Remember now, Mark, there are some neighborhoods that you really don't want
to enter without the 82nd Airborne Division in your car for protection. A
lot of places that I used to be taken as a boy that were quite OK then but
are not today ... Braddock, Rankin, North Braddock, Wilkinsburg, Homewood,
Brushton, parts of East Liberty, even parts of the North Side. Basically,
follow the Pennsylvania Railroad to the east ... those were the older and
now decaying neighborhoods.
