Alexander's Market was selling rib steaks for $2.98 a pound and the Mon Valley steel town of Braddock maintained a lively retail district along Braddock Avenue in 1975. Since then, shopping has moved to chain and box stores in the surrounding suburbs. Braddock has lost most of its small retail business and much of its population. For those who still call the borough home, it has become a more spacious, greener place.
