Sliberty | East Liberty
East Liberty has a rich history shaped by cycles of growth, decline, and revitalization. In the 19th century, it was a prosperous commercial center, known for its bustling business district. However, urban renewal projects in the 1960s, including the construction of a pedestrian mall and large public housing complexes, led to economic decline and increased crime. By the early 2000s, efforts to revitalize the neighborhood brought new businesses, housing, and development, attracting both residents and visitors. Today, East Liberty is a hub of cultural diversity, with a mix of historic landmarks and modern urban development.
