re: #9 HappyWarrior

Does Hamlin Street or Lawrenceville mean anything to you? That’s where my Irish relations lived in Pittsburgh. My Dad’s mom grew up there which and I checked it yesterday was not far from what became Three Rivers Stadium. I’ve got tons of relatives on that side buried in the old St. Mary’s Cemetery.

Vaguely remember a Hamlin Street, but it’s one of those we didn’t live on (we had trouble paying rent). Lawrenceville is inside the Triangle, directly across the Alleghany from the North Side, a bit upstream from the three bridges now named for Clemente, Warhol, and Rachael Carson. It was industrial working class in the 50s, fashionably regentrified now.
