THE 80'S PT6

THE 80'S CONTINUE ON...

While the buildings stay the same, the vehicles change. The Ford Granada, Honda Accord, and VW camper are all gone now; the Cadillac Seville is one of the few still around (that sloped trunk didn't do much for capacity!). The Peterbilt 377 was brand new, as was the 48' Genstar container and chassis; only the container still exists -as a storage unit!

A view through the trees in the alley show a Ford Escort and an old VW Beetle out behind the Pawn Shop.

As a Plymouth Barracuda passes by on Market St., a Ford Mustang sits by what was then the local YMCA. The 'Cuda still rides, the 'Stang is long gone, and the YMCA is now the city library.

Another view of the alley shows two more Fords; a Fairmont and an old Econoline van. Though hard to see here, the van has a custom paint job, as was common during the late 70's/early 80's.

A man converses with one of the movers before they prepare to head off. Like many southern Pennsylvania cities, the decline of the steel industry led to an exodus of citizens from Hillsdale, as they sought greener pastures (jobs) elsewhere. Fortunately, today the city has a good job base, keeping most of the local population employed!
