Listers, I discovered 2 new streets today and something else, something that I never heard of. I had 26 cars on fire today in Battaglia's Wrecking Yard on W. Carson St today. The street leading to the office is Musk Way and Musk Way is one end of Riverside St, a street that doesn't appear on any map that I have. While talking to the owner of Hunt's Stained Glass Studio, he informed me that the street was named Riverside because there was a high school on that location named, you guessed it, "Riverside High"! I had never heard of it. His information was re-iterated by Butch Battaglia whose father owns the wrecking yard. According to both gentlemen, Riverside High School existed up to some time in the 1930s! Has anyone ever heard of this school or have any info? Al

Mac, Across the Ft Pitt Bridge, take the exit for W. Carson St. The modern and long building is the Buncher Building, formerly a Heinz warehouse. Next visible landmark is the Pacific Pride gas station, just pumps. Right after Pacific Pride and about 100 feet before the ramp leading to the West End and Bridge is a tiny cut in the curb. That's Musk Way and you can't miss the wrecks parked there. The Wrecking Yard is probably 600 ft or more in length. If you went up the ramp or to the right to continue on W. Carson, you've travelled too far. Al At 07:59 PM 11/7/2001, you wrote: >Al Lenkner, > Where on W Carson is the wrecking yard ??
