Two amish men are currently tearing down whats left of the Swift Breaker in Paxinos, Northumberland Co. I don't really have any info. on it, but its approx. 3 miles from the Split Vein Breaker that recently burned. Ironiclly, the Swift Breaker also caught fire but was able to be put out by the Amish Water Bucket Birgade.

Also, the old Kmart has seemed to added a basement

is there much still standing? if so, I may have to head up there next week and check it out. I don't think I;'ve ever been to Northumberland county, actually.
