[PRCo] Penn at Friendship

[Matt Barry]

Went through the dementia.org list and am glad I did.   I had missed 
these two great historical (I would imagine Roberta - thanx Ken) 
photographs of the Penn Avenue at Friendship Ave./45th Street area in 
the 1960's.    I grew up in the area and rode the 88 route cars a great 
deal in the early 60's.

PAT011 shows the area before the demolition of small businesses and 
homes to make way for St. Francis Hospital's big parking/medical offices 
complex, and PAT010 was taken after the demolition.   

NOW, the new parking and medical office complex has been demolished (as 
well as the big brick Nursing school shown in PAT010) to make way for 
whatever UPMC/Children's is constructing, since St. Francis went out of 
business.
