Two Oxford was supposed to be a 52-story post-modern skyscraper, proposed in the late 1980s but abandoned not too long after

Pittsburgh had a very extensive subway system planned as early as the 1920s and had secured some grants before abandoning the proposal some time in the '40s.

One Grandview was to be a residential/retail/hotel complex that included a 21-story high-end hotel. The project has since been modified after failed attempts to secure funding and now they want to build utter crap in its place. What they want to build instead looks like barracks, or a spread-out 1950s school campus.

Before Mellon built their client services center, there was a proposal to put a couple of office buildings surrounding an urban shopping complex right in between US Steel Tower and One Mellon Bank Center. One of the buildings was to rise 53 floors and rise above the 841-foot tall US Steel Tower. Unfortunately, the recession in the early 1990s killed this proposal.

Pittsburgh has a subway system now doesn't it or am I mistaken?
