It is interesting to see the old pictures from down in Braddock. My grandparents lived on Ardmore Manor on the other side of the hill; you would go up Yost, then drop down the other side into the lovely boro(?) of Braddock. Even when I was younger I remember it being a scary place. It is is sad to drive down through there today and see nothing but abandoned buildings...
I never got to shoot the old purple Ward from #3, but I did get a shot of the ex. Evans City Ward they ran until they got the Kenworth from Normalville. Also, they ran the old Salvage/Squad from Blythedale for a short time, still painted bright orange. They were always a strange group down there.
The East Boro's area is a neat place to shoot with a mixture of old and new.
