Pittsburgh: A Place in Time

Mendelson's stories show us the heart of Pittsburgh's neighborhoods-Its People.

2nd edition, revised and enlarged. "A place in time" captures Pittsburgh as snapshots in time. Readers familiar with the city will find themselves making comparisons of how much--and in some cases, how little--things have changed over the years. Much in the city abides, yet much does not. Other readers will simply be charmed.

Pittsburghers are a nostalgic bunch, and will enjoy this fond yet clear-eyed view of their city. For non-Pittsburghers or those new to the region, it provides a window into a city of neighborhoods and colorful individuals who defy and confirm stereotypes simultaneously.
