[PRCo] Castle Shannon slum???

[Edward H. Lybarger]

The fire department's lot is at Linden Grove, now Memorial Hall, stop.
That's at the intersection of Grove Road (or is it Sleepy Hollow?) and
Willow.  Willow station is the old municipal building stop.  Mine 2 was
north of Linden Grove.

Most of that land along the west side of Library Road ( somewhat south of
the Ford dealer) is owned by the Borough of Castle Shannon today. This
includes the Port Authority Park & Ride Lot at Willow Avenue. That lot is on
Borough Property and is operated by the C.S. Fire Dept. Could the park &
ride be the old "company housing" area?
