Topic: The Strip


  
  The Strip District: Organizations: Boys' Club
Probably the most vital fact in connection with the "Strip" situation is that 2700 boys, between the ages of eight and eighteen, are growing to manhood in the region between Seventeenth and Fifty-second Streets.
The living conditions during their formative years are far from being conducive to building the type of honest, industrious workers that Pittsburgh needs today and always will need.
Instead, conditions in the "Strip" tend to make of its growing boys the same kind of fodder for our criminal courts and penal institutions that has come from this district in the past.

 Metroactive Features | Strip Malls
The strip mall is the architectural equivalent of the leisure suit; urban planners and environmentalists revile it as impersonal, cookie-cutter, just plain butt-ugly; they damn the strip mall as the scourge of the suburbs.
In many cases, in fact, the neighborhood strip mall is the last bastion of the small-business owner who cannot afford downtown rent (which is driven up by land value and by the cost of parking spaces), much less a spot in Valley Fair.
The strip mall is so inherent to the idea of California suburbia that its original floor plan, the basic Main Street/sidewalk layout, has come to be known as the "California" design.
