Reply #6: Spring Creek

[VeniceBeat]

is where my Dad's first cousin still lives in what used to be the family's hunting camp-- a two story shack with asbestos shingles all over it and propane lighting! No running water! And the guy's in his 80's! We visited a couple of years ago and a bunch of his buddies showed up on ATV's with a case of beer. It was fun. So beautiful there.

Some preacher is buying up all the available land around Spring Creek and is creating some sort of Waco-land compound. Weird. Perhaps you know of the guy. Hopefully the camp doesn't get sold to the creep.

A highschool classmate of my Dad's owned a plastics company in Corry at one time and used to say that Corry had the highest per capita of unwed mothers in the State if not the Nation. Still lots of young women with strollers there? I blame it on the Corry Drive-In!

Who's behind the Police State there or is it just too many cops with too much time on their hands? Let's hope the local DJ continues to provide a dose of sanity to the area.

It's beautiful there and I miss it. The snow-- not so much-- though we try to get back there for the Holidays and love to crunch around in the snow filled streets late at night. So quiet.

Here we live near the intersection of Washington Bl and Lincoln Bl, close to a Costco and an In N Out Burger, so I'm in a little bit of Consumer Heaven here. We got gentrified out of our place in Venice last year but we're just a short bike ride away from the Boardwalk.

I still dream of living half the year here and half the year in Erie County. It'll always be home-- lots of family.

The Howie Klein you googled is the indeed the Record Exec, proprietor of Down With Tyranny and Guest Blogger on FireDogLake. He helped make the "Had Enough?" ads happen. He's also one of the only prominent bloggers to focus on Jabba the Carp (haha--love it!) I don't understand why the DSCC has seemingly abandoned Porter. It would seem to be an easy seat to pick up for the Dems, though I guess PA is still Philly and Pittsburgh with Alabama in between. :)

My Dad's cousin has a revolver hanging on a nail on the wall of his shack but I think he still votes straight Democratic.

There's hope!
