Ayyy took a train into tyrone yesterday. Interesting town.

I've never met a local - anywhere walkable to the train station that I can kill time over a beer during the day? I've been curious for years.

Not really walkable unless you’re a member of the vfw which is super close. We are kind of a one horse town. If my family didn’t originate here, I probably would have never heard of it. Lol.

Weird, you'd imagine a place named after a county in Ireland wouldn't have a pub on main street. Also, yeah I passed the VFW on the way from the wine store back to the highway.

The distributor there was pretty good when I went a few months ago, though the people there wanted to have like a full 20 min conversation with me instead of scanning my shit so I could pay them and leave.

Also what's up with that building with the random woman painted on looking out the window?

I think the random woman building is where they knocked down an old abandoned building and turned it into a little park of sorts. That’s where we light the Christmas tree and have the St. Patrick’s day goings on.

I’m not at all surprised they were trying to talk your ear off. I moved up here from Jacksonville Florida and everyone here is much more social and easy going. Everyone wants to talk and get to know you. It’s hands down different than city life but can be frustrating when you’re just in a hurry and you want to buy your stuff and get out.

We have an “ok” one called the bull pen, but it is not walking distance from the train. The walking traffic is non- existent here. Lol. We all usually go to Altoona or state college for fun. We have an plethora of pizza joints and churches. Oh! And of course sheetz.

I live in the area, insofar as "Breezewood" is "the area". LOL. It's not that close, but it was close enough to go there for high school football games and stuff.

Yea, that’s a trek from breezewood but not for football! I live right next to the football “stadium” and it is NUTS during home games. You can feel the vibration in the air. This town goes hard for our high school team.
