The politics of public space buffed to a blinding shine - coal drops and blast furnaces regenerate into boutiques and tech corridors. George Romero and petty thievery spur re-calibrations of a home town’s self-image. Citizens navigate a maze of civic responsibility, community pride, and collective disgrace in a media city gone viral.
