Pittsburgh a to z evergreen hamlet and fish sandwiches


Pittsburgh A To Z is a 2001 documentary created by Rick Sebak about 26 things about the City of Pittsburgh for every Letter of the Alphabet. Sebak included a larger area than just the city. In addition to the city, they include Somerset County, Fayette County, and Lawrence County. They had no rules about what to include. However, double usage of any letter gave it an added attraction. They skipped the letter H because the historic spelling of Pittsburgh did not include an H during a period of 20 years.
