Reply to comment by mrsrtz in What do yinz know about Twelve Mile Island near Oakmont? Scrolling around on google maps and it seems to have housing, but only accessible by boat. by tapdancingtommy7

We need to start sending some drones over there or something. This is some legendary stuff I've never heard before. I mean, Washington's Landing and even Neville Island are kinda cool but this is interesting as fuck.

Thanks! I LIVE on Neville Island! My family actually immigrated from Poland to the Island in the 1930s. When my grandpa built his house, he found several Indian arrowheads buried in the ground. It's actually got a LOT of cool history, it just had a bad rap (I think) due to the factories. Personally; I'd LOVE to see them all torn down, and houses or businesses put up right along the waterfront! Maybe it won't happen in MY LIFETIME, but I really hope that it happens some day!

I hear Carmody's make an excellent prime rib. I’ve wanted to check it out on my way back from wash pa.

If you LIKE prime rib, then yes. I heard it is very good! I worked at the Carmodys restaurant that was in wexford, like 20 years ago! It was definitely a very nice restaurant, as opposed to the bar type setting at the one on Neville island. The food at the carmody's in Wexford was out of this world! The food at the new car movies on Neville Island is decent, but I guess I'm comparing it too much to the older one! I just don't like prime rib personally, because I like my meat to be well done! And obviously you can't really get well done prime rib, otherwise it would be like eating a leather shoe! Or so I've heard..

Also highly recommend checking out the Globe View in Google Maps for places like this (and pretty much anywhere else in Pittsburgh)
