Mr Rodgers Statue.


Won't you be my neighbor? Countless kids grew up watching Mr Rodger's Neighborhood ( PBS) from 1968 to 2001. But few people know he was from Pittsburgh.

Mr Rodger's Neighborhood aired from 1968 to 2001. And was produced at WQED and shown all over the U.S. And the world.

Fred McFeely Rogers (March 20, 1928 – February 27, 2003) was born in Latrobe, Pennsylvania. He studied music, never drank or smoked. He was a vegetarian because he didn't want to eat an animal that could be a mother.   His desk at WQED didn't have a desk because it wasn't inviting.  Because of him many kids grew up to become upstanding citizens. Thank you Mr Rodgers.
