Please pass the biscuits!

  You see a lot of things when you're
walking! New things are always
impressive.....especially when those
"new things" are improvements to
"old things!"
  It's been about 61 years since workers
reported to the Hitchner Biscuit Company
in West Pittston. But there seemed to be
a full crew on the job when I walked by
the old building yesterday!
   Of course the guys I saw weren't
bakers although I did get the feeling
there's a lot of "dough" involved in their
efforts! And I was right!
    United Neighborhood Centers is
investing nearly six million dollars to
convert the old factory into an apartment
complex! That's a lot of biscuits!
    While the building is being
transformed, I'm kind of hoping some
effort might be made to maintain it's
history by reviving some of the
lettering that's been left behind on
the brick facade outside.
    It's faded a lot since the days when
the odor of fresh baked biscuits spread
throughout the neighborhood. But you
can still make out the company name
and logo.
     It was kind of neat to see some of
the construction workers on the job.
Especially those with their lunch box.
    You just had to wonder if any of them
brought biscuits to go with their bologna!
    Hope you're into preservation........
pickles or properties......and that all you
NEWS is good!
