[PRCo] Old Allegheny

[Fred Schneider]

There is a saying that a little learning is a dangerous thing and I  
fell into the trap.

I'm guilty.

There were four (4) Diamond streets in Allegheny, East Diamond, North  
Diamond, West Diamond, South Diamond.   They formed the perimeters of  
the park-like square that surrounded the city hall, post office,  
market, and the space where the Buhl Planitarium is today.   Federal  
and Ohio streets crossed right in the middle.  So, North Diamond and  
South Diamond crossed Federal; East Diamond and West Diamond crossed  
Ohio.

Learn something new every day.

I also apologize for twice misspelling Derrick's ancestor's name two  
different ways.   Sorry Mr. Brashear.

By the way,there is a picture ofJohn Brashear's home and optical  
goods factory on page 171 of the book.
