Something About Oakland (Pittsburgh) [VHS]
Oakland is more than just a Pittsburgh neighborhood.  It’s a second center for the city.  In this program, Rick Sebak celebrates some of the unusual people, places and things that make Oakland unforgettable.It all started when Mary Schenley donated land for a beautiful wooded park.  Soon Andrew Carnegie built a great library and museums nearby.  There was a grand hotel, a spectacular greenhouse, and a beloved old ballpark called Forbes Field.  Before long, students were coming here from around the globe.We marvel at the Bug Rooms, the murals and the Music Hall at the Carnegie Museums.  We race through Schenley Park, stop in at the Pittsburgh Play House, and visit several of the shops along Craig Street.The program is called Something About Oakland because it would be impossible to include everything about this amazing part of town.
