<DIV><FONT size=4>It happens all the time. The key is whether the person
or company using the old name is maintaining the old standards, traditions,

When I was growing up a big treat was to go to the Isaly's store near
our<BR>> house. One of my many favorites from them was a vanilla milkshake.
They<BR>> knew how to make them. One "perk" of going to get one at Isaly's
was that<BR>> all of the milkshake would never fit into the paper "take-out"
cup. It was<BR>> always the policy at our neighborhood Isaly's that the clerk
would pour the<BR>> excess into a glass and tell me to finish it off. A real
treat back then.<BR>> <BR>> I now work for Allegheny County on Perrysville
Avenue. For lunch, last<BR>> Tuesday, I decided to go to the Isaly's on Perry
Highway near Center Avenue<BR>> in West View. It was close, I could get the
chip-chop sandwich and a<BR>> vanilla milkshake to go and still have time to
finish it back at the<BR>> workplace. So I ordered and they began frying the
chip-chop and the<BR>> milkshake machine sprang to life making that familiar
high pitched buzzing<BR>> sound. I was looking at the scores of photographs
on the wall of this<BR>> Isaly's of old West View Park, the PRCo streetcars
and other things when<BR>> the lady at the counter called me over. She said,
"Here drink this up, it<BR>> all won't fit into the take out cup". It
was deja vu, all over again.<BR>> <BR>> This Isaly's is very much worth
going to. Still the same outside storefront<BR>> and still the same counter
with round stools and the same booths on the<BR>> opposite side of the store.
Same food cases with Isaly's meat and cheese<BR>> products and really great
photos on the walls. Well worth going to West<BR>> View to see and
enjoy.<BR>> <BR>> Also, much to my surprise, is much of the original
PRCo/PATransit Route<BR>> 10-West View trolley tracks are still hanging
around. The place where the<BR>> cars left Perrysville Avenue, past Bascombe
Street, is still there with the<BR>> rails embedded in cobblestone. Much of
the north end of that section of<BR>> private-right-of-way for the 10 and 11
was taken with the construction of<BR>> the Parkway North, aka I-279. Then,
just past Ross Bus Garage the<BR>> side-of-the-road tracks can be seen
gleaming in the sun just even with the<BR>> grass growing around them. This
goes on all the way to Center Avenue. I<BR>> have yet to drive down Center
Avenue to see what still remains.<BR>> <BR>> Like I said, it's worth the
trip to see the right-of-way and visit Isaly's.<BR>> <BR>> -- <BR>>
