Ron Thanks for all you do to keep the history alive. Some great photos and things I have never seen. Appreciate the work. Always enjoyed passing PBurg tower!

Wonderful video, i grew up here. I have a lot of family in West Easton and the surrounding area. My family worked at Ingersoll Rand after world war 2. John and his brother Tom. John lived in West Easton and Tom lived in Easton. There are a lot of model train collectors that are still in West Easton.

Oh how I love to see the history of this area. Many fishing trips of mine here ended up being an exploring trip. I always tried to imagine what was here in it's heyday. Thanks for posting .

Fascinating history and I love how you incorporate yourself into it when possible. Thank you for this documentation.

My grandfather George Vogt worked his entire life at both Ingersol plants. He worked the tool crib.....

At time mark 5:31, dead center is the Glendon Hotel. It is only 1/2 what it was, the mirror left side was added at some point later to match the right side. Sadly, it came down in December, 2021.
