Jim... My first apartment was the downstairs of the house where Donna Jean's aunt live on Broadway Ave., Ext. You are correct in how the zip code system was designed. The McKeesport Post Office still uses the 15134 for all of the Post Office Boxes.

Barbara Jo: I grew up on Broadway Extension. I used to deliver papers to the Youngs -- that was their second home on the street. The house that Donna Jean grew up in was down past Elm Street. My family home is on the corner and DJY's was caddy corner to ours. I was about 4 when her parents moved up the street. When Donna Jean went to Hollywood, she got her mother a poodle that was dyed purple. I had a stuffed dog that I got for my third birthday and I begged my mother to dye it purple just like the one across the street. Do you remember Mr. Lorenz who lived next the the Youngs?
