“I have nothing against progress, however the strip district and the businesses in it are an integral part of our city and culture. if you push these businesses, that have become part of our Pittsburgh community, out, you will only succeed in destroying what is one of the best parts of our city. I’m begging you to listen to these businesses and work with them to keep our beloved Strip District in the manner which has become a major destination for all who live and visit our city.”
