Description
Everyone knows about New York City’s Wall Street, but back in the day, individual cities had their own stock exchanges. Our version of Wall Street was on Fourth Avenue, where City Cast Pittsburgh’s very own offices are! We're revisiting our conversation with author and historian Mark Houser about how we got that Wall Street in the first place and why those grand banks turned into those parking lots that we see today.
