I teach in Billings, Montana, and not many of the students at my current school have spent much time in major metropolitan areas. As a result, I like to give them a sense of the cultures and rich histories of neighborhoods such as the one August Wilson himself lived in as well as the types of places his characters experienced. One way I do that is through an assignment that has them explore parts of Pittsburgh relevant to Wilson and Fences. I usually give them a handful of "tasks," so I'll share a few of them with you one at a time.
But I'll forewarn you, they're not easy!
August Wilson Adventure - Clue # 1
Best,
Kate

I think I oriented my way through this correctly?
