Lawrenceville Commuter Rail and "Green Boulevard"? →
I’ve probably posted a link every time there’s been any mention of a transportation project in Pittsburgh, and virtually all of them, with the exception of the dreaded North Shore connector, have fallen flat.
But still, as I read this I can hardly contain myself. It sounds like a really neat project, and I hope we see it happen!
And if it’s not too much to ask, the trollies...

Pittsburgh Oktoberfest Showdown
It’s really the most wonderful time of the year. Yes, that’s right. It’s time for Oktoberfest in Pittsburgh.
This week, the Post-Gazette and the Trib highlighted the two biggest Oktoberfests in the area - the Hofbrauhaus, and Penn Brewery. But there’s really no comparison. Seriously, one is in a big parking lot and one is at the oldest craft brewery in the state. Go...

Finding Frankie's
A few years ago there was a guy named Nathan who lived among the warehouses just below Butler Street in Lower Lawrenceville. Nathan was blind, and he didn’t make a point of venturing outside the neighborhood very often, but nearly every day a curious aroma of onions, and grease wafting through the neighborhood would lead Nathan toward Frankie’s Extra Long. All he had to do was follow the...

The Cloud Factory, mourned too soon →
I somehow missed this article when it first appeared back in January. Brian O’Neill reacts to the Cloud Factory’s change from coal to natural gas only to later realize that not all that much has changed… or has it?

If BP hit home
rustybridge:
Pittsburgher Rob de la Cretaz pointed out the amazing site www.ifitwasmyhome.com which uses your current location to help visualize the impact of the BP oil spill. The spill is so large that if it began in Pittsburgh it would almost spill into Lake Erie.

Pittsburgh's Inexact Translations
If you read the Magazine section of yesterday’s Post Gazette, you may have noticed an ironic pairing of articles about the new, and inevitably disappointing sitcom set in Pittsburgh, “Romantically Challenged.” The first article, “Love for Penguins behind City’s setting for ‘Romantically Challenged,’” explains creator, Ricky Blitt’s crazed...
