this!
You and me as well. This stuff is great.
You did a wonderful job on this. It was entertaining and a great watch. Thanks!
REALLY enjoying your presentations - I'm in western Maryland, and I hope you keep it up! Going to make a suggestion, please don't take it the wrong way, but have you considered a stabilizer for your camera? That's all - a smoother video would add a ton of enjoyment to your videos. Thanks, Dan
Noted. It’s important to remember that this was filmed 11 years ago with a digital camera. As you can see my latest presentations are much higher quality than that. I don’t regret doing them back then. things I filmed are now gone!
Good video. In Dunbar my grandfather was born in 1884. With the best greeting from Werner from Dresden.
@Connellsville15425 I am honored, and thank you for enjoying...
Hello! I'm a huge fan of your channel. I'm from Old Wethersfield, CT (Hartford). I used to go to Steamtown, which was in Bellows Falls, VT years back. I heard it's in PA now. Thank you for all you do.
It may have a low tech approach, but the content and historical value make this a VERY good video.
i love this kind of stuff.then & now photos.i saw time life do this awhile backit was about civil war sites. some where fast food places now.stuff like that.there was a organization trying to buy all the sites back to preserve them.i cannot remember what it was called ..thanks
Thoroughly enjoyed. A question if I may. Does your camera have a button that will stop the shaking effect? I have the same problem when I shoot video, and one day when I broke down and read the instructions that came with my camera, I learned about it and used it. My shaking was much worse than any I have seen in yours.
My Mother always talked about she and her sister and friends would catch the trolley down in Dunbar.
Beautiful presentation and I wonder if those apts on top of that building are occupied.
No they were at one time but it’s abandoned
Yes
Me watching this in Dunbar
@StMeade that is the second time I have heard the GM story in the past month. Makes sense unfortunately. GM was bigger than the government in the 1950's. In Pittsburgh that was really true. PAT Transit was created from several small independent bus and trolley companies, and their first order of the day was to kill trolley service in 1964, so they could buy several (GM) buses.
interesting how much have been gone since the heydays od dunbar. what will it look like in 2110? a ghost town?
You have other YT accounts? I enjoy your videos. What are the other accounts?
@whatihave2do put /theqman1956 at the end of youtubes website and you will have access to all of them
One more thing, is it possible for you to contact me? If so, I'm at: hitchcockerich@gmail.com
The historical place is the only place you can get free wifi v_v
My 3X great gramma was the postmistress in Dunbar after losing her husband in the Civil War
I am writing a novel and I want it to be set in Dunbar. This was great for research.
they should have saved Hotel Central...but no...that would be too much like work :((
Funny how some areas look worse then they did in the past despite "modernization"
