Incidentally, I am really hoping a large percentage of the historic structures in the core downtown can be saved. If so, Wilkinsburg could end up particularly charming.
I completely and totally agree. Not to mention it's a lot closer to the Parkway East, which makes it quite accessible for those who don't necessarily want to deal with the insanity of the road network surrounding the East Liberty/Shadyside area... Wilkinsburg DOES have great bones and I truly hope that this seed money helps to really get the ball rolling to fix up some of those dilapidated, yet still seemingly intact and renovatable, structures.
