Thanks for posting, hope your leg feels better today after a good soak in the tub.

Was this an older or industrial part of the city?

I noted a lot of buildings posted for sale or closed, lots of grass and weeds in and on the sidewalk and in the gutter and a lot of very old/damaged ute poles.

Looked like as many photogs as protesters.

Anyway, keep up the good work, we have a town hall meeting tonight (Anchorage), I will try and get some pics as well.

Just neighborhood in Pittsburgh is older. Those row houses in the background I am sure are over one hundred years old (I grew up in one like that in another Pgh neighborhood).

These are people who are not wealthy...there are a few ‘trendy housing areas’ (S. Side Flats; Mexican War Streets; Shadyside—where old, gentrified housing has been ‘redone’—but not Bloomfield/Lawrenceville).

I loved the kids with the Penguin stuff...too cool...anyone of the them could bitc# clapped an anarachist (or ten) w/o any PD help.

This is in the upper Strip District/lower Lawrenceville area of the city, which is mostly old buildings and pretty run down. I live across the river in Sharpsburg which is getting pretty run down itself. I hope to be retired and out of there in 3 or 4 years. There were many more police and curious civilians like me than protestors where I was.
