I don't even think the ones close to the city were far off one until after
trolley lines were mostly gone. Forbes Regional (East Suburban) in
Monroeville, Jefferson, basically the hospitals with the large non-urban
campuses, and not really others. I guess Jeanette District Memorial isn't
near the old West Penn line, but then, I have no idea if that's their
original location, either, or how long they've been around. 

I guess this is sort of a no-brainer generally when you look at
development patterns around this area. Well, mostly, anyhow.
