- Vintage photos of streets in the Elliott neighborhood of the city of Pittsburgh - many over 100 years old. There are a couple of Crafton Heights and City Acres (Sheraden) streets thrown in for good measure.

Oakwood?
Thank you, Tim. This was a journey through my youth. I lived in this area and it was my stomping ground until I left at age 19 to get married.
The " Anna Schultz Property " on Steuben St. was my family's home! This video means so much. I can't thank you enough.
Wow - makes it all worthwhile!!!
Great tour Tim. I lived in West End and Elliott from 1955 until 1966. I attended Thaddeus Stevens and remembered the burning down of St. Martins. This tour brought back many memories.
This is great! I was born on Crucible Street then my parents moved to Ringgold St.
This may be one of your best vids, since its personal as well. Lots of memories for me here. Mom, a Reynolds, lived on Walbridge St. near your home. She would have been 10 in 1958. Catholic as well. I spent time on Walbridge & West End Park w/relatives in the 70s & 80s.
Hi Tim , I was so happy to hear your voice . you do very interesting and well documented stories !
Thanks for your hard work in putting this together! My family grew up on Herschel and I have a photo of our home from the late 1800's. I'm sorry that didn't get the photo to you to include in this video. I really enjoy watching ALL of your videos.... thank you..
Thank you, Tim! Appreciate the journey back in time. Grew up in Elliott having lived on Steuben St. by the Pulaski Club and on Fairview Ave. from the early 60's until 1980. Live in Ohio now but every trip back home, I drive the neighborhood of Elliott. Lots of memories.
In 1968 I was riding the PAT bus near the top of the hill on Steuban St and saw a girl get off, presumably living in an apartment near the bus stop. She was the prettiest girl I ever saw in Pittsburgh.
Hey, Tim! You are, in fact, the boss of my sister and she gave me your business card! I just so happen to be a history loving Pittsburgher - so you have earned yourself a subscription! Thanks for preserving the history of this great city!
Thank you Tim We certainly walked the Hilly Streets in our childhood days I saw my Grandmother's house from a distance and a house we used to live in. Thank you for a good job as always
Really enjoyed this. Thanks Tim.
I lived at the top of Rue Grande Vue by the Cemetery for 22 years.
I live in Elliott I live on Valonia thanks a lot ❤❤ this is a time travel
Tim, great stuff ! Big fan of your channel! I've lived in 2 zip codes all my life. 15136 and 15204. Mckees Rocks and Sheraden. You've covered almost everything! Waiting for a video on sheraden. Coming soon?
Sheraden will "probably" happen soon. (Meaning, sometime in 2023 or early '24)
I'll try to get 'er done.

Thanks so much! My mother's family had lived in sheraden since the 1930s. I've got some pictures and lots of information and stories if you're ever looking. They/we lived on Jeffers street until the 1970s. I moved back to sheraden when I got married. Thanks again!
I love seeing the history of south western Pennsylvania. I grew up in Oakdale, so I am familiar with all the areas. I would really like to see a video about the military base in Oakdale and the Rennerdale/Carnegie area on Noblestown rd.
What a fascinating video of my old time Elliott streets! Thank you, Tim! Mary Anne Sabash Kirsch
Very cool! Thanks for dedicating the time to make this video. I really enjoyed watching it.
Excellent work as always!
I'm so glad I have found this article on of Pittsburgh. I've been busy reading about the Cumberland Road here in Indiana and the Ohio River too. Pittsburgh is, I believe, a place on the Cumberland Road and a location of boatbuilding for river passage of the Ohio River. I'm studying the Geodetic Surveys for the land parcels, which really does make reading a delight for me. I've always felt good at Church, but seeing our Community is more of a present moment than that of the past. I really enjoy having moments with the many who are a part of the Great Picture of Neighbors Being Neighbors.
Thank you Tim -- it was wonderful -- God the memories come flooding back
I am from this neighborhood that was really neat to see. All you videos are. Thank you.
Thanks for the views Tim, I enjoyed it very much.
Oh I grew up in Elliott when it was a safe place to live. Great memories. Would love to have a brick from Valonia St. before they tear it up like so many of the other streets.
Thank you for the video. Great hobby.
I always thought that was the West End. Thanks for the clarification and video.
The first couple minutes of Steuben are the West End leading to Elliott but, yes, many people newscasters especially!) consider everything from the Elliott to Esplen to Sheraden and Windgap "the West End."
Wonderful seeing this history of the west end territories, would you be open to doing a video on the crafton heights area?
I've not run across too many pictures of the Heights. I've got one old picture of Schaeffer Field from around the 1920s, but not much else.
Amazing!
My grandparents lived on Herrod street. Unfortunately the house they raised their 10 kids in burned a few years ago. They used to tell me about “Goat Hill” at the end of Werder. You used to be able to find arrow heads up there.
Nice video
I have enjoyed your videos. I grew up in Banksville. Do you happen to have any photos of Zeiler's store?
Sorry, I think I used every picture I have.
Best donuts everrrr
You should do an episode where you show all the cobblestone roads left.
What about Oakwood? Small neighborhood with interesting features like the old resivore, and the circle, the house with a tree growing thru it?
Thank you for posting these. Do you know much about northside near Marshall Ave. Oliver High School, and Sorrel Street?... I would love to know more about this. It's where my father was raised.
Sorry, not really. My main focus is on southern and western Allegheny County, though I do have some pic of Ohio River Blvd. waiting in the wings.
@@TimeTravelWithTim I enjoy your videos and have been trying to catch up... I was born on East Street, (1953) and raised in West Deer. I've been gone for over 50 years and enjoy seeing anything about the Pittsburgh area. Thank you for your videos; I know it's a lot of work for you with all the editing and commentary.
@Time Travel With Tim u should do a comprehensive look at "seldom scene" Greenway back off rt 51. It's a popular hang out these days but 20yrs ago it was my friend groups quite little gem no one knew about in the woods that backed my neighborhood. Hell the woods that surround seldom scene have a story to be told. There's old mining sites all throughout and so many things I wondered how they ended up so deep in the woods I'd love explanations to lol. But yea man, Seldom Scene(and adjacent Wabash Tunnel)would make a cool segment
@@TechTokOffical Yes, that would make a good video. But I already have pictures of MANY other places to get to that I already have pictures of. Enough for a number of years at the rate I do these. 8>)
At some point I'd like to do Saw Mill Run Blvd. and that would make a great addition if you know someone who has old pictures of Seldom Seen. I think I have one or two but not enough to do a comprehensive look.
Oh,... did you know that the U. S. Post Office is the customary builder of trails and roads.
U didn't mention the one polish club at the corner of stuben and chartiers(spelling). Always wondered how long it was there
I also didn't mention the Dutch (German) Club )where my grandfather belonged) or the Uvets or KofC, American Legion etc.,
It is about whatever I had old pictures of and could compare.
Maybe someone can answer your question.
West Pittsburgh ignored by city for years
Hi Tim, im a youngish resident of mckees rocks, and my family goes back in time in the history of the town. My last name is vattimo, and my moms original last name is bubb. I love learning about history and would love to get in touch with you to ask you a few questions! Thanks.
Hello! Have you checked out/scrolled through the McKees Rocks Historical Society Facebook page(s)? (There are two.) Or Elliott?
BTW, I mention the Vattimos and Dr. Bubb in a couple of the McKees Rocks Time Travel videos.
I have not. I'll have to check them out. Thank you
Whats your last name Tim?
I thought the doughnut shop got hit by a car and never reopened ?
It did get hit by a car but it's open again
