Yes.
This is an insanely archvillain act of cruelty let alone of economic sabotage

Santa Claus Visits Pittsburgh's Bettis Field in 1929

A 1929 Pittsburgh Press column joked that Santa would land at Bettis Field (the area's best airport located in West Mifflin) on Christmas Eve for the orphanage gift drive. We imagined this column as a radio show complete w/sound effects & paired w/holiday postcards. Enjoy!🎅🛩️

Happy November from me & my cover story for Fall 2023 Heinz History Center magazine!

So great to connect w/so many Pittsburghers who fondly remember “Romper Room.” Check out my article to learn about Pittsburgh broadcast history & how the show reflected societal concerns of 1950s, 60s & 70s.
