Greetings

The Pgh Burlesque House on Forbes Ave (Diamond St) was in a circuit
that included Baltimore (East Baltimore Street), Cleveland and Buffalo.
I went to each with groups of National Guardsmen.  Acts played a week
at each.  There were others in the circuit but I dont know where.

Forbes Ave 60 series routes operated on Diamond St downtown and
passed under the Market house.  There was a Murphy 5 and 10 store
at Market Sq.  A good store.  Their mainoffice was in McKeesport.
