Tarentum Today

This is for the people that haven't been back to Tarentum for awhile and wonder what it looks like today. Some places are gone some have changed, like Henrys, gone, but you still will visualize where the places used to be and how it was. Good old Tarentum. When I meet people they ask where I’m from, I tell them Tarentum but I now live in Natrona Hgts. Another question I get asked a lot these days are why in the hell did you get on the school board? Well the number one reason among many others is there was rumors that the past board wanted to tear down my Alma Mater. Me said over my dead body. I am working on pictures from the past also. That will be the next project. So if any of you can contribute with some kind words and some pictures I would really appreciate it. Oh. I was talking to old dog Tim Christy and he is going to hook me up with some pre-60’s year books Remember to enlarge the picture, most will if you click on that pic. Thanks and enjoy

I think these tanks should be designated a Historical Landmark? This was the swimming pool for us boys from W. Tarentum. Really? We only got caught once. They now have lids.

Comments:
This is the water tanks that my grandfather Raymond Collins hung up Christmas lights every year until he passed away.
 
I lived right below the water tanks on Center St. Always played around them tanks as a child. This was back in the late 50s early 60s.
