Hey Kranked...I live about 45 minutes from downtown. I've got some places lined up on the Northside I'd like to dig. If you ever need a digging partner let me know. I also have a couple of whiskeys from Pitts. One is marked Allegheny Pa. which is the Northside now. Get in touch with me.

Sure Ill dig anytime!!! Are you talking privy dig or dump on the northside? should be a few of each there. and weekend are best chance i get to dig.

Heres two quart beers embossed D. Lutz & Son Brewing Co. Allegheny. Pa dug from dump near there.

Must have been a lot of beer drinkers on the northside back when all the breweries were kicking.

Also found this dairy which has Cronenweth Dairy 1356 Herman St N.S.

I thought it stood for North Side, but never did get anyone to confirm this. There just happens to be Herman St on troy hill.
