This Guy Curious Life ( tartarian prisons ) put me on to Pittsburgh. It was on my radar because of the star fort but I didn't look to hard until I watched that. Did you know that Grant Street wasn't always level? .

I've been to Pittsburgh more times than I can count as I live close, and I have a few old maps of the area that indicate there were 2 more Starforts on the peninsula, and also a lack of the smaller Starfort on the Pointe.

Here's a phenomenal website that I found in search of these maps for those who wanna check it out:
