What a fantastic rendezvous to the past you just gave us all Harold! Yes,
I do remember some of the landmarks you mentioned because they were still
around when I was growing up. I grew up in Mt. Lebanon 1 block from Dormont
so I remember the Hollywood, South Hills, and Denis theaters. My mother grew
up on the North Side and went to Perry High School. She told me many stories
about West View Park. If I could go back to the past I would ride the 21, 28,
56, 87, 10 or 15, and the 62 lines in that order after I took my excursions
on the Charleroi and Washington interurbans. It really helps
to have friendly and very knowledgeable people that go out of their way to
take some of us on tours. Thanks to Fred III and Tom Phillips I was able to
do just that last June. And thanks for leaving your number Harold as I will
definately like to give you a call to talk personally. 973 area code. Is that
here in Florida by any chance? Talk to ya soon!
