Please schedule it sometime time after July 1st, as I may being traveling to Staryj Kraju in June. Matt, Theophan, will it be in Blair County? I haven't been "up there" for several years since my college days at Penn State-Altoona. Is the small Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church still open in Altoona? I'll make sure I'm visiting Windber that weekend.

Is the small Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church still open in Altoona? Can't tell you for sure. Until recently they had Liturgy on Saturday evenings because the priest lived in Barnesboro, now Northern Cambria and the drive is about 40+ miles one way. Might have to be in August at this point due to the park's calendar. BOB

I used to go to both churches when Father Gutherie was pastor. St. Mary Church (Altoona) had a Saturday evening liturgy, while Barnesboro had their liturgy on Sunday morning. I hear that Fr. Paul is still serving parishes in Eastern PA. I need to visit him sometime, he's a awesome priest!

Well, I just heard that Chobany's Market in Portage is no more but there is another, Porinchak's Market, that does a great job with kielbassa and sausage.

I've heard tell of a butcher shop so renowned, it has been enshrined in song -- Christmas song, no less. The location of this particular shrine to tubular meat has been described as "north of the mountain". And I've also heard that when ordering sliced meats, one's options are limited to "tick" and "tin". So, I was prompted to do a bit of research, and discovered that this shop is not only famous for it's kielbasa, but OWNS the kielbasa URL: http://www.kielbasy.net/Kowalonek's Kielbasy Shop of Shenandoah, PA. I believe, my friends, that Kowalonek's is the Rosslyn Chapel of the kielbasa world. NB: You can hear the songs on the website, too! Oh wow... they even have KIELBASY DIP! I can't look at their website any more or I'm afraid I'll be smitten with the call of the Kielbasa Code and quit my job, forsake my family, and immediately drive to Shenandoah 462 and spend all of my money on pork.

Domilsean,
Shenandoah and Centraila are pretty close. I wonder if the ongoing mine fire in Centrailia has something to do with the Kielbasa Code and the close proximity to the Kowalonek's shop?
I think we are getting close.
Pick me up on the way, we'll jet down 322 to 81 north. We've got pork to buy and codes to crack.

What I meant was that it seemed that most wanted to cook indoors and not over charcoal. yeah, but I couldn't resist  If this was *much* further west, I really would bring beer or wine. Or if it was still 3 or 4 years ago, when I was in DuBois . . . hawk

Actually, since Carpatho Russia, Ukraine and Poland all belong to Russia, kielbasa is actually Russian!
Alexandr, ducking for cover!!! I don't remember ever seeing a real Russian eating kielbasa. On the other hand, real Russians are rare in NE Pa. Dn. Robert

OP:
Have you and domilsean thought about simply having some of this treat from Shenandoah sent to you packed in dry ice? With the price of gasoline, it might make more sense than to take a trip to NE PA.
