Loew's Penn Theater (now Heinz Hall) is on Sixth Street between Penn and
Liberty.

Me again.  I'm looking at a negative of a 22 CROSSTOWN car turning left off
a single track street into an unidentified street (all I can see of street
sign is the "ST" part, also a curve right and of course a track straight
ahead.  Behind the car is the Leow's Penn Theater (Clark Gable movie if
anyone cares), behind is a line of PCCs the first of which is a 94
SHARPSBURG.

I'm guessing the 22 car is westbound on Penn at 6th and turning TOWARD the
center of town but why would a 22 car be there - didn't they come straight
in over 6th St?  This one would have had to come from the north side via
either 7th or 9th St to be making this turn.  there are other photos taken
on 6th ST between Fort Duquesne and Penn on the same day, no track work to
cause a diversion.  Date is August 2, 1947, a Friday.

Confirmation?  Suggestions?
