Greetings

A beautiful photo of a interesting part of the Pgh area.

John and Bill..thanks for sharing.

This intersection was important to me.  My first 90mm AAA Gun site was just up
the hill and later, I was at the Oakdale Nike site further out  In the 1950's
there was a major parachute drop down onto the large Woodville farm
along this road for armed forces day.  Quite a sight.

We used to stop here after drill for a beer.

The Community Transit (ex Penn Bus) used to compete with PRC operating
to downtown via Noblestown Road (no Crafton) and then the Parkway West
when it opened.   Now PAT 31/33 D&E

I liked the PRC route thru Glendale to Carnegie,

Montour Motor Coach's Oakdale route made its first stop looping
thru the Woodville grounds.

Woodville was a major institution that did  a lot of good.  Better than
today puting these paople on the street as homeless.
