hmm yeah, i know exactly what you mean and i do like to separate my own photo sets into neighborhoods when i can.
that said, i do enjoy a great top shelf mixed set like this one.
not sure that one way is any better presentation than another, but its probably good a local notices and points things like that out though.
regardless, we'll take all we can get from pittsburgh, great to see it.
