Chester....

...Pennsylvania, truly a City of change,
this one's run the gamut, or, the whole range,
once there was a shipyard and an auto plant;
replaced by boarded windows, and a successful rant.

But, things are improving slowly, change is under way,
now it can be said, today's a brighter day.
Bill Haley and the Comets, got their start here,
how many now remember how they used to cheer.
Top: The Commodore Barry Bridge, over the Deleware River.
Middle: A sign of improvment-all of these windows used to be boarded.
Bottom: Bill Haley and the Comets, started in Chester, it was their headquarters.

Note: I heard them live, in 1959 at the Navy Tech. Training Center in Norman, Oklahoma
