A Chicagoan's View of Squirrel Hill

Always interesting to see what a visitor thinks about one's neighborhood:

He marvels at the mostly full storefronts. Good thing he came before Panera closed and Barnes and Noble announced their closing.

On the other hand: a kosher Dunkin' Donuts has opened. As an acquaintance said to me the other day--this is either great or terrible.

It was interesting to read about Squirrel Hill from an "outsiders" point of view. I've recently moved from Pittsburgh and sorely miss spending Saturdays shopping in that area, going to the Carnegie Library, and eating at Squirrel Hill's unique restaurants.
