Looks like another eviction that the neighbors got to before the evicted folks could salvage:

Reminds me of my days working in west Baltimore.

@ Citylover94 - that's a darn quick build going on in Boston.

@ shakman - I managed an apartment building in PG county for a short time, and though not frequent, evictions did occur. The Sheriff officers who accompanied us into the eviction apartments didn't seem too concerned when the passers-by would rummage through the belongings. :shrug:

this is the greatest thread ever, why am I just seeing this now :shrug: :tup:

I'll contribute when I can, love the oddities and especially the grit. parts of PA are REALLY gritty, far more than I was aware of tbh

Thanks for joining the fun Brizzy. :cheers:

I have wondered what is under the blue jacket over this guy's right arm?

Kind of sad....a little kid alone in an alley in Allentown, PA. :(

That's our morlock tunnel there.

Gotta say, we don't have a shopping center like this around my house.

Neat idea for a topic!

I didn't see this one posted yet (though I'm sure several others on here know of it). Sampsonia Way, a unique alley in Pittsburgh, has some colorful scenes, especially if you look back to 2008, when locals organized a 'parade' to celebrate the return of the google vehicle to their humble local. Granted, it's all staged, but there's some interesting things to see.

Starting at the west end of the street, a colorful...monster?...piñata?...peeks out from a doorway:

Further down, you see some new millennials moving to the hippest new neighborhood:
https://incidentaltravellers.files.w...3360&h=&crop=1

Crossing Guards to guide the volumes of alley traffic. Piñata man looks to be in trouble on the right side of the image:

Someone climbing out a window to get in on the action:

The parade, complete with confetti and a marching band, passes by the Mattress Factory:

Not sure what kind of garage start-up is going on here - love-ray laser device?:
https://incidentaltravellers.files.w...0&h=281&crop=1

Marathon Runners:

At this corner store, note the person dressed as a...ham (I had to zoom in closer to see):
https://incidentaltravellers.files.w...0&h=281&crop=1

Across the street, the fun continues, with a giant chicken / turkey. Hopefully sans-person inside:

Additionally. here are some of the decorated houses near the Mattress Factory:

^ deja vu, not sure why, but the pics aren't showing for me :shrug:

I think they should show up now...although I'm not sure why some of the images are much larger than the others.
