I "lived" in Beaver Pa for a few weeks in 1987. That was a strange transition. I left Ft Dix after my school for the US Army Reserve and caught a bus in Philly to Pittsboig. I found a job at a Dodge dealer on the west side of Pittsburg and was staying with my Aunt and Uncle in Beaver. I found a cool little hot rod shop, I think it was downtown Beaver Falls and went to a cruise on Saturday afternoon at a drive-in burger stand along the river. I had a good time driving my Uncle's Bronco around the area exploring.
I never actually showed up at work. I interviewed, then called my mom's office the next morning (they had a 800 #) to tell her the good news. The secretary answered and told me she was out because she was in the hospital. I caught a plane later that day back to Texas. Moved back in with my folks while my mom was recovering.
And that is the story of how I almost ended up living in Pennsylvania.
