Hope you’re all doing well!
I’m not officially back as you can see, but I thought I’d drop you all a postcard to say “hi”! I know I’ve got loads of catching up to do when I return, but hope you’re all having fun!
Took this over the weekend at Kribi, a beach town in Cameroon. Loads more to come when I can find internet connection to post! :-)
Even though this post card was intended as a quick job I wasn't satisfied with it and decided to tweek it a little. The top is the original version. I hope no one minds me posting this. I like the revision better and it does show we don't have to settle.
Vintage post card from the 1960's.
The buildings on the left were removed to make way for more people to lay out on towels. No chairs were allowed to be brought in and the pool did not provide any when I was still going in 1973.
Evergreen Aqua Pool opened for business with three pools in 1958. In 2008 they celebrated their 50th anniversary. Sadly a fatality, the first and only one took place in the later part of that summer. Due to poor attendance, high bond costs, general maintenance costs the pools held out one more season, closing in 2009.
The pools were never open to the general public. Village residents had to buy a yearly bond in order to go. Bond prices around 1970 got up to around $400 to $500.00
The season ran Memorial Day to Labor Day for the 51 years.
Demolished in 2016
The large yellow brick building off in the distance is Little Company of Mary Hospital. It was torn down in 2012-13.
Update: May 2017 Half of the property is a parking lot now and the other half will be green space.
Teams of horses and mules were used to construct the westside canal on Link River. The label on this photo reflects the original plan for this canal to carry irrigation water as far as Keno, but the canal never went beyond a power plant at the bottom of Link River Canyon.

Post card view of Bamberger's and The Court of the Islands at Cherry Hill Mall from the 1960s and the court and store today as Macy's. Bamberger's was a division of Macy's. This section was opened in the Fall of 1962, about a year after the first section opened. Above the Bamberger's entrance was a restaurant called the Garden State Room.

Negro Mountain
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Coordinates: 39°47′10″N 79°10′30″W
(For the mountain in North Carolina formerly called Negro Mountain, see Mount Jefferson (North Carolina).
Negro Mountain is a long ridge of the Allegheny Mountains, stretching 30-mile (48 km) from Deep Creek Lake in Maryland, north to the Casselman River in Pennsylvania, United States. The summit, Mount Davis, is the highest point (3,213 feet) in Pennsylvania. Negro Mountain is flanked by Laurel Hill to the west and Allegheny Mountain to the east.
Geography and climate
The mountain is flattish in appearance due to its location on the Allegheny Plateau, so its prominence is of low relief. The mountain retains its elevation above 3,000 feet (910 m) for much of its length, especially in Pennsylvania. The Negro Mountain Tunnel, built for the South Pennsylvania Railroad, is abandoned and was never used. The Mount Davis Natural Area on the Mountain is located within the Forbes State Forest and many trails take hikers throughout this alpine landscape.
Weather on the mountain is fierce, frost can occur at any time of the year and winds and ice storms are common. Near the summit in Pennsylvania, the trees are stunted and circular rock formations from frost heave can be readily seen.
History
Details behind the naming of Negro Mountain are not precisely known and a number of local stories have circulated in the past. The various stories seem to share, however, a couple of elements. One is that of a band of white soldiers or hunters skirmishing with Indians on the mountain during colonial times. The other is the presence with the whites of an African-American companion — variously named "Nemisis" [sic] or "Goliath" indicating his great strength or size — who accompanied the whites and died valiantly during the fight.
The most popular version of the story takes place during the French and Indian War, in the year 1756, when frontiersman Colonel Thomas Cresapis known to have led a force against Native Americans on the mountain.
A member of his force, a black slave or a scout named "Nemisis," was killed in the battle. The mountain was accordingly named "Negro Mountain" in his honor. Another version of the story has a Captain Andrew Friend on a hunting trip on the mountain with a few companions. The party was attacked by Indians and during the ensuing skirmish, an African-American servant of Friend was gravely wounded and died the following morning on the mountain. Again, the mountain where he died defending the life of his master was named in his honor.
Yet another version, this time from local family lore, tells of:
John Hyatt, one of the early settlers, [who] was a native of Maryland. He came with several others, accompanied by a number of slaves, to Turkey-Foot [Township] soon after the settlement began. While crossing the Negro mountain, a party of Indians fired upon them and mortally wounded one of the negroes, the strongest man in the company.
A piece of a hollow log was found and placed over the negro to shelter him. Throwing it off, he said, "Save yourselves and never mind me; I shall die soon." It is said that Negro Mountain took its name from this circumstance.
The Cresap version is supported by the fact that Cresap is known to have written an account of such an expedition for Benjamin Franklin's Pennsylvania Gazette of June 17, 1756 mentioning that "an old Negro presented his gun at [the Indians]". The Maryland Gazette had already described the same expedition on June 10, 1756, mentioning that a "free Negro" had been killed with the English.
Controversy
In July 2007, Pennsylvania State Representative Rosita C. Youngblood (Democrat of Philadelphia’s 198th District) called for the renaming of Negro Mountain. In a news release, she said, "Through a school project, my son and granddaughter first informed me of the name of this range and I found it to be disparaging that we have one of our great works of nature named as such… I find it disheartening for tourists who visit this range to see the plaque with the name Negro Mountain displayed on the mountainside."
However, Professor Christopher Bracey, a law professor and associate professor of African and African-American studies at Washington University in St. Louis has said, "I must confess I have a slightly different take on it than [Youngblood]… Here we have a mountain, whose name was intended to be a testament to Negro bravery. It seems rather crass and unsophisticated to name it Negro Mountain, but the intentions were strong."
On 1 August 2007, Youngblood and other lawmakers introduced House Resolution No. 378 resolving that the governor "form a commission …to study the naming of Negro Mountain and Mount Davis …[to] adopt names that accurately reflect the history of the region and the heroism displayed by the African American in the Negro Mountain conflict of 1756" and accordingly to alter "brochures, plaques and signs [to] accurately reflect the facts of this heroic historical event" (the 1921 naming of Mount Davis is now also considered controversial because it honors the white settler who once owned the land, rather than the colonial African-American).
In February 2011, nine Maryland State Senators introduced a bill to rename Negro Mountain and Polish Mountain. All four Western Maryland representatives testified against the proposed bill, which was voted down in committee
