Rust Belt Chic Pittsburgh

In my never ending quest to understand Rust Belt Chic, I steer you to Rust Wire:

“I started Pittsburgh is Beautiful as a visual expression of what makes Pittsburgh so awesome – ‘gritty is the new pretty’, basically,” she said. “I love the juxtaposition of the old versus new that happens so frequently in our town. Although Pittsburgh has gone through some hard times in the past few decades, it is enjoying an urban revival and I am so glad to be here for it.”

I emphasized the part of the quote that I think best captures the soul of Rust Belt Chic. I encourage you to click on through and view the photos.
