How the Alarm Industry Pulled off off a master Deception all over the Tri State in late 70s early 80s

 Yes Dictograph Corporation   in the 1970's and 80's  stopped and deterred many shop lifters and employee thieves By leasing to to merchants  for $350.00 a month a CCTV Camera system 

With its big 3 inch Lens and red blinking light it panned back and forth  or was sometimes stationary carefully keeping an eye on shoppers and employees . Some times just 1 camera or as many as 3 to 6 cameras in a business 


A warning sign  warned that a sophisticated anti theft camera system was deployed


Once a month a technician would come in with his special suitcase go up a ladder open it up pull up an antenna and talk to a person at central control who gave directions how to adjust the camera.  

Except the whole thing was a charade the cameras where Fake   and the technician talking to master control that was a tape recording he was talking to in the brief case .


One of the most best kept secrets in the industry  they pulled it off for several years till thieves figured out what was going on. 

I thought all along they where fake but i was in the industry and knew we had fakes I even put up some that looked real at the time and still some times use them strategically  along with real cameras to give the impression every area on a floor is being watched. 

Plus the trick worked it stopped a lot of problems by being a deterrent .

Of course many business now have cameras and many times they are broken or not working or are of such poor quality the images can not be used in court but all in all dummy cameras have done their job.

It now serves as a Haunted Attraction but the property it is on has a much darker past. Sully Pool in South Park

 As you wind around the back roads of South Park in Allegheny County  you will come across Hundred Acres Manor a Haunted Attraction  used during Halloween. 

But this property served a much darker Past during the era of Jim Crow 

It was a Swimming Pool known as Sullys Pool  Officially Hundred Acres Pool  but more commonly known as " The Ink Well"  which is where Blacks where forced to swim and have a fun day at the pool instead of the big beautiful  Corrigan Road Pool which was suppose to be open to blacks but they where often discouraged from using it do to Unofficial Jim Crow Laws in Pa. both by Patrons and County Park Police



I remember as a young kid in early 70s swimming in Corrigan when attending the Altar Boys Picnic for St. Basil's  and there where a couple black kids but not in 60s when I was a child

  Corrigan closed permanently in 1977 due to too many leaks and cost to maintain  it. Became   a skate park for a while and now sits abandoned and Sullys closed after the wave pool opened in 80s.

While there was also a North Park Pool in Allegheny County  I have never heard of racial problems at this pool but it was much further to get to which is why Corrigan was more popular.

A shameful past  of Allegheny County's history and now long forgotten as no one younger than 50 would even remember the pools .

There needs to be memorial markers telling what went on at both pools so this shameful chapter is never forgotten and repeated .

A Strange Half Finished office Building along Lincoln Highway in Jeanette

 If you spend any amount of time going up and down the Lincoln Highway also known as US 30 there is a strange unfinished office building as you pass thru the outskirts of Jeanette Pa. across from what was Monsour Medical Center  which is now an empty lot.

now demolished Monsour Medical hospital


It has been sitting like that since at least late 1980s  its just a block and steel shell with windows not even all doors installed. So whats the story ? 

Well back in the 1958 4 brothers  all   Physicians  William ,Roy ,Robert and Howard  opened up 

The modern Monsour Medical Center.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monsour_Medical_Center

But the hospital seemed to always be burdened  with debt. Partially to do with the brothers disagreeing on how to run the hospital and who exactly was in change and constantly being dogged by regulators for not meeting regulations   .

One day the brother filed for bankruptcy and up and closed hospital leaving everything behind causing a hazmat problem  and improper disposal of patients records. 

The office building across the street was to be an expansion of the hospital featuring Doctors Offices and such  . but between not being able to pay bills and internal arguments it to was abandoned and at this point the property is still mired in muck of who owns what. 

So it will just sit like it has since at least the 80s.

 

Why would a Public Lake and Dam in Ohio have a sign Warning Keep Away Periodic Posionous Gas ?

 I was recently traveling thru Ohio after stopping to see a friend when I decided to travel the Ohio Byway Route Its a great weekend drive past Farm and field when I came across a sign for Clendenning Dam So I had to check it out  .

But its one of the strangest designs for Man Made  Lakes and Dams I have ever seen to make it even more intriguing where signs warning about Poisonous  Gas ? keep out  So whats the Story



Well this lake built by and maintained by  The Army Corp of Engineers in 1933 out of an old Quarry  to help control flooding in the area  has a most unusual Spillway set up.

https://kayakingacrossohio.blogspot.com/2015/10/clendening-lake-wisteria-wisteria-and.html

First to even get to see the lake and dam you go by the Spillways  exiting point where you see the signs  then have to wind around the mountain they cut thru to make the spillway tunnel  ,

 

Which is where the problem begins instead  this spillway was drilled thru hard rock and since this is Coal Mining area the local coal seams will occasionally leak out  Sulfide into the lake which when it combines with lake water produces Hydrogen Sulfide    which had a very strong rotten egg smell and is very hazardous.. and concentrates around the spillway area

The lake itself which is undeveloped and beautiful  had no such smell when I stopped to look around and take  pictures  but with this years drought there is a warning to Kayakers and Fisherman about strong plume developing.

If you go to visit the lake Cell Service is very limited and there is a small picnic area with playground with Restrooms and Two 1.1 mile trails to hike
