Braddock, PA
Braddock is an urban 'burb of Pittsburgh that has been drawing in DIY types willing to put their time and energy into making this a better place for everyone here. We heard about it in January 2008 from a friend of a friend whose brother had moved to Braddock in December. We made it here for a visit in February and were back for good in March. It's an almost empty town somehow full of energy.
This site is a story of our journey to and within Braddock ... "what follows is a story; one version only of the many possible narratives that could be told of these events." (Kolko & Reid, 1998)
