Some of you guys live sheltered lives; this isn’t New Jersey “car jack central. Those kids that stand @ the corner of Franktown and Homewood avenues used to be me and we never plotted on taking anyone’s car.


My family and I usually drive through the nicer neigborhoods too look at the Christmas lights.

What’s the purpose of driving through something so depressing? If you’re driving through just to take a short cut fine but if your going through just to see how “ ghetto “ it is and to teach your kids some sort of lesson than shame on you.

N. Braddock Avenue in Homewood, USED TO BE another very popular hangout spot for the drug addicted prostitutes. Especially under that bridge near the old Beer World. Again, don't know if they're still hanging out down there or not.

There are quite a few prostitution rings, I'm sure, that you can go to privately, but most of the prostitutes, you see nowadays, on the corners and walking the streets, are feeding their drug habits.

Nah, they're no longer there.

That's good to know.

I remember, one time, me and my girls were riding through there on our way to the after hour club, and one of those N. Braddock Avenue prostitutes propositioned US while we were waiting for the light to turn green at the corner of N. Braddock and Hamilton. It was a car full of GIRLS, for Pete's Sake!

You can say that. Now it pretty much is a gayborhood of sorts (four gay bars within a block.)

Yeah, I used to live on Susquehanna st( where they have demolished the row houses ) and my school Bus stop used to be at the Corner of N. Braddock and Susquehanna. I used to see her every morning.

Actually, his ass isn't that dumb. Hill Street Blues is supposed to take place on the Hill District, presumably because Bochco studied playwriting at Tech (CMU). The show that was "inspired by san fran, dumb ass," was The Streets of San Francisco (Karl Malden, Michael Douglas).

Quote:
Show writer Steven Bochco attended college at the Carnegie Institute of Technology (now Carnegie Mellon University) in Pittsburgh. The run-down, shabby, drug-ridden impression of Pittsburgh's Hill District Bochco acquired was apparently part of the inspiration for the show.[3]
Hill Street Blues - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Quote:
Again Gregory Hoblit explains "People in Baltimore, Detroit, Boston, Philly, all thought it was their city. We purposely did not designate a city: We wanted it to be any big city where there was weather, where you got rain and snow and a sense of urban decay. The Hill itself was named after an area in Pittsburgh: a tough area called the Hill and the precinct there. Bochco had gone to college in Pittsburgh, at Carnegie Mellon".
