Erie and Road Construction


I was coming from Allegheny Station and into the neighborhood, when I saw this major traffic jam. It turns that there is construction work being done at the corner of Allegheny and Broad Street. As a result, both sides of West Allegheny Ave from the corner of Broad Street and westward were reduced to one lane for about a quarter-mile. Needless to say, this caused an amazing traffic jam with lots of beeping horns and a lot of annoyed people.

Later, I decide to walk north on Broad Street until I get to the area to the area around 15th Street and Zion Baptist Church. This was the third or fourth in the area, but the first time in the area by the Baptist Church. I saw this mural dedicated a former reverend of the Zion Church. I went down many of the side streets of the area around Erie Ave as well. I was surprised by the fact, even through some the houses needed some touchups overall, there was dozens of satellite all over the place. I walked onto Erie Ave and I keep running into dozens of children playing on the sidewalk. There was, however, 5 or 6 abandoned buildings in the area I was walking through
