Street Names
From Carrick-Overbrook Historical Society
Contents
- 1 When Carrick Borough became the 29th Ward of the City of Pittsburgh, many streets had similar names as those in the City of Pittsburgh. Being the new 29th Ward, Carrick had to change THEIR street names. This is a list of the streets which were changed. Those streets not listed were not changed
- 2 This was the PowerPoint Show, now done on YouTube, which was presented to the students at Carmalt Elementary School in Brookline, in December, 2010 for their neighborhood history day. Several people to whom I sent this to suggested that the members of the Carrick Listserv may enjoy watching it as well.
- 3 If any organization or school wants to have this presentation done again let us at the Carrick-Overbrook Historical Society know. Carol Anthony also did a presentation on Overbrook history.
- 4 Since I didn't narrate it on YouTube and it is self explanatory, the music is a nice background to this history lesson.
- 5 Enjoy.
