Thought I might tell you people a little about Altoona, Pennsylvania and about me.

I live on  a hill in this Altoona, making skateboarding quite interesting. Altoona is a railroad town at heart, with a bunch of tracks being a thirty second walk away from my house. Altoona has a neat railroad center, with trains that leave from it coming by our house.

Altoona is nestled in a valley, about three hours away from surch well known places as Pittsburgh, Hershey, and about 4 from Phillidelphia, depending on who you drive with.

Some noteworthy things in the below photo- not taken by me!

The Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament- the one with the dome.

Gospel Hill, you can't see it but you can see the big flag  mounted on top.

My house is more to the left and back.

And today's not so random photo... Of Altoona... Taken by me. The view from Garfield park, up my street a little ways. The Afore Mentioned Cathedral is a bit to the left.

We do have wolves and bears and other scary things.............But that's called Ebensburgh. (Annette will get that one)

Seriously, though, we do have wolves and other stuff like that, just up the mountain.

Yar.
