Soldiers on the way to the Spa

The new Pennsylvania Army National Guard facility just outside Cambridge Springs will provide 40 full-time jobs, reported Tim Hahn in yesterday's Erie Times-News. Borough officials hope that local businesses will benefit from the presence of those employees, as well as the 400 soldiers who train at the facility two weekends a month.

I'm sure local bar owners are especially salivating at the prospect of all those soldiers spending some free time imbibing at their establishments. And the Iron Horse Saloon gets bonus points for posting a "Welcome National Guard" Budweiser sign on the outside of its building.
