AbstractIf you're not from Homewood, suspend what you think you know about it for a little visit to the 7300 block of Fleury Way. It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood, mid-60s without a cloud in the sky, and a solar-powered greenhouse is almost completed on the lot beside the Bible Center Church, which resides in a row of houses once claimed by crackheads. Its pastor, Rev. John Wallace, who also occupies the Philip Hallen chair in community health and social justice in the University of Pittsburgh's School of Social Work, gave the buildings a higher purpose in 2005 when he installed the church and an entrepreneurial youth development program there.
