[PRCo] KDKA Pitt Parade

[Barry, Matthew R]

Do you guys remember when KDKA-TV (if you lived in Pittsburgh during the
80's and 90's) used to re-run their old Pitt Parade films from the
1950's?   I looked forward to these as invariably, there would be a
Pittsburgh Railways street scene, in the background, or sometimes as
part of the story.  I recall one Pitt Parade in particular that showed a
scene of PCCs packed into Craft Avenue House, seemingly right up to the
curbs on Forbes Avenue, as there was a Pittsburgh Railways strike in
progress.
 

Here's one Pitt Parade film that was on youtube.  It has the usual
opening which featured a PCC in the snow.
