This doesn't qualify but, driving east along Bailey Avenue on Mount 
Washington and bending downhill on Beltzhoover Avenue, it looks 
for all the world (or did so a year and a half ago) as if the pavement 
were patched along the lines of former streetcar rails. Problem is, 
there was never, ever, a streetcar line along this section of 
Beltzhoover.

I've mentioned this oddity to various Pittsburghers on this list, but 
they don't really take me seriously.
