Reflections on my year of Leadership Pittsburgh

If you haven't done Leadership Pittsburgh yet, you might be asking yourself: should I?  Consider this outlook from a newly minted graduate. From intense discussions and unusual site visits (think jail) to eye-opening exercises and chocolate deprivation, it was one heck of a year. (Pictured: Lauri Fink and Dan Taylor, class XVII)

Photo slide show: The Carrie Furnaces

From the giant rusting towers and signs of encroaching nature, to colorful graffiti and the famous deer head, see what our Pop City photographer found at the Carrie Furnaces site (and sign up for a tour!).

Pop Filter Hot Pick: Gallery Crawl in the Cultural District

There's the US debut of Norwegian artist HC Gilje's immersive light and video installation. And the toy theater parlor from the The Society for the Advancement of Miniature Curiosa. Not to mention burning poi, snakes and other pyro-props of Steel Town Fire. Get set for 34-plus venues forming a virtual arts hothouse Downtown.

Pittsburgh Mom bloggers create online community (because no parent is perfect)

Coraopolis

Coraopolis

With a location convenient to the airport and several major roads, including I-79, Coraopolis is a walkable and very affordable community that is on the upswing. Interest in revitalizing is high, with the culmination of new projects and the nearby growth of Neville Island and its major sports complex and soccer fields promising to bring in many out-of-towners. In Coraopolis they will find the Montour Trail for biking and walking, along with a number of restaurants and attractions ranging from a renowned yoga studio to a large antique store brimming with eclectic offerings. Why are developers and major engineering firms high on Coraopolis? Location, yes, not to mention affordable rents and lots of potential. It could be the best kept secret in town, says one investor, who calls it a great town, an untapped area with a lot of potential.


The 21 Coraopolis bus route serves the Thorn Run Park and Ride, 4th and 5th avenues.
