Yeah, we did, I know some areas in Pittsburgh that had it until the 1990's. I remember driving my grandmother at the time and she said that she "remembers those old streetlights from the time when she was a little girl." (she was born in 1912) IIRC, I remember seeing some of them in the older Robinson/Kennedy Township areas, McKees Rocks and West End in the Western side of the Pittsburgh area.

It looked a lot like the pic I posted below.
