This isn't the most pressing thing, but perhaps a chuckleworthy little snackoo for anyone browsin'.

The fash has come! The pushback is encroaching! And they're not gonna take it; our brave heroes turned out in droves to get 'em outta there!

Nazis, disguised as Pittsburgh's pushed-out working class! It's ingenious!
...I mean, maybe they actually were, but I don't see anything with the shirts. One guy's got a tat sleeve, so maybe. ... And wait, why are the cops there? Why would our brave heroes bring on the fash to bash the fash? And what're they armed with - I don't see any holsters, so did they announce they were CC?
The bookstore mentioned sits on one of the busier streets in that neighborhood, which has been pretty thoroughly gentrified in the last five or so years (well, more than it was in the 10 before that) and is the realm of hipsters galore. I don't believe they do the wages thing, and it's all based around 'trust' that you'll take the book, give a book, so-on. Renting out a spot on that street isn't exactly the cheapest thing in the world, so I'm not really sure how they afford it.
It's a street that's a real dream for your average anarchist. Black people that used to live in the neighborhood and surrounding area have all been pushed further and further out, you can catch a punk show down the road over beer, you can call the men's-only barbershop a racist bigot homophobe kkk go away, get some expensive gluten-free goat-milk snackies, and return to your gaudy $1200/mo studio built over demolished buildings them dumb blackies and working class used to live in.
All in all, since a little bit of flare-up on the very first weekend of protests and the monday after, this mid-size town's been pretty uneventful. Plenty of protests, but not much in the way of property damage. And that's just got to be a real downer for our heroes.
