PITTSBURGH (AP) — For just this weekend, a Pittsburgh neighborhood that's lain dormant in boxes and under plastic coverings for nearly a decade is coming back to life.
Everyone important will be there in Mister Rogers' Neighborhood of Make-Believe: Daniel Striped Tiger, X the Owl, Henrietta Pussycat — even Mr. McFeely.
The set is being rebuilt and opened to the public Saturday and Sunday, giving generations of Americans who grew up with Fred Rogers — as well as their children who watch his reruns — a look at one of TV's most famous neighborhoods.
The weekend also marks the renaming of the WQED studio, where the show was taped, after Fred Rogers.
WQED says the show, now in its 41st year, is the longest-running show on public television.
