Tony Buba chronicled the decline of his hometown of Braddock, Pennsylvania in a series of acclaimed documentaries that elevated him to national notoriety. But in the extraordinary documentary/fiction hybrid LIGHTNING OVER BRADDOCK: A RUST BOWL FANTASY (1988), he asks what it means when his success is tied to so many people's poverty.

- Did John Fetterman not come up once on this? Longtime mayor of Braddock. - I like that his idea of a “Hollywood musical” sounds avant-garde AF.

Just watched “Sweet Sal” on Vimeo and loved it. Really fun. What a character

Tony Buba, a 77-year-old documentarian who was born and raised in Braddock, said he became frustrated with Fetterman under similar circumstances. Although he no longer lives there, Buba has made several films about the town. In 2010, he joined a group protesting health care giant University of Pittsburgh Medical Center’s shutdown of Braddock’s local hospital. Fetterman opposed the shutdown too, but Buba said the mayor didn’t really work alongside the rest of the protesters. Instead, Fetterman’s biggest public gesture came near the end of the saga, when he staged a solo protest at U.S. Steel Tower in Pittsburgh and was arrested for trespassing while holding a sign urging UPMC to open an urgent care center in Braddock. It didn’t work on UPMC, but eventually Braddock did get its urgent care, courtesy of Highmark Health’s Allegheny Health Network. Even so, Buba said the whole episode ended his relationship with Fetterman. That, he said, is another trait that seems to define the lieutenant governor: he doesn’t take criticism well. “If you ever hear him speak, there’s never a ‘we.’ It’s always a ‘me’ or ‘I,’” Buba said.

The Ontario Place story reminded me that DC’s mayor signed a deal with Therme last year to explore the building of “a modern Roman Baths” that’s the “antithesis of the metaverse” on public land (one of the plots being an empty football stadium that many have pushed to be redeveloped into affordable housing…

Just came to see if anyone shared this -- Tony was ahead of the curve sniffing out the BS behind PA's hoodie-clad genocide ogre. (Or I should say, he was in step with other local organizers and a lot of the Black population of Braddock, and the mainstream media/Mr. Moore were just behind the curve...)
