Ah, yes, Altoona.. It's one of the bigger cities in the area, and people might recognise it. There was a country singer, Shelly Wright, who went to the prom with an altoona high school senior. Or maybe the shooting of a police officer. Other than that, it's probably just a city you would drive through (I-99) and say "yeah that's nice", and keep on going.
There's not a whole lot to do here, if you don't have money to spend. If you have money, there's the movies, bowling, plenty of restaurants, a pool hall, shopping, gyms, roller skating, and amusement parks.
New to Altoona is Blair County Ballpark, and AA baseball team, the Altoona Curve. The team is an affiliate of the Pittsburg Pirates. Now, for a fairly cheap price you can go on out to the ballpark and an enjoy an exciting game of baseball.
If you've got a car, you can always pick up a couple of friends and go cruising on the boulevard. Sometimes you may get a chase from a car load of hotties. Other nights, all you do is drive.. drive... drive... and end up wasting gas. ;)
I am in the process of taking some pictures to put up. Please check back again, I know you're anxiously awaiting them. hehe
