Now that the frozen tundra of January is here...for those of us where it happens, nothing like the thoughts of a summer Wash-In to melt the snow, so here it goes:
Tentative weekend - June 16-18 Same format as always: Friday evening Meet and Greet - Place TBD Saturday Wash-In shenanigans, Saturday evening outing of some sort Sunday morning 'Wash of Shame' and farewells New attractions: Fully functioning 1960 W dryer and 1961 W Laundromat Old attractions: Bring your machine to work on in the garage and/or hook up for show and tell, sitting on the infamous couch, food and booze on the deck. Hotels: Use ZIP codes 15146(Monroeville) and 15238(Harmarville/Pittsburgh)for accommodations Set your calendars now! | ||

Jerry, We are thinking about coming. How far are you to Gettysburg? I would love to bring my 1964 Frigidaire along to fix, but I have no way to get it out there. And no parts either. Gary | ||

Those poor appliances look kinda sad sitting by that road-some look as though they could find new homes-and there is a bathroom sink,too! | ||

Salvage the good ones, and the rest is a goldmine in scrap metal. Allegheny Ludlum buys it's scrap to make new steel from at least a couple local recyclers in that area no doubt. | ||

First: Bump. Second: Wound up explaining the VERY basics of Lustron homes the other day. Then I got to thinking... I thought I read something, somewhere about there being a few in the Pittsburgh area. Yet when I looked I found nothing. Wishful thinking on my part? Thanks, Jim | ||

I'm trying.
I couldn't get Friday off, but I requested Monday. We'll see if it's approved. If so, I'll try and attend this year.
I got a 1951-ish Westinghouse slant front set. The top of one is destroyed. The washer is a LONG way from running, but I could see about bringing the dryer. I've not touched the dryer, so a WH slant front is all new to me. Sadly, it's the model which pre-dates the xylophone. I hope to make it, Dave | ||

Important Duquesne (du kane) Incline Information!
If you are riding the incline, the fare is $2.50 in cash each way (up/down)in exact change, so please bring four one dollar bills and $1.00 in quarters. For those at home wondering where the catchy name came from...here it is direct from Wikipaedia:
Fort Duquesne (/du¢°ˈkeɪn/, French: [dyken]; originally called Fort Du Quesne) was a fort established by the French in 1754, at the convergence point of the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers in what is now downtown Pittsburgh in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania.It was destroyed by the British, and replaced by Fort Pitt in 1758. The site of both forts is now occupied by Point State Park, where the outlines of the two forts have been laid in brick. Duquesne Incline website: duquesneincline.org/...
