More on … Canton Ave. in Beechview

February 28, 2006 Natalia 7 Comments

Thanks to a reader for pointing us to this PG article about Canton Ave. in Beechview. Turns out we might have a world record in our midst! Here: In Beechview Sunday, January 30, 2005 Photos by Martha Rial ~ Story by Bob Batz Jr. Despite the twin “Do Not Enter” signs at its midpoint, Canton Avenue isn’t a one-way street. It’s a no-way street. No way you’re going to drive up it. Not this time of year, when it’s covered with ice and snow. This Beechview byway is way too steep — even to plow. It’s the steepest street in… Read the rest

Get your PÄ…czki soon!

February 25, 2006 Natalia 3 Comments

Beechview – Seldom Seen Greenway

December 30, 2005 Natalia 14 Comments

The Seldom Seen Greenway is home to over 90 acres of undeveloped land in the city of Pittsburgh. It’s located off Route 51, near Saw Mill Run Boulevard. It is directly across the street from Brashear High School – right below Beechview and Mt. Washington. Seldom Seen was actually a small village annexed by the city of Pittsburgh in 1924, and until the 1960s, the area was populated by a few families and farmhouses; families raised their own chickens and canned their own fruit. As people slowly moved out, the area escaped development. The forest has been virtually left untouched… Read the rest
