Very cool, I missed that one on there today. Next time I go through I'll have to try to remember to head over on Dobson. I come over on 28th St, then usually turn up the hill before going over that way. It's so ingrained that I'll probably forget tomorrow.

I have this feeling Polish Hill is the next Lawrenceville.

It's getting to be that way. Bloomfield-Lawrenceville is sort of extending out to include Polish Hill as well.

One of the advantages that Polish hill has is that busway stop. For folks who work downtown like myself, it's very enticing to buy a fully renovated row house at less than 150k and be less than 10 minutes from work by Public Transit.

Only con I see with Polish Hill is other than the deli, there really isn't much there in the way of buying food without drinving/walking to a different neighborhood. Being on the bus way would be a big plus though.

Yeah, you could always take the EBA to east lib to do your food shopping. Or walk to the strip on a nice day.

Are there any plans to do something to that abandoned catholic school up there? That is a real eyesore.

Or, if you're like myself, you can use a bike for getting around for basic trips. I still get looks when I ride down the street with two full saddle bags and a backpack full of groceries. Shopping that way also makes you really consider what is "essential" as you have limited space, but you'd be surprised how much stuff you can actually fit on a bike like that.

Polish Hill still has that "hipster" vibe, and has a pretty high bike presence from what I've seen. It's also a great centralized location, close to Oakland, Downtown, and other neighborhoods. Sure the topography there is a bit daunting to ride a bike on, but you just learn to pace yourself or if all else fails just walk the bike uphill on the sidewalk. The hills are what make Pittsburgh exciting! Maybe we can petition for more inclines, or outdoor escalators, or something of that nature, maybe even unique bike-designed chain lifts or something. Who knows what could be in store for the future of this city!

Also if you didn't know, Melwood Ave is somewhat of a hidden shortcut, and makes a pretty pleasant bike route from between North Oakland and the Strip... but don't tell anyone.

Witamy Do Polish Hill!

I don't know much about Polish Hill (I know where Gooski's is), could they put a grocery store somewhere?
