The story of Coal Oil Johnny, described as "the prodigal prince of Petrolia," has been republished by the Oil Region Alliance . . . [the book] can be purchased at the Oil Region Alliance office in the National Transit Building, the Transit Fine Arts Gallery, the Venango Area Chamber of Commerce, the Venango Museum, the Venango County Historical Society and Drake Well Museum. The real bummer is, it's not available on Amazon. Assuming they sprang for the ISBN, it's foolish not to put it on the marketplace. There are a lot of people looking to take advantage of that niche, why not make it easier it for them?

Finally, someone to blame for Snakes on a Plane, The associate vice chancellor of university development at the University of Pittsburgh
Speaking of Pittsburgh, thank goodness they're able to explain to us ignorant hillbillies what we ought to do what to take care of our land. I grew up about a mile away from this tract, spent my childhood there, and I'd rather see it burnt to the ground and then plowed with salt than to see it continue to become a weekend cottage town of drunken suburbanites.

I find the Kentzel's attitude toward us offensive. We have well educated people here and I've never heard the term "mupsters" before. I have to believe they coined that to make us look like ignorant rednecks. I have heard the term da** Pittsburgers a lot of times though and articles like this are the reason why.
Victory twp native and proud of it!
