[PRCo] Re: Demise of Steel industry in Pittsburgh

Yes, I go to Steelyard Commons several times per week. It is even advertised as the "place where Downtown Cleveland shops." A very nicely done shopping area, but developed for the middle classes as the wealthy would never leave the insulation of Beechwood, Pepper Pike, Gates Mills, or Chagrin Falls. In fact the two largest stores are my favorite department stores (since there are no Kaufmans, Gimbles, or Hornes here) those being Walmart and Target.

Yard Commons (a shopping center) now.
