Changing Landscape Update
Posted by JennyLast month I posted about the changing landscape in Braddock. No surprise—things keep moving forward!
The brick oven now has a roof and was set in motion with a pizza and bread baking evening. Today the oven is puffing away again as Josh bakes up bread and pizzas for the Post-Gazette coverage.
What I thought was going to be a sculpture garden on the lot behind the Verona bus stop was actually being made into a mosaic garden. The Post-Gazette covered Braddock’s mosaic and linked efforts to create an art community.
This weekend volunteers will be planting fruit trees on the lot at the entrance to town near the steel mill. The urban orchard will take the place of an abandoned lot, which already looks better since it has been leveled and seeded.
And down on 6th street between Talbot and Braddock the building that burnt down this past winter is being rebuilt at an impressive speed.
