Versailles. With growing family, they bought a brand new home in a new<br>
development in Liberty Boro, built over top of a slag dump. I came along 3<br>
years later. It is hard to put a finger on when it all went down hill for<br>
many of our bigger cities, but the population drain on Pittsburgh was<br>
significant through the 70's and 80's.<br>

High in the late 70's and both PPG (once the largest plate glass factory in<br>
the world) and Eljer were still operating even though PPG had moved most of<br>
the workers to Illinois and Carlisle. The local workers were given an<br>
opportunity to have a new production system installed at FC, but the<br>
old-timers passed on it. By the time I retired in 2008, the land were they<br>
both stood was, and still is vacant. We were graduating about 90 students a<br>
year.<br>

in S'Liberty back then. If dad needed a box of nails, Sears Roebuck was<br>
several blocks up Highland. A nice place to spend an afternoon was the zoo<br>

had moved out of town.<br>

Rodi Road where all those stores are now . some houses. Ola (never<br>
advertised his last name) had a Gulf station where Laketon Road and<br>
Frankstown Road joined and about 1948 he added a restaurant behind it.<br>
