I took pictures from the Ft. Pitt bridge of the stadium being built. I did NOT go to see it brought down (too cold!) and I'm sorry I didn't go!

I'm reading a book about the rackets and mobs/mafia in New Kensington. Just found out there was an airport just behind Tarentum (a newspaper has their headquarters there now) and the airport was where arms were flown out and sent to Cuba in the fights with Fidel!

I was SO naive!!!!

Oh, and in 1964 the Rolling Stones played at West View Park - a big amusement park that was serious competition for Kennywood!
