My Neighborhood - Beechview

My neighborhood of Beechview is located just south of the Liberty Tubes. There is a lot going on in my neighborhood right now. A number of really good folks are working hard to clean things up and build for the future. The neighborhood has incredibly good bones and the residents have a huge heart.

We also have what is reputed to to be the steepest paved residential slope in the world. At a grade of 37%, Canton Avenue is certainly the steepest in the city. It is a challenge to walk, frightening to drive and an all-out yang experience to bicycle.
