1/ Much of the Monongahela Hotel staff was Black & they’re legendary for spiriting away slaves brought by their enslavers who came north on business. Imagine the bravery that overcame this 14 yr old’s fear & enabled her to escape into the care of strangers.
@OddPittsburgh The cheesy Pittsburgh location quotes made it absolutely cringeworthy
@OddPittsburgh Used our rowing community Bay/channel Area for his boat house in movie. Would row past in hopes of seeing him 😉
@OddPittsburgh @SBMadagucciIII Yes. That's it. I thought it was Michael Keaton but it was actually Ray Liota.
Remake Striking Distance but have Tom Hardy play a Pittsburgh river patrol police officer named Bruce Willis
A 38yr old Bruce Willis stars as Tom Hardy, a police officer demoted to river patrol with the #Pittsburgh Police Department in the 1993 movie “Striking Distance.”
@SBMadagucciIII @OddPittsburgh There is also another movie that I cannot remember the name that Michael Keaton was in about a young resident doctor who was trying to finish school at the same time as taking care of his disabled brother who worked for the city garbage disposal. It was a very sweet movie.
@KathrynStrassel @OddPittsburgh What I think is really cool about Pittsburgh is we are so unaccustomed to movies being filmed here that if you put in the smallest amount of effort, you can be a side actor in like 4 high profile things a year. I'm just a fat drunk, and I've been in like 9 of them.
@OddPittsburgh I didn’t know about this one until now! I’ll be watching it later tonight. Thanks for the heads up. ✌🏻
Hey @OddPittsburgh check this out!

@OddPittsburgh and 60 years later there were 500,000 of them
"In 1947, Allegheny County had 247,000 autos; in 1958 over 500,000, or one car for every three residents." How many now?
