Houtzdale, Pennsylvania

Mens Buzz Cut $5


"Cut and brow wax" sounds a little ominous, but it's nothing compared to the window display.

Carl,

I like your work and am glad you are enjoying your K10D. I just bought one partly based on your experience with it and your writeups over at Online Photog. I noticed that your last couple of posts are from Houtzdale, Pennsylvania. What are you doing in my neck of the woods? I live in State College,PA. Some of these older towns are interesting places to photograph. I often go to Lewistown and Williamsport to do some photos. Have a great time.

Thanks,

Hi Chuck,

I was doing a litttle exploring after shooting in the PA "coal country" as part of a long term project. Spent Monday night at the Happy Valley Motor Inn in State College. $38 is my kind of place. When I realized there was a town named Coalport I had to go look, and Houtzdale was on the way.

btw, can you tell me anything about that "happy valley" moniker for the area?

You know I have been involved in this area for 30 years and have never really researched the reasons behind the "Happy Valley" label.

There is lots to explore in Central PA and lots of great old towns to photograph in. If you get back this way drop me an email and perhaps we can meetup.

Thanks,
