Time Travel With Tim
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 24 มิ.ย. 2017
The places we live, the places we travel change from year-to-year, even from day-to-day! One day we drive down the road by a woods where we have to watch for deer running out in front of us and the next week along the same stretch of road there's a new street coming out of a new housing development and we have to lookout for a minivan with a family pulling out in the same place. This has gone on throughout time. Only with the advent of photography have we been really able to document the changes in the world we live in. I hope these videos can help you to see your world as it once was - as your parents, grandparents, and great grandparents saw it. They are about the people as much as the places. People who have the same needs, hopes, and dreams that we have - that people have always had.

Watching a cool video of a streetcar ride through the Fineview neighborhood of Pittsburgh enticed me to purchase the West End edition of the series on Amazon. It's called STEEL CITY TRACTION 2 - West End Story. It's published by Transit Gloria Mundi and has some good narration to go along with the video describing each route. It has Carnegie, Heidelberg, Crafton, Ingram, Island Ave., West Park,...

This final McKees Rocks installment takes us back to see some of the buildings that had to be removed when the McKees Rocks Bridge was built. It includes some historical background to the Pressed Steel Car Strike of 1909 and the ferry accident that spurred the building of the bridge which opened on August 19, 1931.

What? "The first automobile tunnel in the United States?" A different kind of video for Time Travels but when I first saw this meme I didn't know why I'd never heard it before. It didn't take much research to refute it but by now it's been shared thousands of times. Though it was an engineering marvel for its time, technically it might be judged as "the first automobile tunnel built with a buil...

I may be impartial but pt 4 is my favorite just music alone @ the end was freakin awesome my friend!!!
Like I said in pt 1 122 Bailey Ave we had 65 steps to get up to our apartment but my goodness the view was amazing and worth every step
Have you done Boggs&Bailey yet??? Used to live @ 122 Bailey Ave the yr of 97/98 survived the damn tornado and everything it loopdylooped right around our building across from an old guy Italian bar Serrinsetti’s I believe and a 1/2 block down from La Travolta Italiana and Pittsburgh Reptiles. Gosh I’m being flooded w/memories!!! I was 18 then & 45 now, feels like last 😂
I still have my leftover incline tokens which I used to ride down the hill and hop on the T & hightail my butt to work then school
www.youtube.com/@TimeTravelWithTim/videos
My old stomping grounds. I miss it !!!!!!
This is fantastic !!!! I was a teenager in the 70's in Ingram. SO COOL !!!!!!!
I never realized just how ugly my region is. Human termites ruin everything thats nice so theres no use for me to even wish to return to some semblance of greatness. 💔 Can you imagine cleaning grafitti off those beautiful textured block arch bridges & tunnels, and sweeping dirty diapers, syringes, chicken bones, candy wrappers, and shell casings from brick & cobblestone roads? So weird to enjoy this video & seeing these amazing skeletons of what was, while simulataneously being disusted, mad, and sad at the same time.
Excellent job!!
That was great! I am from Jeannette Pa born and bred. I have family in Homewood, Jeannette, Greensburg and Uniontown.
For the 100s of times I drove through that tunnel, I never knew it had been a cut-and-cover. Thanks. You earned yourself a subscriber with this deep dive into something most people just ignore.
Are these the same type of streetcars that were in Lakemont/Altoona, PA right around the same time period?
I really couldn't tell ya', but maybe some folks here would know? facebook.com/groups/1556879087830865
Thanks for all your time and hard work producing these amazing videos. Does anyone know where the large stones at approx. 32:10 came from? Between 38-39mm I believe.
I would post the video link with that time stamp to the Montour Trail Facebook page to see if one of the Friends of the Trail in that area who was around when the ROW was renovated for the trail might be able to tell you. OR, go to montourtrail.org and find the contact info for the South Park Friends and ask them.
And the city is changing again. The decline which began in the 1960s and accelerated when manufacturing died 20 years later has accelerated again thanks to the Covid pandemic and the rise of work from home. What's left of Mellon Bank plans to completely abandon the BNY Building.
My daughter attends Dusquene University. Pittsburgh is a wonderful place for her. We enjoy getting out there to visit her and explore the area.
Fascinating information. I remember in 1st grade doing a Field Trip to Fort Pitt Museum. I have a small black cannon, which has always been with me all these years. It's in my living right now, sitting in a Bookcase.
Very interesting and enjoyed the then and now format. Some periodic map overlay might be useful. But thanks!
Hi Tim , Just wanted to let you know that I was thinking about you . I hope every thing is well for you !
Doin' "O.K." Thanks!
Excellent Time Travel Experience!!! Congratulations to you Tim for this wonderful work.
That was AWSOME. I need to watch the others and see if you talk about the junkyards on Creek rd!
there was more housing in the 1900s than today. sad. 🍻
awesome video and editing. i enjoy this trail at least monthly year round. many great memories.🍻🍻🍻
i drove my vw over the quicksliver bridge when it was 1st constructed😂🍻
so much history gone. it was a mound before the forts. still not convinced that block house wasnt rebuilt at some point.🍻
I have the fondest memories of Sheridan while growing up. I lived at the corner of Hammond, Stafford and Narcissis, Glen Mawr, next to Krobots and finally off to the wilds of Robinson Twp.....COWS! I was serenaded to sleep by the trains, awakened by the work whistles on Brunots Island and all the other joys of being a young boy totally immersed in the American dream. But, like that song,The Boys of Summer says, don't look back, you can never go back. 20 years ago I made the mistake of cruising the old neighborhood. Thank God for CWP's......don't look back, you can NEVER go back.....😿
This was a very special video. I was enamored with the photos of the old photos. There were a few that I saw with my friend who got them from a friend who borrowed them from the McKees Rocks Gazette. Like I said I love old historical photos and want to see all of your videos. All The Best. Rich Campbell. I saw quite a few of the photographs from the McKees Rocks Historical Society's Facebook site. I went through all of them. There was another photo that I saw in the Carnegie Library site that is from the Munson Avenue street & George Alley, looking toward Pittsburgh.
Very Good
Some pretty famous movies have used the highway to nowhere. Dogma jumps to mind
I didn't know that! I'm curious about others . . .
Living in Southwest Florida, all I can say is if these drivers here had to drive our roads it would be a Quentin Tarantino movie. Our roads make great drivers...or else lol
thanks for the memories
This is a brilliant work! Superb blend of history & present. Great research. In 1910 my grandfather worked at the steel railroad car company & my mother was born just outside the Easterb town limits in 1911. I now have a much better sense of what McKees Rocks was like then, far better than any book. Many thanks.😀😀😀😀😀 😀

Thanks Tim! I love these videos and what an historic record. Makes me think just how "short" one hundred years is a city like Pittsburgh! Appears most of the houses are still standing in one form or another. The vintage pics are priceless.
And this kids is how we got our 6 superbowls
Really great job and video. Thanks for taking me back.
Thanks for another great video, as always!
Excellent, well done. Keep up the good work.
I love your videos!
Excellent video and editing as always.
Tim, interesting content but you totally lost me around 19:00 - you just started driving on random roads with no explanation as to why. And that "music" ... where the hell did you find that?? Around 23:15 I felt like I was in some hippie's acid trip. No bueno. No idea why people feel a need to include dopey background noise (it really doesn't qualify as music).
"Random roads?" Every road is clearly identified. 19:06 says "Laclede." Before that I explain that I'm on the old ROW from Bailey to Kathleen. Go back and watch it again. If you're lost google a map if you're not familiar. Here: www.arcgis.com/apps/View/index.html?appid=63f24d1466f24695bf9dfc5bf6828126 As far as music, my older videos use commercial music and Facebook alerts me to copyright issues that if the channel were ever monetized (it's not - I get no money from it - just trying to share old pics free of BS) any money from those vids would go to the music companies. So I spend lots of time searching through copyright free music looking for something that "might" fit. Sometimes it's just throwing darts. And then I try to turn it down in the vid. If ya' don't like it, turn down your volume. I ain't Martin Scorsese, ya' know.
This may be your best Pittsburgh video yet, Tim - so much detail!
LOL! Thanks!!! Now how do I top it?
Your videos are so interesting!! Been gone from Pittsburgh many years but your videos bring me back there more than anything else. Thank you so much. Greatly appreciated!
As a junkie I spent a TON of time inside of many of the buildings u see abandoned and in disrepair throughout the years. What's crazy is in many of my drug induced comas I would find myself looking at these now broken building and thinking(much like myself) at one time this building was new...it was once the pride of someone's existence...and now it's just a hollowed out,run down pile of nothing most people try to just ignore and would rather just go away
Profound!!!
Great video as always.
According to my maternal grandfather's Selective Service registration card, he worked at the Singer-Nimick Mill in 1918. From 11:20 to 12:30 in the video, you have a number of images of the Singer-Nimick complex during that time period. What source did you use to find these?
Hi Rick, I think I copied those at historicpittsburgh.org since they are from the Pittsburgh City Photographer Collection. When you have a free evening (it's a time warp) go to historicpittsburgh.org and do a search for Carson St (or maybe the name of one of the mills). Then narrow the search to images and the Pittsburgh City Photographer Collection. You'll still get a couple of hundred of images to sort through. Hope that helps!
@@TimeTravelWithTim Just did some searching at the site. Thanks for your help. Much appreciated. Really fascinating to see where my grandfather worked at that time. Wonder when that mill closed down (had to be before 1931 since other photos show a vacant lot at that site by that time).
I love your videos; thank you for all the effort you put in to make these!.... My father (DOD in 2010) was born at 2441 Sorrel Street in 1925, and my mother on East Street in 1928. (DOD in January 2024). I love seeing Pittsburgh as it was in those days.
love your match ups and obvious time you put into your videos..... was just about to mention the rte 66 episode with the clip from the incline but your thoroughness beat me to it. great stuff man.
Thanks! I had almost the whole timeline set up when I was reminded of that episode. Thankfully, it was on TH-cam. There aren't many "contemporary" films of those inclines that have bit the dust. I get a kick out of the fact that the leave the Hilton hotel and come down Arlington. Then after the incline ride they go to the LeMont. I'd rather drive that 'Vette up Sycamore! LOL!
@@TimeTravelWithTim that is crazy as well as how they ended up in Pittsburgh from rte 66.... that episode also shows the first Renaissance well. we were in the I guess "Hilton" hotel on the top floor and got into the end meeting room I think where they look out over the point. sad there's not a lot of footage but you're doing your part documenting.
another great video, thanks Tim.
Tim , I am sorry to learn of your Wife's passing . God Bless her soul . I admire the quality of your videos . Fine Job . Also , I worked as a Chef for a fella named Joe Scandelli in Moon Township as he was a Chef for Tambellini's many years ago .
Thank you, Ray. Scandelli doesn't ring a bell. Was he definitely at Louis' on Southern Ave. in Mt. Washington? Kelly was the chef there when Chris and I worked there.
Tim, I really enjoyed your excellent presentation. I travel Campbells Run Road often but never knew its history -- very interesting! Thank You!
This is so awesome! I grew up in Crafton. It was so cool seeing the neighborhood! I found your page looking for video on the west end circle. Thank you for the memories!!!
Glad you liked it! Did you find the video of the West End Bridge and surrounding areas?
@@TimeTravelWithTim yes. Very nice. Thank you
