I grew up within a few miles from the site. The neighborhood adjacent is known as the Westinghouse Plan. It was concieved by Mr.W and was a “planed community for egineers and professionals. The streets are laid out with names like Ave. A, Ave.B....and so forth. A walk down the hillside would bring one to US Route 30 (Penn-Lincoln Memorial Hy) which had a trolley line that would go to the door of the Westinghouse Electrical Plant in East Pittsburgh which produced electrical generators for power production. The area is really rich with industrial firsts and I hope they find a home for the “Atom Smasher” It was a great place to grow up!
