more difficult since the closest and most logical bus stop, which serves
both the Allegheny Observatory and Riverview Park, has been eliminated
by the Port Authority of Allegheny County (PAT) public transit system. For out-of-town tourists, or even other city and county residents not
from the North Side's Observatory Hill neighborhood, attending tours or
lectures at Allegheny Observatory, the Observatory is now more difficult
to find and reach by public transit.</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">In 1912, famous astronomer and telescope-maker John Brashear sited the new Allegheny Observatory away from the center
of Pittsburgh on a high hill in a new city park, just one block from a
major streetcar line, for easy public access.</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1443323733486_7824" dir="ltr"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1443323733486_7825" dir="ltr">More: <a id="yui_3_16_0_1_1443323733486_7874" href="http://spacewatchtower.blogspot.com/2015/09/allegheny-observatory-bus-stop.html">http://spacewatchtower.blogspot.com/2015/09/allegheny-observatory-bus-stop.html</a><br></div><div style="width:450px;
