Panther Hollow

Panther Hollow is a ravine of sorts that runs between CMU and University of Pittsburgh. It is so called because of a yearly holiday event that took place there. The taxidermied skins of the native Allegheny Panther were brought in, stuffed with candy, and hung from trees while local children battered them, blindfolded, for fun and profit. The railway currently running through Panther Hollow now made this event more difficult and, subsequently, its popularity declined.

If you follow Panther Hollow down past CMU, you will enter the Land of the Lost. There is topologically no room for that neighborhood between Pitt and Schenley Park. It's true! It exists in a fold of space-time. People live there, but you never see their eyes.
