This past Sunday, residents from across the Northside gathered to watch the official unveiling of Unity Corner, a new mural at the intersection of Federal St. and Perrysville Ave. The project was a cumulative effort between the Perry Hilltop and Fineview Citizens Councils, The Pittsburgh Project and Allegheny City Society. A number of students from local elementary, middle and high schools helped complete the project’s artwork under the supervision of artists Sandy Kessler Kaminski and Linda Wallen.
