It's possible that the track is gone now (we left in 2000) get a copy of THE JUNIATA SENTINEL or PORT ROYAL TIMES to check it out. Locals love this scene, so if you move to Port Royal be prepared to love it, too! There is no way you will be able to ignore it if you live within 5 miles of Port Royal because you will be hearing it. Drunks lay out around the track all night, doing what folks do when intoxicated on a warm night out in a field (use your imagination). Car and tire parts come down in backyards. The dirt pretty much coats the town - homes, vehicles, streets. Races start around 6 and continue until after midnight, with Thunder Cars going about 1AM. At least once a week on Saturdays, and sometimes a weeknite in addition. Races start in March and run thru September or so. One reason is the dirt race car track IN town. Port Royal (in my opinion) is not a good choice. ![]() Adult literacy rates in the area are about 65% - that means more than a third of adults can't read at the 8th grade level! Quite a few prostitutes are very young, as it is common for girls there to quit school after 8th grade. In Lewistown, they worked the area just outside the cinema as the chldren's early show was letting out! And if you go to a truck stop to dine, you might see them working the guys eating at the counter while families have milkshakes a few yards away. For example, prostitution is pretty much out in the open, and you can see the working girls walking the town squares on Saturday evenings. ![]() There are also suburbs just to the west of Lewistown (along US322) which are worth a look as well.Ĭentral PA has a different view of some 'crimes' than other places I've lived. ![]() The suburbs right around the town were okay, and looked neat and small town pretty. The heroin problem (at least during the 90s) was pretty much confined to the people who used it. Downtown Lewistown isn't a bad area to shop in, walk around, etc etc. If your husband has been offered a job in Lewistown, then I recommend looking for something in that area.
