- Anyway, while we were Christmas shopping, my husband saw a video about
- West View park in one of the local Pittsburgh memorabilia shops. He was
- going to buy it for me, but didn't want to do it while I was there, and
- never got back to the shop. It was titled something like "Remembering
- West View Park." From the cover photo, I'm not sure that the quality of
- the film is very good (faded-looking b&w photo), but of course much
- of the material would have to be taken from very old b&w pictures and
- home movies. (I was just talking with a friend of mine who told me that he
- has some home movies of West View Park---I have to make sure to see them.)
-
- We haven't seen this video for sale anywhere but this one shop...has
- anyone else seen it?
