June 6, 201114 yr I dig that little tower they got. "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
June 7, 201114 yr You know, if you told me those pictures were taken on a Sunday morning in the neighborhood of a big northeastern city, I would have believed you. The architecture and the scale of most of those buildings is far beyond what I would have expected for a small town like Uniontown. Great photos!!!

June 7, 201114 yr Impressive city. When I saw this: I thought of Henry Hobson Richardson and the Allegheny County Courthouse and Prison in Pittsburgh:
June 7, 201114 yr Much more comprehensive than another Uniontown thread from a couple of years ago. This place is East Liverpool on steroids.
June 7, 201114 yr Wow I have never heard of that town. Awesome looking place. The best part about Uniontown is driving into it on US40 from the east. If you like steep hills with awesome views, you will love that view of Uniontown. I drove that road in 1993 while taking the scenic route from Washington DC to Cleveland. Awesome drive. EDIT: Google Streetview has the US40 hill descent (or climb!) in this area including the awesome view from the Historic Summit Inn Resort. I love the sign at the top of the hill that says "VERY STEEP GRADE NEXT 3 MILES"! But I am bummed to see that it's been turned into a divided, limited-access highway at the bottom of the hill. I remember coming down the hill and going right into town on mostly two-lane roads. Ah the good ol' scary days....

June 7, 201114 yr ^I will have to do that one of these days. I would love to drive out to Pittsburgh and I guess I'd have to hit Uniontown on the way.
June 7, 201114 yr Another great drive is US250 from I-77/New Philadelphia, OH to Fairmount, WV where you can pick up I-79 and then to I-68 into Washington DC. If you like sharp turns and curves, US250 is sure to bring a smile to your face. If you have a sportscar or a motorcycle, so much the better!!

June 7, 201114 yr ^ Fairmount and, more so, nearby Clarksburg, are -- like Uniontown -- small mountain cities that seem mcuh bigger than they are, with their historic towers.
June 10, 201114 yr Very nice, I love Pennsylvania. Evergrey's tour from 2008 isn't too shabby either... http://www.urbanohio.com/forum2/index.php/topic,17423.msg328879.html#msg328879
