7th Ave Northside. The historic black neighborhood in my city. The "Harlem" of Black Northside & Sandfield will be it for the Black Southside. This location is where you had all the performing mainstream black artists, businesses, & culture during the heyday of Jim Crow. Queen City Hotel use to sit on the corner of 15th & 7th Ave & was one of the few lodgings for out of town Blacks. My city was the Black Mecca for this region of the Sipp back then.
Pittsburgh and western PA is interesting in terms of percentage, Pittsburgh’s decent/above average, but it also has a lot of smaller cities/mill towns/suburbs in the area with around national average to predominantly black percentages. Places like Wilkinsburg, Penn Hills, Homestead, Aliquippa, McKeesport, Clairton, Rankin, Duquesne, Swissvale, the Braddocks and places like Beaver Falls, Monessen, Rochester, Washington, Uniontown, Midland, McKees Rocks, Donora, New Castle, Ferrell, Sharon, Arnold, Monroeville, etc. come to mind. So, a lot of the area’s black population is more spread out among many of the other smaller places in the metro area/region.
I kniw he's expressing his opinion in it but it comes off cringy. Along with a few other of his articles.
You have to have a real appreciation for Damon's sense of humor, use of sarcasm, use of cultural references, etc. to fully get where he's coming from. I enjoy pretty much everything he writes and I plan on buying his book when it's released a couple months from now.

Hes funny but sometime he just reaches. Its a little hard for me to enjoy a piece about Pittsburgh being the blackest city in America-its just too much of a reach and he knows that.

It's an intentionally hyperbolic piece. I thought that was obvious.
