We've Felt So Inclined

Johnstown, Pennsylvania.

A town most commonly known for being flooded count 'em, three times, including the "Great Flood" in the late 1800's. Just walking thru the local Walmart you can see that the community is still yet to recover. Not good news for residents of New Orleans. So what does a group of culture vultures and cosmopolitans such as ourselves go on a Sunday evening?

Answer: The Incline.

Get this: Johnstown, PA has the world's steepest vehicular inclined plane. Believe it. And we rode it.

Holding on for dear life

Looks scary huh?

The main motivation behind riding such an obvious certain disaster was because at the top is a bar called City View where you can... view the city.

Don't jump Daniel!

Daniel, Brian, Jeff & I came across what looked to be a map of Hell and found it a fitting background for a photoshoot.

Daniel seems to be quite content in Hell

Being a perfect angel while on Earth, I was a tad confused

Jeff didn't understand the assignment

The food was fine, but we spent most of the time out of our seats trying to guess the city depicted on the bathroom walls (I came closest with a guess of southern California when it was Arizona) and enjoying the wonderous view of the nice and dry version of Johnstown.

You can see the potential for flood disaster

And what outing would be complete without a nice dose of ice cream? None I tell you.

For a finale we took in a screening of Angels & Demons. Guess which is which.
