And look out in the suburbs too for what is new.   Look down beyond  
Drake in Upper St. Clair and into northern Washington County at  
Peters and North Strabane townships .. incredible growth since you  
were there.   Look at western western Westmoreland County.   Then  
look at how places like the Ohio Valley and McKeesport went the other  
way.   And look at Homestead ... the shopping center where Homestead  
Works used to be is a real eye opener ... the jobs are McDonald's  
selling burgers to Eat 'n Park and Macy's employees.

And if you like weird and wonderful food, there are a lot of strange  
restaurants out where J&L's mill used to be on East Carson Street.

It may look the same as it did 40 years ago but East Carson Street is  
a different place.
