[quote user="Paul Milenkovic"] I looked on Wikipedia, but only got so far. Juniata is a river, a county, and also a community adjoining Altoona? The name is said to be of Seneca Nation derivation, but how do people say it? Thanks, [/quote] As noted above, I was reared in Altoona.  The locals pronounce Juniata differently and don't pay it much attention. Juniata is an integral part of Altoona.  It was a separate community at one time, but it was incorporated into Altoona in the late 19th century.   I grew up in Eldorado.  It was solid middle class.  Many of our neighbors were engineers, firemen, and conductors on the PRR.  Or they were highly skilled craftsmen who worked in the shops, i.e. machinists, boiler makers, pipe fitters, etc. Most of the wealthy people in Altoona, when I was growing up, lived in Columbia Park, Mansion Park, and Llyswen.   Growing up in Altoona we thought of the trains as running east or west. Actually, the mainline runs through Altoona more on a northeast / southwest heading.
