<div dir="ltr"><div><div>John,<br><br></div>Reference your comments on the Official Map:<br><br></div>While Soho is not shown on the map, the street signs along 5th Avenue and Forbes Avenue do show "Soho" above the street names as that district. Glenwood has now become Glen Hazel. Ingram is not part of the city, it is it's own borough, hence not listed on the map. The Fairywood district of the city is just above Ingram and Ingram Car House may have actually been in the Fairywood district. I'll have to check that out to be sure. Allentown and Polish Hill are listed on the map. Atwood has been called South Oakland for many years. I drove a bus route which was different than the 81-Atwood in the mid 1970s and it was called South Oakland Shuttle. I don't recall the number. Friendship is also listed on the map. Woods Run has become Chateau district. Birmingham is now South Side Flats albeit the bridge which replaced the 22nd St Bridge is called the Birmingham Bridge. Fred explained what happened to Nunnery Hill and although Forbes & Braddock is beside Frick Park, you would now be standing in Squirrel Hill South. <br>

Where's Soho and Glenwood?? What about Ingram and Temperencesville??<br>
<br>
Also Allentown, Atwood, Polish Hill and Friendship areas??<br>
<br>
And what happened to Birmingham? Also Woods run? And Nunnery Hill?<br>
<br>
We use to call the area around Forbes and Braddock: 'Frick Park'.<br>
<br>
Wonder how much the city paid a well connected consultant to come up with this map. Should have consulted a PRC system map.<br>
