I spent my Sunday mornings, whether I liked it or not, in Mellon's  
Stairway to Heaven in East Liberty.  I have some other memories of  
that subset of Pittsburgh.   Remember the Pennsy station?   And about  
two or three blocks west of Highland on the south side of Penn Avenue  
was a small model railroad shop ... used to buy Strombecker wooden  
models in there.   I'm going back to the days before Monroeville when  
people went to S'Liberty or Wilkinsburg to shop.  Remember the big  
Sears Roebuck store on Highland Avenue?   I'm told there were also  
seven movie theaters in East Liberty.
