The South Side is Pittsburgh's most eclectic neighborhood. The older
East European population is eclectic enough, but in the past two decades
it has been joined by a colorful collection of artists, yuppies, and miscellaneous
trendies. You can see the results on Carson Street, Pittsburgh's longest
shopping street and (by some accounts) the trendiest street in America.
Art galleries, body-piercing shops, and jazz clubs coexist with timeless
hardware stores and blue-collar bars. In the back streets, it's the same
story: beautifully restored rowhouses sit side by side with Permastone
monsters. Little old Ukrainian ladies wave and smile as they pass their
pink-haired twenty-something neighbors.
