Greetings to all

We need several beer signs (and I am not a beer drinker)

Try Duquense, Iron City and Fort Pitt.   And may be Old Frothingslosh.
This could be tied to several photos of Rege Cordic and the Cordic car
All part of Pittsburgh's heritage.

Biff F's father was a long time doctor on Butler St.

Penn Ave and Liberty Ave carried some of Pittsburgh's heavist trolley routes.

When I came out to Pgh for an interview for Montour Motor Coach in 1950, I
went to the owner's garage and warehouse (Harrison & Shields) at 36th Street
and Allegheny Valley RR (PRR)

The Harmony's Pgh Division garage was at 29th & Liberty.   That
building is still here between Liberty and the railroad.

In the 1960's Trailways moved to a garage & office off Butler Street
at 35th Street

Lots of transportation history here.  I believe that the man who owns the
Oakmont-New Kensington Rail line would terminate trains here..

Is the S Foster house and museum on Penn near here?  Or is it Liberty?

Once again many Pittsburgh memories.
