Author Josh Penrod is taking his second deep dive into the industrial heritage of the Johnstown region. This time he's looking at the dams of the region that helped to build the steel industry, and how they are now pivoting to recreational use. Josh will be speaking at Classic Elements on September 4th at 6 pm. You can pick up his books at both Classic Elements and Chameleon Bookstore downtown or on Amazon:

Julie Doyle and her husband run (Ha! See what I did there?) Up N Running in Ebensburg. She joined me to talk about running as a lifestyle and how a shop like Up N Running can help beginners on their running journey, or make sure that seasoned vets have the best equipment geared to their running style.
