Entry № 47 · Cleveland & 14th, Pittsburgh

The lot behind the laundromat sat empty for eleven years.
Then it didn’t.

Noticed APR · 2026
An isometric drawing of an abandoned fenced-in lot behind the Cleveland & 14th Laundromat: cracked asphalt, a lone bare tree, a tipped shopping cart.

Eleven years of cracked asphalt, a chain-link fence, a slumped shopping cart. People walked past it every morning.

The same lot mid-transformation: neighbors break up asphalt, push wheelbarrows, and assemble raised beds.

One Saturday the asphalt came up. Sledgehammers, wheelbarrows, reclaimed lumber. 7 neighbors became 17.

The lot, finished: a community garden with raised beds, a mural on the laundromat wall, a bench, a young tree at the centre.

Beds, a path, a bench, a fruit tree. A mural where the back wall used to be blank. Life returns.
