North Side Townhouses, Pittsburgh

For as hip as these North Side home refurbishers are, a surprising number of them still have their Christmas decorations up. 
  If you had to live in the city, this would be the way to do it.
 This little enclave of restored townhouses is just off Allegheny Avenue.
 I love a big porch, but would you really use it if you lived in town?  
 Some of these old structures are built for crowded conditions, but stand alone.  
 Oh, are we in America?  I hadn't noticed.  I think these flags really ruin the aesthetic of the block.
The photo is washed out, but this is one of my favorite houses in the city.  Get a load of those lion statues at the entrance.
