It’s south of Brentwood along Rt 51 but north of Baldwin.<br>

Also, several weeks ago there was some interest in "boat traffic" on the<br>
three rivers here. The front cover of the 2014 calendar has a good<br>
painting, by Mary Lois Verilla of course, of a tow boat and barges on the<br>
Mon River. It is attached for your edification and enjoyment.<br>
<br>
Also, so as not to slight them, the 2014 calendar is a cooperative venture<br>
between the boroughs of Brentwood and Whitehall. I forgot to mention<br>
Whitehall. Of course, I have yet to actually find the Borough of Whitehall.<br>
I'm sure it's somewhere around here. I usually go toward the city and not<br>
the suburbs in my travels. The suburbs tend to be very dull and traffic<br>
ridden.<br>
