Neighborhood Stories: Deutschtown

Abstract

In 2012, shortly afer Gina and Corey Grone moved to James Street, a neighbor invited Gina to attend the Community Council meeting for the neighborhood of East Allegheny, also known as Deutschtown. “I thought it might be a group of people sitting around in a church basement, but I went and it was so eye opening. There were updates about things I never would have found out about. They were talking about landscaping at Giant Eagle and I thought ‘these people have impact on what kind of plantings the grocery store has!’” Gina joined and is now the president of the East Allegheny Community Council.
