Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania - Lawrenceville Neighborhood Street Scenes (1)

We found a good parking spot and took off on foot to explore the main street area.  I am glad that we walked past one of the delivery entrances.  These steps go to the storage area underneath the building.

 We were in the "Lower Lawrenceville" area, ground zero for Lawrenceville's boutiquey-antiquey movement.  The Round Corner Hotel has been spiffed up and is now the Round Corner Cantina, now the place for hipsters, the tailored after-work crowd and occasional neighborhood old-timers. The atmosphere is described as "warm and dark" by a local paper review.  Looks like an interesting place.

 O'Bannon Oriental Carpets.  See the world without leaving Pittsburgh. Visit their website to see their travels to buy rugs.  http://www.obannons.com I didn't stop in this store because I hadn't yet been to Istanbul (which would have peeked my interest).

 Antique shop and all of the findings.  I didn't do more than take photos from the street but I would like one of the buddhas.

 Nice cafes with outside seating along the street.

 The neighborhood is green!  Rainbarrels capture the runoff.

 Bike stand.

 I took a lot of photos of the very interesting doors and entranceways.
