Seeing the top photo in Google’s new archive of LIFE magazine images prompted me to go searching Flickr for a recent shot of the Pittsburgh skyline. While surfing, I found an image from 1964 as well.
So this is the Pittsburgh of my parents’ youth, the Pittsburgh of my youth, and Pittsburgh today.
Click on the middle image for comments that talk about the various bridges that served the area now encompassed by Point State Park.
