* Billy Buck Hill

The neighborhood was founded by Germans. Its homes – like many on the South Side – have passed through generations of families. The name Billy Buck comes from goats that a local store once kept in its yard. Bordered by cliffs and rugged terrain, the area is accessible by steps and a single street. According to the Post-Gazette, there have been a few famous mishaps here. Once a milk truck flipped over while making deliveries on the hilly streets. Another time, a horse and wagon, hauling waste from neighborhood outhouses, tumbled over the hillside. The ball field on the left is at the summit of this steep hillside.
