Remember When Special Section!


The Reporter's annual Remember When section is out, and you can see it online HERE. This year we take a look at what area residents did for fun years ago, everything from races at Hatfield Speedway and summer camps to diners and drive-in movies.

We have three videos to accompany this section, the first of which is a profile of the R&S Keystone Diner, a local favorite since it opened in 1948:


The second video is an explanation of how the mechanics of the historic Menlo Carousel in Perkasie works:

And the third is footage of Hatfield Speedway from the 1930's taken by Montgomeryville grocer and amateur cinemtographer Nelson Stoudt:
