Braddock, Pennsylvania, is an old steel-mill town outside of Pittsburgh. Like many towns in the Rust Belt, the modern era left Braddock a shell of its former self. But the remaining residents have refused to give up on their city, instead embracing a changing economy and finding innovative ways to thrive again. This is a look at a history of Braddock, and hopefully an inspiration to every town looking to reclaim its glory days. (via Braddock, Pennsylvania: A Graphic Timeline - Cities - GOOD

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 to Penn; thank me later.
