Braddock, PA is a somewhat typical, small Rust Belt town where the industry has all left. But Braddock has been getting a lot of press over the past seven years or so because of Mayor John Fetterman and all the good work he’s doing there. There a tons of great interviews with him, so google him if you’re interested. 

I have a lot of respect for the work he’s doing, and this ad really connects with me and why I want to work on revitalizing these rust belt cities. They’re all opportunity.
