     Air Conditioner
     I  bought this air conditioner brand new in 2003. We used it for
     2  months, we moved into a house with central air. It requires a
     220 outlet, it is a 18,000BTU. It is a whirlpool, I paid $425.00
     for it, I am selling it for $150.00. The reason it is so low  is
     because  it is just setting around and I would like for  someone
     to get some use out it.

     OUR LOCAL HERITAGE
     
     Take  The Trolley: If you were alive in 1902, you might have been
     among  the  first  to ride a new-fangled means of transportation,
     the  trolley. The 'Leechburg and Apollo Electric Railway Company'
     lines ran between the two towns, passing through North Apollo and
     Parks Township. It used the old canal towpath. Today, remains  of
     the trolley's era can still be seen…
