Lykens/wiconisco Football Stadium

This football stadium in Lykens has a stone wall at least on three sides. The wall along the sideline of the field is not as high as this, I would estimate the top of it at ten feet or just about the level of the tops of the windows. This portion is close to 16 feet – the doors are six foot eight inches, the steps to them are another one foot four inches (8 feet) and they top of the door is just under half the height of the wall. The two plaques in the wall say, Memorial Park, Post No 124, American Legion and 1940- WPA Project 25465. This was one of the Roosevelt Work Projects Association projects. Note that this one was started in 1940. Many think the depression was over in the mid thirties, this is false. The WPA (We Poke Along) was well and kicking in 1940. Roosevelt's actions lengthened the depression. It took a world war to end it. I wonder if it will take that for another democrat to end a recession. 40°34'0.81"N 76°41'50.13"W.
