The Sherman in Cecil
Tuesday

There’s a Fisher Body M4A3 Sherman Tank parked along Route 50 in Cecil, Pennsylvania.
It’s found in front of the local ‘VFW’ hall, which also seems to host a Boy Scout Troop. I’ve been driving back and forth past this thing for a while and finally pulled over to get a few shots.
Not too much to say about it, to be honest.

Cecil Township is found in PA.’s Washington County. Visual observation would find me describing this area as suburban/semi-rural levels of density.
Single family homes sitting on large lots, but within easy reach of Pittsburgh’s urban core about an hour’s highway drive away. Fracking, as the hydrological fracturing of the deep earth in pursuit of hydrocarbon recovery, is a huge ‘thing’ hereabouts.

The tank seems to be a beloved part of Cecil, and it’s been moved a few times from one spot to another.
Just a short one today. One and done. There you go.
Back tomorrow with something different.
