Take a big bite of an Oram's Donut. Go for a refreshing swim at
Ligonier Beach. Sit and stare at the dinosaur bones at Carnegie
Museum of Natural History in Oakland. Then you might start to
understand some of the enduring charms of western Pennsylvania. The
area around Pittsburgh is full of intriguing old places, unusual
family-owned businesses, a wacky set of colored "belts" that
sometimes circle the city, and lots of other unexpected pieces of
our past.
In this delightful documentary, WQED's Rick Sebak (producer of
the original "Things That Aren't There Anymore") celebrates some
interesting old buildings, classic artifacts like Fiesta dinnerware,
hand-painted movie posters and assorted other things that have
survived in spite of our local civilization. There is ancient
evidence of human habitation at Meadowcroft Rockshelter, there are
hidden luxuries in Braddock's Carnegie Library, and there are
surprises like the Warner Brothers' first movie theater, the old
Sewickley Train Station and the Calder mobile that hangs at the
Pittsburgh airport.
THINGS THAT ARE STILL HERE takes a sly look at some of the quirky
old joys of living in western Pennsylvania.
