Fact Check: Dr. J. Scott Colombo

  1. Where Was Mister Rogers Neighborhood Filmed?

  • The show was filmed at WQED Studios on 5th Ave. in the Shadyside/Oakland area of Pittsburgh. 


  • Mister Rogers lived in the Squirrel Hill neighborhood in Pittsburgh, but he's from Latrobe, PA



2. Change Of Name For Running Drills From "Suicides" To "Champions."

  • I couldn't find much on this online, only reddit and forums. Some people said their schools changed it to "lines" but others didn't like the sound of "doing lines" as opposed to "doing suicides." Some were hurt by the use of the term suicides and asked their schools to change it. But it doesn't seem to be official anywhere that I could find. This was the most I could find: Development Zone  



3. Evolution Of Basketball Shorts Lengths

  • Michael Jordan influenced players to wear longer shorts when he started wearing his longer. In the 70s and 80s, the style was still fairly short.
