Solon 133. In the background is the Methodist Church, my home church. I remember if the fire whistle blew while the service was going on, several volunteers would jump up and leave and run across the parking lot to the fire station.

Guess the casino business must be good for the Pala tribe if they are getting rid of the aerial after less than 10 years (I'm guessing they are replacing it, not downsizing). I remember seeing the truck when it was brand new. Nice photo!

When we were looking for a used quint, there was an extraordinary percentage of them available that were ALF chassis units. There has to be a reason why... Most were 10-12 years old.
