East Hills is home to the Imani Christian Academy which is based in the former East Hills Elementary school building. East Hills was once home to a flourishing shopping center that was the farthest point for citizens of Pittsburgh's East End to shop and work. However Due to crime and other issues the Shopping center went into decline in the 80's and utterly vanished by the turn of the 21st century. The entire shopping center is now empty and overrun with weeds and debris. The neighborhood of East Hills also had a reputation of being one of the worst neighborhoods in the city in the 90's and a large murder and drug rate did not help matters. However recently the neighborhood has gone under a metamorphosis of change and progress and the neighborhood is now a quiet and peaceful low income neighborhood on Pittsburgh's East End.

Famous quotes containing the word surrounding:
“Thus when I come to shape here at this table between my hands the story of my life and set it before you as a complete thing, I have to recall things gone far, gone deep, sunk into this life or that and become part of it; dreams, too, things surrounding me, and the inmates, those old half-articulate ghosts who keep up their hauntings by day and night ... shadows of people one might have been; unborn selves.”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
