Allegheny Cemetery — Attraction in Pittsburgh

VERY VERY RUDE. Lived and grew up in LV. Worked for the Boys and Girls Club almost a decade. The so called “security” guard im guessing with NO name tag. Was INSANELY rude. Singled out my sister and I during a LV art crawl that we PAID the CITY to attend. With over 200 artist. I pulled next to other MANY PARKED cars (except i used my flashers because it was only to unload into our designated PAID spot..) our 5th year attending.

Apparently only we weren’t permitted. 150+ feet before any sort of sign etc. We immediately apologized. no problem. told him we were just moving things really quickly and he began to tell me he doesn't care. Then told me to grab my “other shit” off the grass and muttered something about not having it anymore. Which wasn't even our stuff nor near us? Then getting into my car, i wasn't allowed to put my drink in my cup holder before i drove off…… who is this guy??? Who hires people like this?

It apparently offended him i was taking too long to put my cup in the holder…for idk 10-12secs? i had stuff in my hands. which confused me. He let massive people park off to the side 150+feet from the gate entrance. now in what day and age are cemetery workers now the police? And aggressive Literally threatened us while we were mid move? Talking about Dont “break the law” by taking too long to move. He was SHOUTING, SCREAMING at us. Other ppl began to ask if we were okay.

Told me he’d “do something” if I didnt hurry and move. He then came over and took a picture of my license plate??? I am in my 30’s. To be spoken like that after AGREEING so nicely was ridiculous!!!! My sister also has a video for her safety.

So i am making it my duty to spread the word about these nasty workers. This was a white male around 6ft tall, glasses, grayish short hair wearing a baseball styled hat. Grey shirt and shorts. He was in a truck and exited his vehicle . i also have this workers picture and a video of the interaction which i will be using to spread awareness. Extremely Hostile towards women , made me debate calling the actual police and my husband to place a report since he took pictures of my car?? Because i was so alarmed, i took photos which i have time stamped by the hour ALL day for my safety . Arrived at 11:30am, We left at 9pm. To show uhauls parked there, ppl parked for over 30mins +etc literally blocking the entrance and not one person did he say anything to but us?

DISGUSTING HUMAN being with nothing better to do then bully locals. If youre this rude to the living, NO WAY they will treat your LOVED ONES with NO VOICE WITH RESPECT. Im a local so ive already seen and heard how they treat headstones, family remains and demolish things for money when they run out of room. So thanks for...

The Story of Allegheny Cemetery

As early as 1834 an attempt was made by Dr. J. Ramsey Speer, Stephen Colwell and John Chislett, Sr. to establish a rural cemetery. The three persons named were connected with the Third Presbyterian Church of Pittsburgh, of which Dr. D. H. Riddle was Pastor, and the congregation not having procured a burial ground, their attention was drawn to the subject and it was proposed to purchase a lot belonging to the heirs of Judge Roberts, situated on the south side of Wylie Street. The entire lot, containing eleven acres, was offered for Five Thousand Dollars on easy terms and was considered large enough for one congregation. In the meantime, the decided success of Mount Auburn Cemetery at Boston led them to change their plans, so as to embrace the prospective needs of the whole population of the two cities of all denominations that might think proper to join in the movement. With this thought in mind, Dr. Speer visited Mount Auburn at Boston, which was chartered in 1831, Laurel Hill in Philadelphia, 1836, and Greenwood in New York, 1838. In the interval of years between 1834 and 1842, continued efforts were made to keep the subject alive through occasional articles in the newspapers advocating the measure. Repeated explorations were made of all the sites that were considered suitable or available for the purpose, until finally the farm and homestead of Col. Bayard, embracing one hundred acres, located between the Greensburg Pike and the Sharpsburg Ferry, was chosen. Several meetings of interested citizens were held, which resulted in the Act of Incorporation being passed by the Legislature without objection and returned with the approval of Gov. David A. Porter, dated April 24th, 1844. Legal matters in regard to drafting the Charter and additional legislation was placed in the hands of the Hon. Richard Biddle, a very prominent lawyer who also served as the Cemetery’s...
