  • The Spanish Flu of 1918 And Looking Toward The Future

    The Spanish Flu of 1918 And Looking Toward The Future
    Mar 12 2020
    In this episode, we discuss Pittsburgh’s reaction to the 1918 Influenza Pandemic that encapsulated the city by something only seen before in the medieval days of the Black Death! Many moves are being taken now by government, local sports teams and colleges but they are not unprecedented! We then tell tales from S. Trevor Hadley’s book “Only In Pittsburgh” including a story from 1909 that drives fear into the heart of every yinzer – plummeting to your certain doom, backward while on the Incline.  We also share some unusual prophecies written in 1928 predicting “Pittsburgh of the Future”.   #ThatsItFortPitt See omnystudio.com/policies/listener for privacy information.
