There is a paperback by Brian Butko about Isaly's... a decent book, tells
the story well of how they fell off the top. Some pictures of some of
their storefronts around the area.

Not Pittsburgh-specific: Isaly's was scattered about Ohio and PA.
Certainly some along carlines, the one in Braddock which closed in 1987
(according to the book) is still on Braddock Avenue... the roof has
obviously caved in. But, nothing really about the car lines in the book.
