UPDATE: 'Don't Leave Hazleton Campaign'
Follow the link above and vote today on the Institute Bulletin (SCROLL RIGHT when ya get there!) for the new and official Hazleton Slogan! Please vote because we here at Hazleton Pravda and the Institute wanna know what you think about Hazleton too! And by that I mean we wanna know why YOU think it sucks!

Jan Lewan Attacked in Prison
I didn't want to touch this, but it won't go away. And it seems clear to me that this whole situation is the result of Polka. Either he was trying to expose his fellow inmates to it, singing in the shower or (gawd forbid) polka-ing in his sleep!

UNUSUAL EVENT at Berwick Nukie Plant!
I was thinking about those three-eyed fish from the Simpsons cartoon, but wait it's much better then that (Note: HazPrav is NOT ruling those fish out down in Wapwallopen!). They had an electrical problem resulting in a electrical failure. Now nukie power is still the best way to generate electricity, but whether it is a good idea or not to place this kind of technology in the hands of Pennsylvanians is a completely different thing! This ain't like monkeys and Shakespeare, people! I worry.

McAdoo Subsidence Probe
They have to investigate? The answer is this: The ENTIRE AREA IS UNDERMINED and falling in on itself! Hello? Oh, for those unfamiliar, 'undermined' is a term for the city streets and blocks built over mine excavations that are weakening over time and collapsing in upon themselves. This area is loaded with that kind of forethought engineering.

New Linking Road
This is a good and bad thing. On one hand it may help traffic. On the other it is sure to make Hazleton more circular and harder to escape from.

Eagle Rock Expansion
Here's another coin-sided thing. Eagle Rock is full of cardboard houses not worth their own construction and filled with self-absorbed Hazleton Highlife that are literally eating up the mountain landscape. The landscape isn't that great, but it IS better then nothing. I know one morning that I was privy to watch a great bird (a hawk, but maybe an eagle?) flying over the mountains of one of these nearly per-fab homes. It was majestic; the bird, the pines covering the mountain and the sun bathing it all in a warm summer gaze. All that is being taken away. No room! No room! I could lead this into a huge rant about the Klinger Estates and such like that. Beautiful land being turned into suburbia. How disgusting...Enjoy! Enjoy!
