Market Street ramp to the right....A politician put it there in 1949..
This sign hangs in my car-port.....It was given to me by Jos. Fay Inc...Pittsburgh
It was at the intersection of the Mkt. Sq. down ramp and the Mulberry St ramp.
Why it was in that spot, nobody knows...
It is 1/4" thick.....18" X 72"........( 1951 bridge )
