How Pittsburgh got 90 neighborhoods, Mt. Oliver’s independence, and Downtown lions

Katie Blackley
/
90.5 WESA

Our third episode revisits stories about why Pittsburgh looks the way it does. It goes into why we have 90 distinct neighborhoods, and talks about annexation (or a lack thereof in Mt. Oliver borough’s case). Plus, we look at a fun architectural feature on one of our most historic downtown streets.
