Pittsburgh Remains to be Seen is a labor of love by me, Virginia Montanez, local writer, author, and historian. It began on Twitter with me wondering if something like this existed and then deciding to make it exist myself. I used a variety of sources for my research and I did my best to give photo credit where it was due. This project would not be possible without my friend Mike Woycheck, as well as all the organizations that were willing to help me with requests, including the Roberto Clemente Foundation, the Children's Museum, Phipps Conservatory, the Brady Stewart Collection, Senator John Heinz History Center, and Pittsburghers who submitted suggestions for places to include.
