I go back once or twice a year. Last time was in May. Consistently, over the last couple of decades, the Avenue looks like a film of Germany's cities at the end of WWII. Of course, the paisan are gone and it is dominated by the mulignane. It's a shame, a crying shame. Hopefully though, since Pittsburgh is booming, there are developers investing in Larimer Ave. (actually all of East Liberty) to revitalize it. In fact, the old Larimer school is one of them.
