But where does she live? Help me write my story!

Posted by macengr on April 24, 2007

Okay, for all of you that are writers or party types out there in Pittsburgh:

My latest story has a barmaid that works at a jazz bar in Lawrenceville, and my lead character, an investigator with a security firm is on his way to talk to her.  Problem is, she won’t tell me where she lives!

I’m trying to avoid Oakland and Shadyside.  I pondered the Mexican War Streets. This story takes place a few years in the future, mind you.  I don’t think she’d have the income for a loft.

So, any ideas?

Thanks!

Scott

  1. Downtown? North Side? Strip District? Greenfield? Regent Square?

  2. Bloomfield would be an easy commute to work, and with new developments bringing close to $2 billion to the area, it may be a hip neighborhood for a party girl in the near future.

    I second Bloomfield, in the near future it will retain its diversity and character plus enjoy a bit of prosperity. Besides, Bloomfield is close enough for your character to use her bicycle or her bus pass.

    you could do southside or she could live in Lawrenceville as well.
