I grew up in McK...class of 72. Funny...I was So unhappy there! I hated it! But videos like this make me realize it was partly me I hated...it Was a great place...made me who I am. Heartbreaking ....
As soon as I started playing McKeesport, I began crying. I loved McKeesport. I was born in 1945. We had it good. The only thing I cared about was lifting weights, and trying to find a girlfriend. I was very good at the weights. Finding girls, not so much. Now, when I ride through McKeesport, my heart breaks. We thought it would last forever, It should have. Alas, our very own government gave it away. Everything our government is involved in gets ruined. For you guys and gals my age, all I can say is gut your guns and have plenty of ammo. The worst is yet to come. 😊
My Grandmother used to tell me we are going shopping downtown...she didn't mean Pittsburgh she meant Mckeesport. We would catch the bus on Fawcett Ave. and ride into a bustling city. I'm 67 now and those memories of that city still enthrall me.
McKeesport was a city. It had a vibrant city center. It had it's own Department Store. US Steel had a plant there. It had it's own hospital. Now McKeesport is a shell of it's former self.
Poor mill hunk thinks Baldamo bags are Samsonite luggage!! ( Joke from my childhood!) I remember the ,mill hunks ...with their Balsamo bags going to work... ...
Nice picture and music
We die with our memories and my memories of McKeesport in the 1960s will comfort me for eternity. I truly loved that city.
Very true. It was a great city to grow up in.
Very true. I grew up in the 60s and it was the best time of my life. The memories that I still have at age 68 will remain with me forever.

When the steel mill was going, it was a bustling town.
