Can you recycle a bridge? In 1927, the Sixth Street Bridge in Downtown Pittsburgh was disassembled & floated down the Ohio River between Coraopolis & Neville Island. It was ultimately blown up & replaced in 1995. 💥🌉 @rickaroundhere has the story! #TuesdayTimeMachine

It's Pittsburgh bread with a "twist!" At their original home in McKees Rocks, @mancinisbakery bakes more than 10,000 loaves/day using the same old-world techniques from 1926. @rickaroundhere gives us a "slice" of that history in this week's tasty #TuesdayTimeMachine! 🖤💛🍞🥖

If you're from Braddock, PA, you might have heard of General Edward Braddock. This week's #TuesdayTimeMachine has @rickaroundhere wondering why all the fuss... and why so many things around here bear his name. 🤔

Pittsburgh's tallest building, the 841-foot U.S. Steel Tower (aka U.S. Steel Building/USX Tower) is shaped like a triangle & for 30 years, the TOP OF THE TRIANGLE restaurant occupied the 62nd floor. @rickaroundhere takes in the unforgettable view! #TuesdayTimeMachine!

In 1891 the City of @Pittsburgh lost its "H." For nearly two decades we were "Pittsburg." Why did we lose it? And how did we get it back? @rickaroundhere gets to the bottom of this 🖤💛 mystery in this week's #TuesdayTimeMachine!

Evergreen Hamlet is a historic district in Ross Township, founded in 1851. Not only is it on the National Register of Historic Places, but as @rickaroundhere found out... it may in fact be AMERICA'S FIRST SUBURB! Who remembers the Evergreen Hotel?🖤💛 #TuesdayTimeMachine

The dictionary says a confluence is "the flowing together of 2 or more streams or rivers." @rickaroundhere looks at how our area is blessed with plenty of water that comes together w/ other water & makes living here more pleasant, plentiful & picturesque. 🌊 #TuesdayTimeMachine
