How Did Allentown Get So Goth?
Our fall campaign is happening now! It takes a lot to keep City Cast Pittsburgh and Hey Pittsburgh running strong. Your membership helps us cover the cost of bringing you the local stories you care about. If you believe in what we do, become a member of City Cast Pittsburgh today. Every member makes a difference!
It’s spooky season, and if you’re looking for creepy merch, you probably want to head to Allentown. Where else can you pick up an antique glass bottle that was used to hold embalming fluid? The strip along East Warrington is home to a bunch of offbeat businesses and has become a mecca for the goth kids, the misfits and the metalheads. In honor of Halloween season, we’re bringing back our conversation with Kelly Braden, owner of Grim Wizard Coffee and the Weeping Glass, and Zach Bellante, owner of Death Comes Lifting, about why the Hilltop became the perfect place to set up shop.
