Named for the famous early-19th-century Point Breeze Hotel that stood at the corner of what is now Fifth and Penn Avenues; Point Breeze has been home to some of the wealthiest families in Pittsburgh and the country. Moguls such as Carnegie; Westinghouse; Frick; Mellon; and Thaw all resided in Point Breeze; thus christened "Pittsburghs Most Opulent Neighborhood." H.J. Heinz owned the first car in Pittsburgh; which was garaged at his estate in North Point Breeze; and present-day Wilkins Avenue was originally the private road to the 650-acre estate of senator; ambassador to Russia; and judge William Wilkins. However; many of these prestigious estates were later razed and divided to become smaller residential lots; driving the real estate market to create more homes to accommodate 20th-century families. In later years; the Point Breeze neighborhood became the home of several well-known authors; including Annie Dillard; Albert French; and David McCullough; as well as professional athletes Willie Stargell of the Pirates and L.C. Greenwood of the Steelers and everyones favorite neighbor; Mr. Rogers.

I was amazed at the candidness; caring; humor and practicality that Pentilde;a invests in this work. The exercises are helpfully organized and explained; often accompanied by illustrations. The photos of La Postra Nochas work are absolutely stunning. I could not recommend this more to anyone seeking to push the boundaries of their work.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
