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(?)

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)

>>Hello all, The caption reads that this area is "South 22nd at Wrights Way....South ide." I believe this is a side street between Fifth and Forbes Ave. And since the caption states that the photo is from 1963, if that is accurate, weren't the 77/54 cars banned from the Brady Street Bridge by 1962? http://www.liquala.com/pcc-229.html        Matt
