An ad from the September 3, 1946 Pittsburgh Press advertising the opening of the Pittsburgh Drive-In. This was located on Route 22 where Lowes is today. It was open from 1946 until the end of the 1959 season, when it was closed to make way for Kaufmann's.

The Monroeville Mall is 52 years old today.

Charles J. Vitous Sr. constructed his home at 865 8th Street, Trafford, around 1915. It was built into the side of the hill and overlooked the Blackburn Wye (to...day known as the B.Y. Park). Vitous took a photo of the B.Y. that illustrates a steam engine heading toward Trafford with the Turtle Creek stream to the right of the tracks, the B.Y. pond on the left of the tracks, and several 8th Street homes at the top of the photo. The Vitous home, marked with the arrow, was razed in the early 1970s. #52ancestors See more
