Hopes have been crushed. Fortunes gained. Lives celebrated while others were snuffed out too soon. In the shadows, where corners are cut, and ambition unchecked - that is where the notorious stories live. Step into the dark alleyways, back rooms and even board rooms with me, as I recount Pittsburgh's seedier past. Notorious Pittsburgh features more than 20 stories, including Pittsburgh's first bank robbery, a famous jailbreak, as well as several stories from our former red-light district and the prohibition era.
