The Hill District was an amazingly vibrant place back then. It was originally a neighborhood of middle-class blacks. There were a huge number of small businesses. It also drew black people from across the US and even Europe. It was a center for Jazz.

Did I say anything about killing cats? (scrolls up, checks post). Nope, I didn't.

Domestic cats should be supervised and not permitted outside unless they are attended. Cats have really impacted bird populations, and I don't think that's a good thing at all. I understand what you are saying about cat programs, but it's not solving the bird problem, is it?

Cats are responsible for decimating bird populations. There are no natural controls on them when they are feral. The solution of keeping cats supervised, and fining people that feed them is actually a good one and may help in finding a way to balance the population. They should be brought into shelters in order to spay or neuter them.

It's like what happened when wolves were reintroduced in Colorado and other Western states.

I was listening to some show on MSNBC that was talking about the uptick in tourism. The person being interviewed mentioned Pittsburgh because of the cultural attractions. The Carnegie International is running, and they mentioned the new addition to the Science Museum and some other stuff. Also the food, and didn't talk about Primanti's or sports at all.
