Comment[edit]

There has never been a place called "Allegheny, Pittsburgh". Allegheny, Pennsylvania and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania were two cities located on opposite banks of the Allegheny River. Pittsburgh annexed Allegheny in 1906-11. The "Allegheny, Pittsburgh" descriptive does not fit anything, and the information in the page is virtually worthless. 141.158.119.187 17:54, 31 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. Allegheny Pittsburgh seems redundant and should be merged. Clarkbhm 16:33, 15 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I like the fact that there's an article for the old Allegheny city (Allegheny, PA ... Allegheny, Pittsburgh). However, it definitely could use some work. I don't know enough concrete to post but maybe someone can confirm some of the following and we can work on re-building this article ... Allegheny had (and still has) an extremely high concentration of Germans. As a matter of fact, the Mt Troy and surrounding areas are informally referred to as "Little Germany". Also, I believe it was the Germans wanting to govern themselves that had a lot to do with their fight against the annexation. Wjb 23:31, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Article Re-write[edit]

I started to re-org / re-write this article. It still needs plenty of work. Please help if you can. Wjb 00:32, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think we need to be forward looking. For example to point that demolitions occured inthe 60s shoudl be an after thought. Brad —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.76.105.235 (talk) 17:31, 9 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
