Lived on *Greenmount__Ave.* in Dormont in Pizzaburger from latter 1940s through early
1960s in the 1400 block but the *other* block also had a street sign for
*Greenmont--Avenue* --- without the "U"(:->)

Isn't there one on Charleroi -- McChain vs. McChane, or is that a slur of
*McClain--McClane??*(:->) And what about *Seybold--vs--Seybolts* just before
*McChain--vs--McChane.* .......And *Berkhamer* vs *Birkhammer* and
*Lattner--vs--Latta* near Roscoe!! And *Deices--vs--Dices.*
