Cool info. I was born and raised in Pittsburgh. I lived in an area called McKees Rocks for a time. There is also a town called McKeesport near Pittsburgh. I wonder if they are all connected?

I was also born and raised in Pittsburgh. Born Homestead Hospital. I remember McKeesport. I also remember Glassport. I dont know the connection. There were many glass factories in the area. Easy access to coal and right on the river. Most of the glass factories in the area are closing. I will post more info.
