See also "Polish Hill".

If one were with finding discrimination it might be possible to construe 
things as such on the basis of where had rail service and where didn't, and 
in the later days of where the buses went; I don't know when air 
conditioning made its debut but I'd guess during the PRCo days, well before 
PAT bought the 55 Duewags for the "via Beechview" service... or the rebuild 
of was it 4006? I always forget which.
