[PRCo] Re: 77/54 Location

[John Swindler]

Picture not on South 22nd St. at Wright's Way on Southside.   The only thing 
south about this picture is that the car is facing south.    That's Fifth 
Ave. in the background, and the photographer is near Forbes.  There were two 
one-way streets with car tracks - one was Jumonville, I think.  Is this on 
Jumonville between Fifth and Forbes, or Gist(?)

I don't see a PAT sticker on side of PCC car, so probably PRC era shot.  
When PCC cars banned on Brady St. bridge, 77/54 continued to operate 
northside to this location.  Shuttle bus, as seen to left, provided service 
over Brady St. bridge to southside.  Don't know if shuttle bus connected 
with 53 Carrick at S. 18th St. or if shuttle bus went up S. 18th St. towards 
Carrick?????  (I'd guess the former, but should not guess in these matters)
