Two Cambria County natives are working to spruce up Johnstown’s Cambria City neighborhood.

Question and answer with Chad Pysher and Steven Biter, co-owners of Cambria City Flowers.

Bells inside the former SS. Casimir and Emerich Roman Catholic Church are going to once again ring clear throughout Johnstown’s Cambria City neighborhood.

Flickering candles were placed on top of hay-covered tables set for a 13-course dinner.

Cambria City possesses a palpable sense of place.

The little Johnstown neighborhood, bordered by the Conemaugh River between Roosevelt Boulevard and 10th Avenue, is easily identified by its historic church steeples that stand tall above a community of residential structures. It is home to mom-and-pop businesses, social clubs, 19th-century buildings and a growing art community.

Some historic buildings in the Cambria City section of town soon will be getting repairs.

It’s new name is already appropriate.

But “The Green” – a Cambria City lot at the corner of 7th Avenue and Chestnut Street – will soon be so much more than that, the property’s new owners said.
