Roots by tishtacular
I grew up in the Munhall/Homestead area. It’s pretty strip-mall and chain-commercial right now, with the addition of the Waterfront. In a few years, though, the area will probably find itself room to grow and heal after the loss of the steel mills. It is still in the early stages. The streets still hold a bit of blue collar history. The smoke stacks are visible from afar, and you can note the years of construction atop older buildings along 8th Ave. The Carnegie Library of Homestead is also worth a visit, as well as the park behind it. Many churches are still standing from their earlier days, too. Buildings that haven’t been renovated still bear the dark exterior stains from the mills’ glory days.
