When the clock face seen on the brewery here (now defunct) was built in 1933 it was the largest single face clock in the world.
It lived on a Coca Cola billboard about a mile and a half down the street. historicpittsburgh.org/islandora/ob...

It's an Irish tune, but seems to have a strong association with Prince Edward Island. The podorythmie suggests either Quebecois or Acadian (though doesn't rule out some other Canadian tradition).
Given the PEI association, it's likely Acadian.

![NUN-HISTORIAN BROOKLYN, N.Y. -- Sister Joan de Lourdes, a specialist in American colonial history, has become the first nun to be invited to address the American Historical Association. She will be a speaker Christmas week at the association's convention in Philadelphia. Chairman of the history department and dean of students at St. Joseph's College for Women, Brooklyn, Sister Joan is a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania where she did her doctoral work under Pulitzer Prize winner historian Dr. Roy Nichols. A fellow of the Rockefeller Foundation Colonial Williamsburgh [sic] Archives, the nun has had a number of scholarly articles on colonial government published.

While the highway dates to the early 1950s, residents of The Run have lived “under a bridge,” so to speak, since 1891. For those who think today’s bridges are in bad shape (they are, no doubt about it), do a quick internet search for the 1921 Greenfield Bridge collapse (photo from 1911). YIKES!

James appears to have left the contents of his wardrobe on Missionary Ridge. In his December 1863 letter to his sister, Kate, he assures her that he came through the fracas in one piece, but lost all his spare kit during the “skedaddle.”

Going through some old college documents for some governance work, chanced upon this student complaint from 1980 (well before my time in this business, obviously).
If only that were the main gripe today.
