Enjoyed Altoona.  Lived at 108 Aldrich Avenue, a couple blocks from Baker Mansion.  Nice old railroad town / city.  Can't take a picture of Altoona without a train in it!  I went to Penn State in Altoona.  Lots to see and do, Lakemont Park, Portage Railroad, etc...  You need to hear the ORGAN at the Cathedral.
