Pittsburgh Theatres

By Jay Smith

A review of a Pittsburgh phone book from 1950 reveals a long list of theatres around Pittsburgh and their addresses.  I thought someone might like to ride around and see what is now at the addresses.  Almost all of these theatres would have had a pipe organ of some kind installed at one point in their history.
