Yes! Good to know. All around Pgh there are places the locals call Hunky Hollow!

That is a good question. And although I am never actually tried to do that myself, my guess is probably not. First, the tunnel portal is about a thousand feet or so from the current highway, and at a much lower level. And the second point is that there is all those trees and other forms of vegetation that would likely obstruct your view. Of course don't forget, you would need to stop at just the right place on the current highway, which I'm sure would be very hard to determine. I can tell you one thing for sure, if you stand outside the old east portal, no matter how spooky it may look, you will definitely hear the noise of the current turnpike traffic. Contrast that to the West Portal, where everything seems so quiet!

@@CruisingPittsburghAre you going to be uploading any more videos any time soon?

Good points indeed. In fact when I was making the videos I considered the connection to I-68. The reason why I settled on a designation of I-X70 is because I-70 is one of the major interstates and also one of the longest. Plus I-70 would sit approximately in the middle of the new interstate highway here. But a designation of I-X68 is certainly an idea worth considering. Either one would certainly be better than giving it a boring old designation like US 219.

"Either one would certainly be better than giving it a boring old designation like US 219." For sure.

Are you going to upload more videos eventually, Cruising Pittsburgh? I really miss your videos and I want to film more Disney movies! You can at least work on your Red and Orange Belt playlists while you are waiting to upload more videos. I am subscribed to you and I miss your videos!

I recently recorded some more Vids and will try to edit them soon.

I covered Bedford and Everett in other videos, those about the old Lincoln Highway.

In regards to Westmoreland county, it all depends on what your needs and desires are. The county is one of the biggest in area (1,036 sq mi) yet not so big in population (about 350,000). It includes the depressed rust belt town of Monessen; as well as thriving modern suburbs like Murrysville; as well as some of the most rural, scenic, and mountainous areas - particularly towards the east. There is a lot of wealth in some areas particularly in the region around Ligonier. I will point out that a short stretch of the Youghiogheny River and the GAP trail runs thru the county including at West Newton. And this area along the GAP trail in and around West Newton provides an opportunity to rent rooms to trail users such as on airbnb.

@@CruisingPittsburgh thank you very much for the information! I watch your channel frequently!

Yeah, the 2020 population was only 37 or 38. Yet this is a very small boro with an area of .50 sq. miles with .42 sq. miles of land. So this is more than 88 people per sq. mile. And in the summer and on weekends this place bustles with tourists. And every house in this town is a potential investment for rent on sites such as airbnb.

Happy Halloween to you too. I hope to still find the red belt videos and edit them. The orange will have to wait till next summer unfortunately.

@@CruisingPittsburgh Okay, I understand now. So, The Little Mermaid will be next on my agenda and I can film Beauty and the Beast next summer if you cannot get your Orange Belt videos up sooner. A year ago, I was filming your Yellow Belt videos while watching Aladdin on Disney+.

@@CruisingPittsburgh How are your other videos doing on this 33rd anniversary of The Little Mermaid?

@@CruisingPittsburgh When are you going to upload more belt system videos? It has been months and I am subscribed to you for a reason. Which color belt are you going to film next? Red, orange, or blue?

Do you think that he will be making any more videos anytime soon, or is he done? He better not be done because I subscribed to him.

Are you going to be uploading any more playlists of the Allegheny County Belt System anytime soon? I am asking this because it has been weeks.

I do not think I knew the name of it at the time. Sorry.

@@CruisingPittsburgh When are you going to upload more videos on the belts? It has been months and I am subscribed to you for a reason.

That I do not know. I would certainly hope so; Inclusivity and diversity is beneficial after all. But I do know a lot of Hispanics live today in the Beechview neighborhood of Pittsburgh.

I'm orginally from windber. Not many Hispanics in Windber and I'm sure at one point one would face some racism. But most people are going to be decent. The slightly larger small city of Johnstown (8 miles away) does have some Hispanics, mostly Puerto Ricans ( as a child I only knew one Hispanic person who lived in Windber, she was of Mexican decent, made traditional Mexican food out of her home which my parents sometimes bought).

It's a good place to lived any races.its quite and peaceful

When is he going to upload his Red and Orange Belt playlists?

I do have Vids that I need to edit on both

I am waiting for him to upload his Red and Orange Belt playlists in order for me to film The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast on Disney+.

YES. I did notice on a map that the other way you mentioned, going around on the east side, was shorter. Yet at the time I could only follow the recommended detour to the west side. What intrigues me is that the west side -- McGregor Ave and School Rd -- would be a shorter and quicker alternative for PA 160. Yet I suppose that PennDOT prefers to keep it going thru the middle of town.

@@CruisingPittsburgh Will you be working on your Red and Orange Belt playlists anytime soon?

@@CruisingPittsburgh When will you get started on your Red and Orange Belt playlists?

@@CruisingPittsburgh It’s been weeks. When are you going to upload your videos on the Red and Orange Belts?

No mention of St. John the Baptist. The big red brick church

Please give me time

@@CruisingPittsburgh All right. I just can’t wait to see them, that’s all!
