"Yinzer Cemeteries" pay homage to Pittsburgh's past in unique Halloween displays

It just wouldn't be Halloween in Pittsburgh without some Yinzer flair. Whether it's kids dressing up as their favorite Penguin, Pirate, or Steelers player, or adults paying homage to their favorite Pittsburgh history, such as the infamous sinkhole bus, there's always a black and gold theme to be had. 

In Dormont, the ghosts of Pittsburgh's past were on full display as part of a Yinzer Cemetery.

The creative lawn display remembered the past landmarks in the city, such as Forbes Field, Three Rivers Stadium, The Log Jammer, and Century III Mall. 

The display can be seen on Potomac Avenue in Dormont. 

Meanwhile, closer to the city, another "Yinzer Cemetery" exists in Pittsburgh's Morningside neighborhood.

Those decorations can be found on Chislett Street in Morningside.
