WPXI also, quite PC-ly, refuses the name the neighborhood.

It was the Hill District, an overwhelmingly Black part of town that was burnt during riots in 1968.

My first thought was Homewood since they refused to name it. The Hill District was my second thought.

Funny how refusal to name the neighborhood actually names the neighborhood, isn't it?

Sounds like a real life location upon which the cop show "Hill Street Blues" was based.
