    Shame on the City Paper for writing such a negative article about one of the true gems of our city, Lawrenceville! If it weren't for Wylie Holdings there would be no Lawrenceville. Wylie Holdings invested in this neighborhood when no one else wanted to, and over two decades created a massive tenant community that now serves as the consumer base for hundreds of businesses throughout the commercial corridor of Butler Street. I happen to think, as many Pittsburghers do, that Lawrenceville is the most dynamic, diverse and delightful neighborhood in Pittsburgh. A night out in one of the many trendy restaurants or an afternoon of one-of-a-kind shopping is all possible because two investors took a chance on community development 20 years ago. Thank you, Wylie Holdings, for not just "speculating" on this zip code but truly investing your time and effort into making it what it is today. Keep up the great work!
