PART 8
South on Scott Street again in McKeesport.
This stretch of Scott ends at Brom Street.
West on Brom.
This is where things get really good! This is north on Creek Alley.
Continuing on Creek - a people's road!
West on Stewart at Packer. Why, the building even has one of those very old purple sign blades for Packer.
McKeesport is rockin' a fif again! This is south on Soles.
Continuing on Soles.
Bailie at Butler is livened up with some graffiti.
Southwest on Converse. We were practically at this spot earlier.
Converse at Beaver.
Jenny Lind at Flagler. The standard McKeesport stop sign fade is seen.
Northeast on Flagler.
Flagler at Manor.
These photos can't possibly capture the full magic of McKeesport. But this photo shows another aspect of the city. This is Flagler as it rounds a curve into a less built-up area.
Southeast on Ravine at Flagler.
North on Ravine.
Brick is back! This is Ravine at Point.
Ravine goes under Versailles Avenue.
The amazing brick of Ravine continues.
You gotta respect McKeesport for its brick streets. But a 2012 article said the city couldn't build any new brick roads, because nobody knew where to buy bricks.
More bricks on Ravine.
Ravine just sort of becomes White Street.
More bricks on White.
