[PRCo] PTM meeting in Oakland

[Derrick J Brashear]

Was tonight. I've been a slacker and not in my office much this week (but
I have an excuse; 2 ER visits and a doctor visit between my wife and I in
the last 5 days, and I've been working from home) but I did drag my sad
carcass in for this.

As Bob pointed out, homecoming weekend, so not shockingly Pitt had Bigelow
Blvd closed. (Or, as I like to say, since today ends in "y", ...)

Anyhow, George put on a fine program, and while there wasn't much at the
CMU end of Oakland there were a few shots from before the Forbes Avenue
bridge was in place showing the old trolley trestle into what's now
Schenley Park and a few spots in the park. One that George was unable to
pinpoint was suggested to be behind Phipps by Henry Posner after the
meeting (the site of a trolley station) and I think at some point I'm
going to walk over and look.

Requisite shots of Duquesne Gardens, Craft Avenue carhouse, and other
Oakland sites, many before they looked at all like they look now.
