allegheny angel - no, never tired!

hmm - id have to say manchester and allegheny west arent my favorite neighborhoods. i DO love the buildings at 2:41 and 3:05 of the video.

what streets were those near the end of the video. they remind me of Georgetown DC, which i loved so much.

now the Mexican War Streets (which i am getting to know and admire) are NOT part of 'allegheny west', right?

This is actually a film of the factory in operation before it went out of business:

Edit: There is a shot of the complex at about 1:21 in the video/photo-tour in the original post.

Here is an older article about the neighborhood master plan for a loft district in that area, which includes a reference to the Hipwell complex and its possible purchase (which has apparently gone through):

A future loft district takes shape

Hipwell is the "residential lofts with integral parking" on the south side of North:
