Mexican War Streets (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania)
Joe recommends this site: “If you’ll be in Pittsburgh around Halloween, there’s a guided tour of the Mexican War Streets that’s supposed to be really good. The town is known for it’s turn-of-the-century lore; Carnegie, Westinghouse, etc. Apparently, a lot of the well-to-do had some interesting stories, i.e. murder, suicide, affairs, and the like. The shame of it is is that it is a beautiful part of town, but the surrounding area has taken a turn for the worse. My ex-roommate’s sister & brother-in-law live there now. Do NOT travel there by yourself at night!!! There’s a park across the street that’s known for its rapes, murders, & drugs.”
Your remarks about the neighborhood being dangerous are laughable. Get your facts straight. I’m a resident of the War Streets and have never felt unsafe. Maybe try getting your info from a more direct source than your ex-roommate’s sister and brother-in-law.
I quoted someone who sent me the information, hence the quotation marks. Those aren’t my words and I’m not one to judge neighborhoods.
