[Edward H. Lybarger]

Route 33 went around the West End and up Woodruff Street.  It did not pass

Junction = South Hills Junction?

Of course 40 went to SHJ.  But 33?  Didn't it terminate on Mt. Washington?
Or did it originally also go to SHJ?

Just wondering.  And the picture brings back some high school memories.
Thanks, Bob.
