Way Way before my time here in Monessen, Pa there was a theater called The Manos Theater. The first movie they ever played was Red River with John Wayne, and I guess it was a big deal.
Here at the Monessen Heritage Museum it was decided there would be a Manos Theater display. So we obtained old usher jackets that were just torn to shreds. So it was my job to make a coat out of all the other coats. It was a lot of fun but hard work, I kind of missed sewing I guess.
Here are the photos of what I had to deal with and the end process.

More photos and finished coat at the end.

Krasiks
One of my favorite buildings in Monessen, Pa is being torn down. It’s the most noticable building on Donner Ave.
