re: #106 Eventual Carrion
Was Uncle Sams there off Forbes on Oakland Ave at that time? I worked for UPMC in Forbes tower (only a couple days a week when I had to go down to Pittsburgh, most days I worked from home). Uncle Sams was the next block down, they had real good hoagies.
I think Uncle Sam’s opened while I was there, or a year or two afterwards. The Primanti’s in Oakland appeared as well next to King’s Court about that time as well IIRC. The “O” enlarged it’s footprint three times in 5 years too.
There was a little White Castle on the corner of Bouquet and Forbes when I was a freshman, but it was gone by ‘84. Place was about 20’ x 20’ — but sliders!
