BRADDOCK, Pa. (AP) - Mayor John Fetterman worked alongside a team of volunteers pulling broken furniture and other debris out of an abandoned church, its ceilings sagging and its belfry thick with pigeon droppings.
It's too important a building to leave for the birds, he believes, but could be a perfect setting for an art show.
It's just one of his projects to revive Braddock — a Rust Belt town near Pittsburgh where smoke still rises from the Edgar Thomson Steel Works — Andrew Carnegie's first mill, opened in 1875 — but where nearly every other business is now shuttered.
