That's the old Crown Z Mill Right? Haven't been back to PA since we sold our place west of town several years ago.

The thing with tourism is you are relying on other people to come to you with disposable income. With timber products you are making and selling a needed item. Sure the need goes up and down, but in the end you are adding to the wealth of the nation by turning a raw resource into a useable product. With tourism you are hoping that somewhere else someone else made a little extra and that they will pick your little corner of the globe to visit and spend money. Tourism studies have found that many places spend more promoting themselves as a tourist spot than they bring in from tourism. It is a sham, a pipe dream, sold by people who think the whole world should be a park for them to play in.

The local mill is advertising for more workers.

The newspaper also had ads for a hooktender and rigging slinger. Times are getting better.
