The sun was beaming on Fifth Avenue Wednesday for McKeesport’s 2022 celebration of Good Neighbor Day.
Businesses, nonprofit groups, community organizations, student organizations, health care providers and musicians from around the city and the Mon Valley lined the street in the downtown business district to sell their wares, spread information about how they serve the local community and/or provide some good-natured fun.
While temperatures in the 90s and high humidity caused many to keep their visits to the festivities short, the street-fair-style event was a success, according to city Parks and Recreation Director Tom Maglicco.
