"Ruins" and Urban Non-Planning Series
1. Ohio River Blvd
Probably an elegant street at one time; the houses and the trees are still nice but do not try to walk here.

North American Ruins: Braddock, PA Chapter. To savor ruins, no need to vacation in Egypt or Greece. America has its own rich landscape.

3. Edgar Thomson Works
The old Edgar Thomson works is not completely gone. Bruce worked here in the summer of 1971.
95 _09Jul06-pgh_0805 The 19th century works are not completely razed. I think this the old "slag pit", the building in which they filled the huge ladles. You can see the severed beams which connected it to the open hearth.
96 _09Jul06-pgh_0806 I parked here while at work!

98 _09Jul06-pgh_0811a I forgot about this. I wonder how many pilgrims it receives?
