The Old Swimming Hole: 1941
July 1941. Swimming hole at Pine Grove Mills, Pennsylvania. View full size. Photograph by Edwin Rosskam for the Farm Security Administration.
This reminds me
of the times we would go swimming it the stock pond. Cows and scum on the water in one end, and us not knowing any better having a good time on the other end. No one ever got sick.
The Old Swimming Hole
Today the path down the hill and the pond would both need wheelchair access, the water would be checked daily for carcinogens and bacteria, seven lifeguards would be required and fees would be charged; in short, the lawyers and bureaucrats would shut it down.
Heaven!
This is what heaven is like- it's the middle of summer, you're 11 years old, you swim in the pond when you're not riding your bike, and every night you have pie for dessert.
Old swimming hole
This was in Pine Grove Mills ... it is no longer there, has a house on it now. It was right before Chestnut Street going up the mountain.
