Among the buzz is the assertion that this, along with a bunch of other
odd goings-on in the same neighborhood, was a kind of street-theater
organized in concert with Google:

If that _was_ Nick's former brother-in-law duking it out with swords
in the
photo to which Nick linked, then there are at least two other
connections
between this oddity and members of this list: the marching band seen
in some
scenes is from my high school (Langley High School in Pittsburgh,
nowhere
near Sampsonia street, so not sure how they got involved), and the whole
Street With a View project was supported in part by my alma mater,
Carnegie
Mellon University.
Kind of odd.
