history

While I am not at all qualified to do such, it is also my understanding that the hill district was historically one of the most important centers of african-american culture in the united states. It would be great if someone with adequate knowledge in that field could expand this article and include some of the history of the hill district. Tombride 22:21, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Neighborhoods

I'm redirecting the pages of the individual neighborhoods to the main Hill article. I listed them as bullets, as I don't know enough about the area to detail the nuances of the individual neighborhoods. I suggest someone with this knowledge change the bullets to subheadings and expand, but I don't see that happening soon, as Comcast won't go to the Hill, thus most residents don't have internet access.

New stadium

This article badly needs a section on the new hockey stadium going into Crawford-Roberts. It's all over the place in local and national news and one of the biggest contemporary issues in the Hill District. — brighterorange (talk) 14:55, 28 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What is a "community?"

The Hill District is a part of the City of Pittsburgh. It is not fitting to refer to it as being a "community with an African American majority population." It is simply another one of the neighborhoods of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. HeyYallYo 02:37, 12 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

All of Pittsburgh's neighborhoods are communities; that is what makes this city great. --Absolute Relativity 01:50, 18 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Very unclear paragraph

This paragraph makes no sense, can someone with knowledge of what it was supposed to say fix it?

Prior to 1930, the Hill District was inhabited by a diverse mix of residents, among them generations of Irish and Jewish immigrants. However, conditions in the area not being much better (due to activities by one of the most dedicated units of the Ku Klux Klan), they retreated to the Hill District and established small businesses such as barbershops.

Who retreated? I'm assuming Irish/Jewish immigrants left the Hill? Anyone?
