A SHORT HISTORY OF PENNSYLVANIA ROUTE 88: Although it now starts at Route 51 in Overbrook and runs south almost to the West Virginia line, Route 88 originally started in Erie and continued all the way through Western PA. It connects many towns in the Monongahela Valley.

Rick Sebak picks up right where "Kennywood Memories" left off and takes you back to 1988 Kennywood Park.
This is an unusual half-hour program celebrating Kennywood Park, an amusement park near Pittsburgh PA, its history, its rides and its charms. The program was edited and created at WQED in 2019 with video footage that was shot in 1988.
On Monday, October 19, 1987, at 2 in the afternoon, producer Rick Sebak and a small TV crew from WQED met Fred Rogers in the small studio apartment he kept in the Cathedral Mansions apartments on Ellsworth Avenue in the Oakland part of Pittsburgh. Rick was putting together a program titled "Our Neighbor Fred Rogers" to help celebrate the upcoming 20th anniversary of Fred's national children's program called "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood," and this would be the centerpiece interview. This program includes many previously unseen parts of the interview, full of good stories and life lessons from Fred Rogers, a really wonderful teacher.
"My Seven Weeks in Magee" is Rick Sebak's eighth and last Nebby show of the year. He shares his time spent there in August 2018 recovering from a quadricep tendon rupture.
