First of all, I love your city. I am staying downtown, took the incline to Mt Washington had a wonderful dinner, then ice cream and bought treats at an old fashioned bakery up there.

My question: is there a protest starting in downtown tomorrow?

I'm originally from da Burgh. It's a beautiful vibrant city, and the people are friendly. Pittsburgh has done better job revitalizing itself than any other rust belt city!

Market Square

A crowd of about 100 protesters marched from Market Square to the Allegheny County Jail and down to Liberty Avenue Saturday evening.

Pittsburgh police said the protesters stopped in front of the jail for about 30 minutes before heading back downtown toward the Boulevard of the Allies. They stopped at the intersection of Liberty Avenue and Seventh Street shortly after.

Police said the protest was entirely peaceful and there were no incidents.
