Notes:Sebak Street

From Pittsburgh Streets

2003-06-12: Source:Owen-2003: "Sebak Street ¶ WQED producer Rick Sebak had a street named after him Sunday in Summerset at Frick Park, the new development in Squirrel Hill. Sebak was on hand to help with a lottery for new lots put up for sale when developer Mark Schneider, president of The Rubinoff Company, made the announcement that a short connector would be called Sebak Street. ¶ Why Sebak? ¶ 'He's somebody who gets it,' Schneider said yesterday. 'He understands why this place is so great, all the little pieces of fabric that are so wonderful. . . . Rick talks about that in all he does.' ¶ For his part, Sebak thought the location of the street near the Parkway East appropriate because he was born the same day the Squirrel Hill Tunnel opened 50 years ago. ¶ 'It's such a weird honor,' Sebak said, 'but I love it.'"
