Coal Country Row House
This block would have had 8 to 10 hours side by side next to each other as one giant house. Over the intervening years, neglect, abandonment and fires have taken a good majority of them out.

Coal Country Row House
Prior post was a closeup of asphalt hex shingles on the side of a row house in Ashland, PA.
You could have an entire block of row houses, and each one would have different siding and roofs.

In coal country, the mountain doesn’t play — it chooses.

A deteriorated wooden wall with peeling paint and long dried vines hanging vertically. A dark open doorway sits to the left, revealing more of the worn interior. Shot on a Sony A7II with a 20mm lens.
A dark shed with a partially collapsed roof. Sunlight cuts through the broken boards, casting narrow lines across the rotting floor. The town is visible through a small window frame in the bright distance. Shot on a Sony A7II with a 20mm lens.
A small plant growing through cracked floorboards inside a dark abandoned structure. A narrow beam of light falls directly on the leaves, highlighting them against the shadowed room. Shot on a Sony A7II with a 20mm lens.

Everybody can relax, I found the car. Needs some suspension work and shocks. Brakes, brake pads, lining, steering box, transmission, rear-end. Also new rings, mufflers, a little wiring.

Gateway To The Coal Country
While waiting for vehicle to be repaired, walked up into the old Glenburn mine in #Shamokin, PA. This is one of two signs at either end of Shamokin.

Well. Fun afternoon, had a brake failure today (as in inside pad exploded and fell apart). Limped it to a garage and while it is being fixed hiked up into an abandoned coal pit.
Nice little 4 mile walk.

📉 Trump’s legacy is job-killer-in chief. And he’s hurting coal communities too.
⛏️ He told #coalcountry workers he’d stand with them, but his "beautiful" bill cuts their future again.
Don’t believe the GOP bullshit. Their new law kills jobs and hurts workers.

Beef pasties, a food from coal country
A recipe from a friend of my mother's grandmother. It is a meat pastie, a very common dish in the coal county miners families would have. Beef, potatoes and onions baked in a pie crust.
