Cercone Barbershop

A true Yinzer might hang a Pittsburgh Left onto Liberty Avenue and get their hair cut at Cercone's. And they would earn bonus points if they marked their on-street parking spot with a Pittsburgh chair before they left their home in Squirrel Hill.

Asset is inspired by Cercone Barbershop in Bloomfield, Pittsburgh PA. Bloomfield is the "Little Italy" of the Steel City.

From the Pittsburgh Post Gazette in 2010: "Dan Cercone came to the United States from Abruzzo, Italy, in 1922. Nine years later, in 1931, he opened a barber shop on Liberty Avenue in Bloomfield. Dan died in 1992, but his barber shop still stands. You can't miss it. The facade is painted a bright red, white and blue. And of course there's a spinning barber pole out front. Inside, you'll find Dan's daughter Janet Cercone Scullion behind the desk. Grandson Dennis Scullion cuts hair. He'll soon be joined by his son David. "This is a real mom and pop business," Janet says. For a while, the Cercone family lived in the building, first in a few rooms behind the shop, then in an apartment above it. Janets says she grew up thinking of Liberty Avenue as her front yard. Much has changed since then -- a Starbucks now occupies the Plaza Theater across the street, for example. But Bloomfield retains its character as a closely knit neighborhood formed by Italian immigrants who continued to arrive into the 1970s. For many, like Dan Cercone, their legacies remain a vital part of the city."

This is a fair representation of the real-life building just with a different style mansard roof/gable. Note that I put in the extra effort to make the barbershop poles animated with AnimUV. The poles will spin when your game is not paused.


This Barbershop is one of the first wave from my Little Italy collection I plan to publish in the coming months where I take independent Italian American businesses with appealing vintage signage that have endured for decades in places like NYC, Philly, Detroit, St Louis, SF, etc.. Expect to see pasta shops, cheese shops, cafes, bakeries, butchers and much more.
