Awesome city with awesome history. I can't say anything bad about it, other than it's professional sports teams! But really...I love it there.

Awesome! Music too. A little before I was born but I can relate. From the Mon Valley.

@DankMcstankey They've been parking on the Mon Wharf since cars came out. You can find pics from 100 years ago with parking there.

@deshy88umkc They were razed because the were in the way of the planned fountain. The Point looks much better without them.

The song is "Because you're you" Track 4 on 'The album of Victor Herbert' songs by artist Percy Faith and his orchestra. $5.99 on Itunes. Go Stillers!!

Hello Tcomden! What happened to the bridges that converged at The Point? Why did they knock them down? Also, outside Heinz Field is a Mr. Rogers statue. Isn't his statue under the support beam of one of the old bridges which converged at The Point?

I see that crappy Mon warf parking.

tc... great video... Homestead was a bit "smokey" in '65

What a great job capturing the footage of Pittsburgh during the 60's. Thank you.

I grew up in Pittsburgh. I would rather have grown up in many other cities. I hate the place.
Tcomdon, what is the music in the video, it is beautiful, who is it by, what is the name of the composer. Reminds me of better times.

I can't help you much. It was an easy listening album I owned in 1965 - somebody playing the music of Victor Herbert. I would play that album every time I showed the film, to cover up the sound of the projector. When I transferred the film to VHS - in the early 80s, I still had the album. I don't have it now and don't remember who it was by.

Victor Herbert. He was the first director of the Pgh. symphony.
