From 1946 until 1951, I lived at 2829 College Ave across from the cork works near the corner with the stadium. After we moved my father rented out the apartments until 1958/59, when my mother sold the property. My memories of beaver falls are some of the most vivid that remain to this day, even though I left Beaver County in Nov.1965 for the merchant marines. I live thousands of miles away in the Caribbean since 1981.
Would love to see old pictures from the '50's , my uncle owned Big Beaver Paints on the river approximately across from Morrow Motors, It was a red brick building right next to the rr tracks.
Everyone from Beaver Falls has/had a relative who worked at B&W. Proud to say I went to Larry Bruno Football Camp. Currently 2 guys from Beaver Falls on Green Bay Packers roster. BJ McBryde. Toddy Thomas.
My father came out of that town. My ancestors went to Canada in the Underground Raid Road then moved back to the USA settling in Pittsburgh. My father was a football player for his H=High School. I think it was Beaver Falls High School?
Thanks to my brother, Dale, for sending sending this to me. Very well done. I grew up next door to the college and experienced the down-turn, hadn't been back in more than a decade. Visited twice last year for BF school reunion and in a wedding. I expected a dim view of BF. Instead, I cannot tell you have beautiful it is. I walked all over BF and the campus. People seemed happy, the town was clean (mostly) and my old haunts are still there! I can't say that about the other places I've lived over the years. A hamlet on a hill overlooking a river would be very prime real estate in other places. I am hopeful BF can recover and again become as I remember her when a very young child in front of the five and dime on seventh avenue at Christmas. What a beautiful memory. Almost makes up for my memories of high school...
Just awesome. Once a Tiger, Always a Tiger!! Go BF!!

Wow! Thanks for sharing.
Grew up in Patterson Heights in the 1950's, Graduated from BFHS and Geneva College.
Loved the video, thanks....."Ted Broadfield
You did mention Brighton, but not right away. I didn't hear you say College Hill was a separate borough. Geneva property is not taxed. That hurts.
I did not hear you mention that it was called Brighton before it was Beaver Falls.
Born there in 1956 while my Dad was attending Geneva on the G.I. Bill.
10:45 he talking about Homewood, Buttermilk Falls. That street light look just like the ones in Homewood.
Nice presentation. Now how to save Beaver Falls. Sad
Lived on College Hill from 1954 to 1965.
This is very well done great job excellent job sir
