A Place In Time is an especially apt subtitle, for that is exactly what the book does: captures pieces of Pittsbugh 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. The book was originally a compilation of articles done for Pittsburgh magazine beginning in 1980; the author has added new unpublished material to this second edition, as well as an afterword looking back at the neighborhoods and people whom he profiled over the years.
