Before the US Steel Bldg, before PPG Place. Before 3 Rivers Stadium. The steel mills were still operating and the Civic Arena was a point of Pittsburgh Pride!

  • 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.

  • Awesome music. What is it?

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

  • 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!!

  • Fort Pitt!

  • 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.
