While many in the urban core believe that suburbia is a singular place, the reality is quite different. Some may think that communities like Antioch and Pittsburg are only a poster child for suburban sprawl and the foreclosure crisis, yet they are also important parts of the region’s industrial heritage and cities of surprising diversity.
