Lawrenceville Design District, Pittsburgh

Your Credit is Good at..., Butler Avenue, Lawrenceville, Pittsburgh

I am doing a research/consulting project there. Yesterday, the District (not our project) was featured in the New York Times Travel section, in "A Design District Takes Shape."

The Sugar Boutique was an early entrant store that attracted similarly minded hip younger entrepreneurs, mostly women, to open up other retail stores on the blocks around it.

But the Butler Avenue commercial district is long, at least 5 miles, and it ranges from hip stores like Sugar and Pavement Shoes to oil and trucking terminals, and abandoned steel mills.

See the 16:62 Design Zone website.
