"Marxist organization"  is a pretty accurate description.  Shadyside used
have (don't know if they still do) the Shadyside Action Coalition and both
groups spend a good deal of time annoying businesses and scaring off new
businesses.

There's a rather funny story concerning the SHUC efforts to keep an
abandoned gas station from being razed in ordered to move in several 
businesses all in the name of civic concern.  Apparently some people 
find the site of a crumbling building a plus for the area.
