Nittany Lion Shrine

The Nittany Lion Shrine is a large mountain lion sculpture carved by Heinz Warneke located at the University Park campus of Pennsylvania State University. History 20th century The Nittany Lion Shrine at Pennsylvania State University was dedicated on October 24, 1942 during homecoming. Animalier Heinz Warneke and stonecutter Joseph Garatti created it from a 13-ton block of Indiana limestone. The shrine was chosen from six models submitted by Warneke. The shrine is a gift of the class of 1940 and rests in a natural setting of trees near Recreation Building. 21st century In 2013, the shrine was renovated to improve the lighting, add a sidewalk, and add large decorative stones. The improvement was the gift by the Penn State's class of 2012. Incidents 20th century incidents In 1966, Sue Paterno, wife of football coach Joe Paterno, and a friend secretly splashed water-soluble orange paint on the Nittany Lion Shrine the week of the Syracuse game. On November 2, 1966, six Syracuse students drove from Syracuse to State College with an old, air-loaded fire extinguisher filled with orange paint. Arriving on the Penn State campus, they found the Nittany Lion statue flood lit, deserted, and completely clean. Within minutes they painted the lion, jumped back in their car, and drove away from campus undetected. On the way out of town, they spotted a sign for Beaver Stadium, and turned into the parking lot there, prepared to paint the field's goal posts orange as well. Stadium police guarding ABC television equipment for the Saturday game broadcast switched on the stadium lights and raced towards the end zone where the students were located. As the students fled, one of them became tangled climbing over the five-foot high chain-link fence surrounding the field. He was taken into custody by the police, and released the following morning. The students were subsequently brought before Syracuse University's student court, but the case was dismissed as a simple college prank. The Daily Orange published an editorial lauding the students and helped organize a fund of student donations to pay for the sandblasting required to remove the paint from the Nittany Lion statue, a task which was completed by game-time on November 5. This prank reignited a tradition that had become dormant among eastern football schools' rivalries. Attempts at similar pranks were then repeated many times in subsequent years. In 1978, the Lion Shrine was vandalized when a blunt object was used to break off the statue's right ear. The original sculptor, Heinz Warneke, was alive at the time and, with some difficulty, was able to match the stone and repair the damaged ear. This incident led to the site being guarded during home football games. The right ear was vandalized again in 1997. 21st century incidents In 2003 and 2018, the Lion Shrine's ear was broken off again, but it was unclear whether or not it was from vandalism. Gallery Nittany Lion Shrine replicas Almost every one of the Pennsylvania State University Commonwealth Campuses has a replica of the Nittany Lion Shrine.

North Hanover Mall

North Hanover Mall was a shopping mall in Hanover, Pennsylvania. It was anchored by Rural King. History The mall opened in 1967 as an open-air strip including W.T. Grant, Town & Country (a discount chain then owned by Lane Bryant), Sears, and Food Fair. In 1969 and 1970, it underwent reconstruction to become an enclosed shopping mall, with The Bon-Ton moving from an existing store downtown and JCPenney joining. The Town & Country store became Kmart, which moved out in 1995 to a Superstore nearby that closed in 2004 and became Black Rose Antiques. The Bon-Ton moved out in 2006. After Black Rose Antiques moved out of the mall, construction began in 2007 to demolish the former Black Rose building for a Dick's Sporting Goods, while also demolishing the former Bon-Ton for a two-story Boscov's. Although Boscov's was originally to open in 2008, its opening date was later pushed back to 2009, but in April of that year, the mall's manager confirmed that Boscov's would not be opening in that space. In 2012, JCPenney moved into the space originally planned for Boscov's. On September 9, 2014, PREIT sold the North Hanover Mall, as well as State College's Nittany Mall, for a combined $32.3 million. It sold the North Hanover Mall as part of a portfolio-improvement initiative it launched in 2012, which involved selling underperforming properties. The 452,000-square-foot North Hanover Mall had sales of $275 per square foot at the end of June and a non-anchor occupancy of 72.8 percent, according to the trust. Sales and occupancy at the mall lagged the trust's portfolio, which had averaged sales of $378 per square foot and non-anchor occupancy of 89.5 percent for the same time period. The buyer of the mall was Mason Asset Management of Great Neck, New York. On January 4, 2018, it was announced that Sears would be closing as part of a plan to close 103 stores nationwide. The store closed in April 2018. On June 4, 2020, JCPenney announced that this location would be closing on October 18, 2020, as part of a plan to close 154 stores nationwide. A Rural King store opened in the former Sears location in Spring of 2021. Hiring for the new anchor store began in mid-December 2020. On March 28, 2022, a fire broke out on the roof of the former JCPenney building in one of the HVAC units, causing an estimated $1 million in damage to the building as well as the attached mall. The former JCPenney has since been demolished. On February 21, 2025, Burlington closed their doors at this location leaving Rural King as the sole operating anchor. On November 17, 2025, Hanover Borough officials condemned the North Hanover Mall until repairs have been made due to a wall partially collapsing where the former JCPenney store used to be..

Northampton County Prison

Northampton County Prison is a county-level prison located in Easton, Pennsylvania in the United States. The prison is situated adjacent to the Northampton County Courthouse and consists of four inter-connected buildings. It contains 15 separate housing units and a community corrections facility (work release) with a capacity of 913 inmates. History The newly formed Northampton County built its first jailhouse in 1753. The building was located in Easton's Centre Square. The building was constructed from massive stone walls and served two purposes, to detain prisoners and to act as a safe house in the event of an attack from nearby Native American tribes. In 1851 the jail was relocated to Sitgreaves Street. The new building contained 27 cells and was surrounded by 15-foot (4.6 m) high walls. In 1861 the Northampton County courthouse was built on its present site on Washington Street. The jail was too small at this time and offered an inconvenience in transporting prisoners to and from the courthouse. In 1868 work began on a new prison adjacent to the courthouse. The building was completed in 1871 at a cost of $200,000. The building has undergone major renovation due to overcrowding. In 1909 an addition was completed and soon after a wall was erected to contain an outside recreation area to comply with state law. In 1993, two direct supervision units were added, soon followed by the freestanding Community Corrections Facility. In 2004, the Northampton County Council approved a $22.8 million expansion. The new expansion was completed in 2006 and consisted of two towers with three "podular"/direct supervision units, a new intake unit, and connection of the buildings.

Pegula Ice Arena

The Pegula Ice Arena is a 6,014-seat multi-purpose arena in College Township, Pennsylvania on the campus of Penn State University. As with all locations on the Penn State campus, its mailing address is University Park. The facility is located on the corner of Curtin Road and University Drive near the Bryce Jordan Center. The arena is named after Kim and Terry Pegula for their donations to fund the arena and it replaced the 1,350-seat Penn State Ice Pavilion. The arena contains two ice surfaces. One, the Varsity Rink, is used for Penn State Hockey games and other main events. It has a capacity of 6,014. The other, the Community Rink, has a capacity of 300 and functions as a public ice rink for the community. History On September 17, 2010 it was officially announced that the Penn State men's and women's ice hockey programs would move to the NCAA Division I level for the 2012-13 season. The teams competed in the existing 1,350-seat Penn State Ice Pavilion until the new arena was completed in the fall of 2013. On November 5, 2010 the Penn State Board of Trustees appointed Crawford Architects and Bohlin Cywinski Jackson as the architects for the new arena. Crawford Architects has worked on projects in the US and internationally and Bohlin Cywinski Jackson designed the Biobehavioral Health Building, currently under construction on the PSU campus. It was announced on January 21, 2011 that the arena would be named in honor of Kim and Terry Pegula, whose $88 million donation helped fund the arena and the creation of men's and women's varsity ice hockey programs. On February 15, 2011, it was announced that the main lobby of the arena would be named after the Silvis family, following a $1 million donation by Paul and Nancy Silvis. The arena opened on October 11, 2013 when the PSU men’s ice hockey team hosted Army. Pegula Ice Arena is capable of hosting other on-ice events, including ice shows and National Hockey League and American Hockey League exhibition games. The first NHL exhibition game at the arena, featuring Pegula's Buffalo Sabres hosting the Minnesota Wild, took place in September 2016, seeing the Minnesota Wild score the game-winning goal with less than 5 seconds in regulation for a 2-1 win. The Sabres would return to the arena for a preseason game in 2017. The main ice arena features a main competition ice arena with seating for about 6,000 spectators. The facility also includes a practice rink, offices, locker rooms and player areas. The facility was entirely privately funded as part of the $88 million gift, the largest in the university's history, to advance the men's and women's ice hockey programs to the NCAA Division I level and provide a suitable facility for that move. On January 25, 2025, the Arena reached its record capacity of 6,604 during Penn State’s 3-2 overtime win against Ohio State.
