Goodyear Torn Down to Make Way for Major Changes in the City

The Pittsburgh Cultural Trust’s plans to transform Eighth Street will mark the end of an era for a longtime fixture, the Goodyear Auto Service store at 800 Fort Duquesne Boulevard. The store, a staple of the downtown area, will be demolished once Goodyear vacates the premises in March, when its long-term lease officially ends. The Cultural Trust acquired the property in 1997 with an eye toward future development, and now, the time has come to reimagine the space as part of a larger revitalization initiative.
