    "I moved into Upper Lawrenceville about 4 years ago. The neighborhood has improved since I have moved in with more professionals living here and the commercial district on Butler getting some of the best restaurants in the city. Having said that, this is still a blue collar neighborhood. People watch out for each other, but it takes a little bit of time to get to know everyone. On the down side, public transportation is still iffy and accessibility overall may be difficult for those who cannot drive because of the steepness of the hill. If you do drive, it is ten minutes to shadyside, twelve or fifteen to downtown (depending on traffic), and about twenty to squirrel hill. The housing stock is mixed in quality, though there seem to be a good number of complete rehabs improving the general character of the neighborhood. The central lawrenceville shopping (only a couple of minutes away) is one of the most interesting in the city with a cider house, a bowling alley that has band, several restaurants, the best bakery in the city, lots of clothing and stores with knick-knacks, antiques, new record stores, the best lesbian bar in the city, and a good deal of nightlife.
