I know the new planes are more fuel efficient but….<BR><BR>If I take that $104
super saver to the west coast in 1972 and adjust it for normal inflation, it

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