Jenkins Arcade was a good one. Though I have unpleasant memories of it, as the upper floors

I think I'd choose the old Exposition Hall that was about where the downtown end of the
Ft. Duquesne Bridge is today. Seeing what other cities have done with such spaces it
would have made a fantastic flea and farmers market space.

Wow, it would be cool to have the Allegheny market building back, heck the whole area that is now the Allegheny Center complex for that matter. The Allegheny train station where the post office sits now would be awesome.

Chiodos, yes! I still remember the smell of the grapes when you entered the parking lot. A true loss for Pittsburgh, first bar I remember having a serious assortment of beers in the cooler. Miss it.

I kind of wish Shadyside was still like it was back in the 1960's-1970's.
