Protesters from outside the region think the Strip District is urban decay and Pittsburgh's red light district!

Some protester Web sites are mistakenly describing the neighborhood as a red light district or an example of urban decay, and Cindy Helffrich, spokeswoman for Neighbors in the Strip, has been busy commenting on such blogs in hopes of correcting the image before protesters flock to the area.

Most businesses in the Strip District will be closing due to fear of protest damage.

Pittsburgh's strip district does have strip clubs (at least one), street walkers, and more than one private club that prostitution rings frequent.

I hardly call a strip club and a couple of gentleman's clubs a red light district. Lawrenceville is more known for its street walkers.
