I'm trying to view the Shuls that were located in Pittsburghs East End (reform, conservative, orthodox, etc.) on Google maps. I cannot find the streets, anyone know where to look?

Do you mean Homestead? Greenfield? Duquesne?
I don't think the shuls really exist anymore, what are you looking for? If you want information on the old shuls you could try contacting the Heinz History Center. They have a library and lots of old photographs. I once got a book from them about Jews of Pittsburgh and it talked about the shuls etc.

(Info from a friend:)

Here is the list the Rauh Jewish Archives at the Heinz History Center has on its website (not sure how complete it is):

There is an event at the Heinz History Center *tomorrow morning* (Sunday, 11/22) in part about the former Jewish community of the East End of Pittsburgh.

One of the presentations is, "The Lost Jewish Community of Pittsburgh's East End: a documentary in the making," by Renee Abrams. The presenter would likely know the answer to your question.

The Rauh Jewish Archives at the Heinz History Center has records for some of these congregation. For example, here is what they have for B'nai Israel:

Hope this helps!
