The essays and artwork in this anthology aim for the surprising, elusive stories that capture a Pittsburgh that is in transition. Contributors run the gamut from MacArthur-award winning photographer, LaToya Ruby Frazier to 15-year-old Nico Chiodi, the book's youngest contributor who chronicles the doings of the North Side Banjo Club. \"Everyone in this book,\" writes editor, Eric Boyd, \"is talking about the city, the things surrounding it; all of the pieces have been created with experience, intimacy, and personality. This book, I hope, will speak to you, not at you. Because we all know this city is changing. We're just not exactly sure what that means.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Included are contributions by Amy Jo Burns, LaToya Ruby Frazier, Ben Gwin, Cody McDevitt, David Newman, and many more. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"These voices are varied and quirky, some polished and professional sounding, some a little rough around the edges.
