The Bank President is having lunch at the counter, right next to a man who just finished cutting hay. You order off the "light" menu, so you don't feel too guilty having that great big "slab" of apple pie. | |
 | Our sandwich menu includes our texas cheese steak sandwich and fantastic reubens. Dinner menu choices range from turkey, to steaks, to great lasagna and prices range from $4 to $12. Everything is good, but some local favorites are our Ham Pot Pie or fresh dough pizza. Daily specials include: WEDNESDAYS - Liver and Onions THURSDAYS - Ham Pot Pie FRIDAYS - Pub Fried Fish |

The Big Question Visitors often can't figure out why we call our town "Pleasantville", but the official town name is "Alum Bank". Which is it? Pleasantville or Alum Bank? 
The Big Answer Our intended town name was always "Pleasantville", but the Federal Government already had 3 Pleasantvilles listed in PA. So, we had to take on a new name,for our Post Office since there could only be one "Pleasantville" Post office. Since there was a large bank of Alum nearby,our name became Alum Bank. Alum, of course, is used to make pickles. |
