    I remember going through the Squirrel Hill tunnel and a "head shop" from the early 70's called "Heads Together".

      HT was a frequent after-school stop for myself and friends; great music store and friendly ownership.

    Thank you for this opportunity to revisit a place very near to me. Though I’ve been in California for twenty years now, Pittsburgh/Sq. Hill are in my DNA.

    Henry Clay Frick's home was in Point Breeze not Sq. Hill. Clayton still stands and is open to public tours. Many of the wealthy had mansions in Point Breeze, just north and east of Sq. Hill.

    The picture on the thumbnail and at 10:48 is of central Oakland (when the Cicero's owned a lot of property there), not Squirrel Hill. (Note the Strand Bowling Alley.) As a ;lifelong (76 year) Pittsburgh resident, I am always irritated by narrators who don't know how to pronounce "Carnegie.." The people of Dunfirmline, Scotland would emphasize the second syllable (as do true Pittsburghers), not the first syllable (as do Irish-influenced New Yorkers).

      It must be rough to be triggered by historical fact. . . .Bowers (the shooter) himself acknowledged the political and social context which influenced his ideology and his actions. As a lifelong Squirrel Hill resident, I can attest that this heinous act was, and still is, a tragic milepost that looms over the community.

    The picture of President Trump with the words "hate" and "extremism" enblazened next to him was a low blow. President Trump was/is a supporter of the Jewish community and Israel.
