Short Description of the Program:
Oakland is more than just a Pittsburgh neighborhood. It’s
a second center for the city. In this program WQED’s producer
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 to Oakland from around the globe.
