Confederate Flag Removed From Pennsylvania Capitol Display

14. I live not far from where a huge Civil War hospital complex existed

The Mower hospital serviced injured soldiers who were brought there by train from the front lines in the south. The facility was a good ways from downtown, in the NW part of the city.

The entire complex was bowled down when the war was over. Houses, apartment buildings, and a shopping area were built on the land, but the train station remains (still in service and run by SEPTA) and the old stone water tower that supplied water to the complex is still around (now part of a park/playground with tennis courts right across from an elementary school that I had briefly attended back in the late '60s). You wouldn't know what was there before - it's pretty remarkable.

So yeah, very much a Union city.
