Date: 8 September 1981 2256-EDT (Tuesday) From: Steven.Elkind at CMU-10A (X335SE30) To: Harry.Bovik at CMU-10A Subject: car washes, century III mall, etc. Message-Id: <08Sep81 225621 SE30@CMU-10A> Origin: X335SE30 at CMU-10A; 9 Sep 1981 0129-EDT Joe, Here's a copy of a file containing directions to five local (?) self-wash-it type car washes, 2 automatic car washes, Century III mall, a Turnpike entrance, South&North Parks, and a Friendly's ice cream parlor. *********** NOW FIVE (count 'em -5) car washes in the vicinity(?) 1) Monroeville: Go out to Monroeville. Get off at first M'ville exit, follow rte. 22 until you get to Jonnet building (and Gee Bee dept store) on left; turn left. This is just before the Miracle Mile shopping center. follow this road , branching left always. This is, I believe, the old William Penn highway. Eventually, you will come to the car wash on the left. 1a) (NEW) I saw this one in passing, and as of two weeks ago it was still under construction but apparently 80-90% complete. Get off first Monroeville exit on Parkway, turn left at first light (Rodi Rd.) It's down a ways on the right hand side. FYI, (if such things interest you), there's a Gold Circle Store another mile or so down on left, in the Penn Hills Mall. 2)(about the same time as previous choice): Pleasant Hills. Get to Century III mall. About 1 Mile S of the Mall on rte. 51 is a car wash, on the left. .......The best way to Cent.III mall is !!!NOT!!! through liberty tubes. Go across Greenfield Bridge and go straight through the light, up the hill. Turn right (this is on to Greenfield Ave. (Blvd?)) (alternatively, go across Panther hollow bridge, go right to Blvd of the allies bridge out of park. take the first left after bridge, then turn left again at the stop sign. follow a windy road, go over bridge, and wind up halfway down greenfield ave hill. turn right onto ave.) Go down this avenue until you are about to go under a bridge; turn left at the stoplight instead of going under bridge. This takes you into Hazelwood. Go straight, and then across bridge. Continue as straight as possible (i.e., follow the sign for rte.885 - do not bear right down a ramp.). Turn right at the second light on that side of the river (the first light is right near an abandonned school), and go up the hill. You will go under an overpass, which is actually runway 10/28 of the county airport. If you want to get to the Cent.III mall, go straight through the next light (i.e., go between Sambo's and McDonald's) and follow signs for the mall. I guess that to go to the car wash, your best bet would be to go through the mall parking lot to get to rte. 51 (go left on 51 out of the lot). During non-rush hour times, this is probably faster than going to Monroeville. given the current condition of the Parkway. <
