History Tidbit: WTAE’s Sign

September 18, 2015 Off By Eric O'Brien

Streetcars in the Early Pittsburgh Days on Facebook shows this picture of a trolley heading along what is now a grass median on Ardmore Boulevard sometime in the 1960s. Naturally I was more taken with WTAE-TV’s sign on the STL tower. The tower is still there, but the current sign (which needs new light bulbs) is basic by comparison.
