Oddly enough the only story that isn’t a pet photo contest that has gotten more than 100,000 views is ‘Hoagie Wars: East End vs. Macs Market’ with 13644 views. One thing that could have possibly got it all the views is the fact that it is very relevant to people in town.
The story after that holding 7326 views is ‘DelGrosso’s Amusement Park announces $12.5 million waterpark expansion for 2016’ it has gotten its views by being a big change in our town and one of the easiest ways to learn information about it. It also talked about the Rockstar that was added along.
1979 Tyrone graduate Jeff Long in front of his largest Graystone project to date, the Altoona Grande Palazzo.
‘Long on Vision: Tyrone Alum Transforming an Altoona Neighborhood’ is the next one with 5925 views. It was of interest not only for people who knew Jeff Long but of Altoona’s people too, said Eagle Eye adviser Todd Cammarata.
The next story has 5136 views and is ’The Enforcer: The Story of Clint Wilson’ the reason why this one may have gotten many of its views is that it was a good story, and a good bit close to home.
