But speaking of good old Pittsburgh Irish. DD do you know the Mechanics Street Bridge which was renamed the 16th Street and I think recently the McCullough? Got some info from a cousin today indictating that third grandfather was an investor in the company that built it way back when. And I remember you mentioning that you had ties to Mayo in the old country. Apparently tons of Mayo-Galway people went to Pittsburgh. Another big spot was Portland, Maine which I think could pass for Western Ireland.

Yes, I remember the Mechanics Street Bridge. Connects Chestnut Street on the North Side to the Strip District.
