I hope no one thought I was insinuating it was a Pittsburgh problem.
Oh, I certainly didn't take it as such. I just needed something as a segue into the self-serving comment I followed with.

Treveskyn is right down the road from Morgan on Millers Run Road in South Fayette. I don't even know if it's officially a place name anymore. Sygan is out that way too.

Most (if not all) of these are old coal patch towns, some only containing a handful of houses. Some of them are so small they won't even show up on a map. I have family from Gilmore, which is a tiny patch town near Cecil. It won't show up on a map, and people 5 miles away haven't even heard of it, but it's been there ever since a man named Gilmore opened the Morris Mine a century ago.

Wow, so once upon a time, Allegheny County was even more fragmented than it is now?!

Speaking of small towns near South Fayette... anyone ever driven thru Cuddy? I had no idea it existed until I stumbled upon it one day. Creepy...

Cuddy is a tiny hole in the wall. There's been a restaurant/bar there that has changed hands several times over the past several years that isn't bad. Why do you call it creepy, though?

Just meant creepy, as in weird to think that people live in a place that I didn't even know existed. It was also very quiet and sorta run-down, having just come out of McMansion areas of South Fayette.

It's about time they took all those nonexistent villages off their maps too. Here's a list of places Rand McNally illustrates in Allegheny County that I've never heard of:

- Bakerstown Station
- Blaine Hill
- Blythedale
- Buena Vista
- Bunola
- Culmerville
- Curtisville
- Elrama
- Morgan
- Rural Ridge
- Santiago
- Treveskyn

Those that are bolded are Zip codes, much like Wexford and Gibsonia. PA is a crazy commonwealth.

There are similar small towns like that around the Greensburg area, places such as Bovard, Luxor, Hannastown, Boquet, Forbes Road... most people outside the area would have no idea that such places exist but they do and they even come with their own zip code and post office.
