The man's an interesting guy, Braddock is the epitomy of the steel decline.. once a boombing middle class steel town on the outskirts of pittsburgh town, it fell to beyond bust, interestingly even though the Mill that forged it is still operational The only one left in the Pittsburgh area. Doesn't employ nearly the work force it did back in the day, but its still there.
This guys committed to Braddock, and if they can get their violence and crime under control they may have a shot a turning the place around. A LOT of history happened in Braddock and it could become a destination point and tourist and history buffs. Home of a lot of colonial history as well as industrial age history. First Carnegie Library ever built... etc etc. 
Guys not originally from the place, but seems very dedicated to it, I moved to the area in 86, and Braddock was my first exposure, it was clearly well in decline then, I hope he can turn the place around.. it truly is depressing place these days.
I drove out through Braddock to get to the Waterfront on several occasions. It always struck me as sad, how far the town had fallen.
I also had a bad time trying to watch for stoplights, they were all mounted on street corners and almost invisible.
