July 31, 2009 – 7:00 p.m. August 1, 2009 – 2:00 p.m. August 1, 2009 – 7:00 p.m. The Town That Was A documentary about Centralia Tickets: $5.00 per person The Town that Was is an independent film directed by Chris Perkel and Georgie Roland depicting the life of Centralia residents remaining in the community today. In 1962, a trash fire ignited a seam of anthracite coal beneath Centralia, Pennsylvania, a once thriving mining town of over 1600 people. By the mid 1980’s, giant plumes of smoke and deadly carbon monoxide gases billowed from fissures in the ground, the local highway cracked and collapsed, trees were bleached white and petrified, as the fire continued to rage unchecked. It wasn’t until a young boy nearly died after falling into a smoldering mine subsidence that the government was pressed into action. After estimating the cost of extinguishing the fire at over a half a billion dollars, the government opted to raze the town and relocate its residents. Today, 11 die-hards remain.

This morning I set up a new profile for my new company, Schuylkill Appraisal Services.

Schuylkill Executives, LLC is the entity that owns Realty Executives, our Pottsville real estate firm.

I do business with numerous banks, lenders, attorneys, and other professionals. Realty Executives is constantly getting calls from these professionals asking us to appraiser properties for trusts, estates, divorces, etc. The answer used to be, "We are not appraisers, but I can give you a BPO or CMA."

No longer! Now we can say "We are not appraisers. But our sister company, Schuylkill Appraisals, can help you!."

Marcy Kleckner, Certified Residential Appraiser, was hired to run the appraisal company.

We are not appraising in-house listings or sales. But we will do appraisals for any banks or lenders on non-in-house deals. (Some lenders here are still allowed to order their own appraisers, depening on the type of loan).

We are on the approved list for a few dozen AMC's as well, and are adding to that list every week.

We also are getting a nice flow of business from local attorneys for estate/trust work, and other situations.
