Preservation Opportunities: Spring Hill
Spring Hill is a historic hill-top neighborhood located on the North Side of the city of Pittsburgh. While there are some beautiful Victorian homes in this neighborhood, many have seen better days. Here are a few abandoned buildings in Spring Hill which could be excellent historic preservation opportunities.

Uniontown, PA
Here are a few pictures I took during a visit to Uniontown, PA. Uniontown is a small city located about an hour south of Pittsburgh. The downtown area has seen substantial revitalization, including restored storefronts, new businesses, and a beautifully renovated historic theater. It is clear that the city leaders of Uniontown are on the right track and have made great strides. They have increased the attractiveness of the urban core of the city, thereby making the city a more vibrant and appealing place to be.
