The forerunner to the modern movie theater, the nickelodeon, first opened in McKeesport, Pennsylvania, near Pittsburgh, in 1905.

Hi,
Just FYI: the first Nickelodeon was on Smithfield Street in Pittsburgh. The second Nickelodeon was in McKeesport on Fifth Avenue. Don’t feel bad, though, Jeopardy presented the McKeesport connection as a fact, too.
(I was entertainment editor of the McKeesport Daily News).
Thanks, Dave
