The Pittsburgh Public Schools have built a $30 million High School for the Performing Arts just two doors down from one of the region’s largest strip joints. (although word is a large % of the student body there is gay)
I’m not sure what you are talking about, CAPA is nowhere within 2 blocks of the largest club in the region, its on 9th Street.
The only club close to it is called Blush, which has been a strip club in one form or another for many decades... and while it does more advertising than most in town it is not remotely one of the largest, in fact its one of the smallest in terms of size. The place is maybe the size of most folks gamerooms.
The largest in square footage right now is probably Cheerleaders, which is out in the strip districts, nowhere near CAPA.
If it makes you feel morally better, they did buy up and tear down another club in the downtown area to build that african american center that they spent untold gobs on.
In all honestly, the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust has cleaned up downtown a huge amount in the past 20 years, much of the Cultural District as it now stands was not all that long ago nothing but porn theaters, adult bookstores and problem bars not all that long ago.
