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

CBS AUTO PARTS IN THE LAST BUILDING. IN THE ROW OF STORE FRONTS FRANK CALLIGANS PENNY CANDY
 
In 1962 teachers at 3rd Ward would give their money to a couple kids in Mr.Poprick's 6th grade class. We would walk to the 2nd floor of that big white house between CBS Auto and Nick's Chevy to buy homemade bread and rolls for the teachers (during school!!). It was great times back then.

Coming into West Tarentum were the Beer Taverns on W 7th Ave.
I think we nicknamed West Tarentum, the Beer Tavern Capital of the world. Jednota Social Club was on the right corner when you turned left onto W 7Th Ave. My Grandfather & most of the Slovaks
hung out there.
At the bottom of the yellow building on the left going North on West 7th was barber shop that my aunt's brother, Frank Yanuzzi ran. Many haircuts there and lots of Raffles going on for the Volunteer Fire Dept on West 7th.
