WESTLINE INN: We always love to hear about visitors enjoying the beauty that rural Pennsylvania has to offer. We like it here, too.

Amy Pierotti passed along a recent article from Food & Wine magazine — “The Coziest Restaurant in Every State” — that featured a local spot Pennsylvania’s entry was McKean County’s own Westline Inn.

“Work your way through bacon-wrapped shrimp and slurpable French onion soup in the company of taxidermied pheasants and deer,” the entry read.

WATCH: Our old friend Clayton Vecellio of Lewis Run sent a news article that ran in the July 14, 1952, edition of the Olean (N.Y.) Time Herald called “Sky Over Olean Watched: Volunteers Begin 24-Hour-Daily Hunt for Enemy Planes In New Spotters’ Post.”

Clayton got a kick out of what the serious skywatchers spotted:

“Olean’s volunteer skywatch for suspicious, low-flying airplanes got under way today at 8 a.m. in a new, breeze-cooled observation post on the First National Bank roof.

“At that hour, Harold Welch, W. River Rd., first volunteer to take over an observation period, went on duty. He is a night employe of Clark Brothers Co., Inc., and he served until noon today.

“He was joined for part of the morning by Stuart G. Davis, in charge of the observers.

“Up until 11 a.m., a few small planes were noticed, but none were seen which required reports by telephone to the Air Force filer center at Buffalo.

“The new observation post is a square structure, painted grey, near the south edge of the roof of the bank building, and it commands a view of the sky in all directions.

“Mr. Welch had field glasses, and during a sweep of the hills and sky, he could see out several persons on Mt. Hermanns, picking blueberries.”
