This Mr. Rogers Story Will Probably Make You Cry

The initial tweet Breznican quotes isn’t quite true — the “Mr. Rogers Neighborhood” most of us know didn’t debut in May of 1967, it debuted in February 1968. But that doesn’t really matter. Just read:

 A lot of people are sharing this quote after the heartbreak in Manchester. It’s also the 50th anniversary of Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood.

Breznican, like Rogers, is from Pittsburgh. And like most of us, he grew up watching Mr. Rogers. And then he outgrew it. Until he needed that kindness again when he was in college
